The audience would still have been the same. Shows why Cameron was right to give it a miss and the BBC are not fit For purpose...........

Ffs. You should write in and complain.

They are the most recent voting figures, or should we just make up some numbers like Ed Balls......

There should have been proper representation, just because you don't like what the numbers show does not mean that Farage was wrong.....he had a very valid point......at least be honest......

Source, Pete?

Guessing The Mail, Sun or Telegraph

We were talking about representative audience. Whether it's done as actual voters or MP's elected, the BBC loaded the audience.........disgraceful.......

Not true, but if it suits your agenda , ok. The independent ICM picked the audience.

Rubbish, how many seats does UKIP have in comparison to the SNP, Greens and Plaid Cymru?
I think you'll find the Fascists are vastly over represented in the press/media

And that's fair enough. I have no time for the SNP. But Farage quickly sussed that the audience was not representative of the electors and like him or loathe him he was right............

"The BBC initially refused to disclose the political make-up of the audience but eventually released figures on Friday afternoon.
They showed that, of the 200-strong audience, about 58 were Conservative or Ukip supporters while about 102 supported left-leaning parties - Labour, the Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid Cymru or the SNP – and the rest were undecided.".......

Isn't that a reasonable makeup of the electorate right now, though? I admit, I'm completely steamboats right now and may not be making much sense.

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

Labour hasn't been left leaning since the early 90s.

That independent ICM has always been bias agaisnt ukip even right now their poll results show ukip percentage to be half of what it is on all the other polls.
