Just a minute

It appears to me, after listening to a series of ill-mannered leadership debates, that future formats should follow that of the radio show Just a Minute in order to provide each candidate with a 60-second, uninterrupted opportunity to respond to questions.

All that is required is that they avoid repetition, hesitation or deviation from the subject. On second thoughts, forget it.
