#Watching the TV3 election debate with leaders from TPM, Greens, Winston First and ACT:

It annoys me that the news media elevated the leaders of the legacy parties to their own private Chrisfest, instead of having a leaders debate that included these 4. That would have been a much more robust and insightful debate than listening to two sheets of human wallpaper dribble talking points at each other.

I'd really like to see an election debate where the host has a button to turn off each speaker's microphone. As soon as any of them starts delivering a scripted talking point, they immediately lose the floor to the next speaker. By having their mic turned off if they don't yield to the host.
Imagine a cross between a debate and an episode of The Weakest Link.
Can they each be seated above a dunk tank and the audience is given a handful of tennis balls to deploy as they see fit?

Even more fun than the dunk than, give the audience a mute button each. If a supermajority (eg 60%) of them press it while a speaker is talking, their mic is muted, and they lose the floor.
How about instead of a mute button a fart sound button. Then as the audience gets restless they keep pressing the button more and more until the wind blows the speaker away.
