I think I understand what it's about.  Given whatr I expect it to be 
like I strongly suspect that if I did have a vote in choosing the 
candidate I would be strongly inclined not to watch the debate - which 
probably wouldn't justify that term in any case.

The closest we have come to that this side of the pond is for the 
Leadership of the Labour Party, in which I do have a vote so perhaps I 
ought to view at least one hustings before finally deciding on my order 
of preference.  At least whoever is chose will not to front a General 
Election until 2020 which allows time to refocus attacks on the 
Conservative Party rather than their own colleagues.
