Question Time Tonight

All true, but while the programme may be coming from Northern Ireland it's broadcast to the rest of the UK. I'd assume that NI gets its own political discussion programmes (though I have no actual notion whether or not this is the case). I also assume that mainland politics is of pragmatic interest to the Northern Irish electorate, since the continuation of their state depends on it to a great extent, and none of the unrepresented parties you mention have much sway in mainland politics. So all in all, I can see where the producers are coming from ...

I'd agree with you to an extent, however, if its not to reflect the different political views across the country what is the point in Question Time actually going around the country in the first place.  

Whether or not, NI has its own political programs or not isn't really relevant, a UK wide program should be reflecting what is going on in NI to the wider UK.

I could only watch half of the programme last night. If the politicians and audience are anything to go by, it must be an awful place to live in. The troubles may ahve quelled but the bad feeling is still there and they are still way behind with abortion and gay marriage...:huh:

Things might not be as bad as they were previously but its still not all sweetness and light, just tends not to get reported on the "mainland".

Daniel Hannan representing the Tories, to say he's moving out of his comfort zone would be an understatement!

 

I wonder if he'll get out alive.

Hopefully Gordon Sawers will be in the audience.

Owen Jones used to make some decent points until he decided to jump on the Corbyn bandwagon for the benefit of his career. Now he's just another soundbite specialist whose every move is designed to help him get elected in the next GE.

Rumours that there may be some "weel kent" faces in the audience from previous QT's in Scotland ....

Cant believe it myself ...but it is the BBC

It seems that there are a lot of grumpy people in Kilmarnock

As per above I wonder how many were actually from Killie?

The old boy who made the "Ruth for PM" question certainly had a face like fizz at the derision directed at his suggestion...
