UK Prime Minister Theresa May appeared bemused when she received a question from “Jeremy Corbyn of Islington” during a Facebook Live question and answer session hosted by Britain’s ITV.
“Hello Theresa May,” the Opposition Leader’s question began.
“As Prime Minister, you've served your elite friends by giving them tax cuts when wages have stagnated, house-building is at its lowest since the 1920s, there are 20,000 fewer police on our streets since 2010, and the NHS is in crisis.
“Do you not think the British people deserve to see me and you debate live and on television?”
Prime Minister May, who called a snap election for early June, has refused to hold any debates with her unpopular Labour rival.
“What I think is more important is actually that I and he take questions directly from the voters,” she responded.
“I don't think people get much out of seeing politicians having a go at each other. I think people want to hear directly."
The Prime Minister appears set to significantly increase her Conservative Party’s parliamentary majority in the June 8 election.
