Last night, Channel 4 and Sky News hosted the Battle for Number 10 media event (we can't really call it a debate, can we?), which saw Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Prime Minister Theresa May posed questions by a studio audience and by Jeremy Paxman.
Despite what was acknowledged to be a middling, haranguing performance by Jeremy Paxman...
Theresa May managed to fluff her lines a few times.
Her performance with the studio audience was also pretty lacklustre to say the least.
Despite the utter shambles from the sitting Prime Minister, one audience member saw fit to give her a standing ovation at the end of the performance.
People noticed:
But, strangely you can kind of sympathise with the gawky misjudgment.
Love the audience guy who stood up to give May standing ovation then sheepishly sat down when he realised he was alone. #BattleforNumber10— Jim Pickard (@Jim Pickard) 1496091576
God bless this man who thought that others would also do a standing ovation #BattleForNumber10 https://t.co/QOAySYRRwL— Scott Bryan (@Scott Bryan) 1496091645
Fantastic reaction by audience members to the failed attempt to start standing ovation #BattleForNumber10 https://t.co/TctI7mhVNc— The 1% (@The 1%) 1496092190
One-man standing ovation for @theresa_may at the end there. Awkward. #battlefornumber10— Lauren Harris AITI MCIPR (@Lauren Harris AITI MCIPR) 1496091617
We've all been there, thinking we'd lead the charge, only to see that no one has gone with us.
So, in short, the remedy is to never lead the charge.
Sit there, strong and stable, never taking the lead and just going along with the wishes of the crowd.
After all...
No standing ovation is better than a bad standing ovation #BattleForNumber10— Mike Feast (@Mike Feast) 1496092141
