Yea i'd have to agree that the debates here in the US are a complete joke. They're scripted, and uninformative like you said, but not only that.. they don't even include all the candidates. Hell, even in the debate where the audience got to ask questions here, they had to be pre-approved, so they ended up asking the same crap that was already asked and no one learns anything. And even if someone DOES ask something that the candidates arent prepared for they just avoid answering the question alltogether and just go off on their pre-scripted line.
The vice president debates were actually done a little better, they both got rather snippy with eachother, i was highly amused.
