Today's The Politics Show focused on immigration and staged a debate between Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems in the programme's chosen constituency of Stourbridge. Jon Sopel, of course, presided.
*
The audience were certainly more balanced than a Question Time audience but centre-right viewers will have noticed that the Conservative spokesman, mild-mannered Damian Green, spoke less and was questioned and interrupted by Jon Sopel more than his more aggressive left-of-centre counterparts.
*
Here are the statistics:
*
Damian Green (Conservative)
Number of questions - 7
Number of interruptions by Jon Sopel - 3
Time allowed to speak - 3 minutes 58 seconds
Interruption Coefficient - 0.8
*
Phil Woolas (Labour)
Number of questions - 4
Number of interruptions by Jon Sopel - 2
Time allowed to speak - 5 minutes 41 seconds
Interruption Coefficient - 0.4
*
Chris Huhne (Lib Dem)
Number of questions - 3
Number of interruptions by Jon Sopel - 2
Time allowed to speak - 4 minutes 24 seconds
Interruption coefficient - 0.5
