The ability to think on your feet in a tight corner is what differentiates a front line politician from the rest of us political anoraks. But yes I like Natalie Bennett on a personal level and I didn't feel the schadenfreude that I did with Cameron flailing with Pink News when asked why his party is in coalition with homophobic nutjobs in the EP. You never know it might be the making of her, its certainly put her on the map. There's always the Boris option when you frequently can't answer a question; bluster out some noises, make an unfunny joke and say something in Latin. Just think what a 'character' Natalie could become.
Meanwhile Caroline Lucas had a good evening on Newsnight debating MP's pay with the odious Adam Afriyie. She was bemused as the rest of us as to why you can't live on £67K basic salary while Afriyie attempted to tug our heartstrings at all the Tories who had to take a pay cut to enter parliament. Afriyie as we know is a hard right populist who is touch with ordinary people.
