 @58db300d I was just saying I'd like RNZ to pre-record (or delay) interviews with the understanding that any time the interviewee repeats their talking point verbatim, it gets deleted.  The audience has heard your f***ing talking point already

Exactly. Talking points are a way of avoiding the question, while using up limited debate time. This is why I propose the button. Then even the live audience wouldn't have to put up with that.

The panel discussion after that TV3 debate revealed that Seymour spoke the most during that debate. But they all agreed he was mostly waffling talking points and losing the audience
