Having 14 candidates on stage all at the same time is pointless, and that's one thing I agree with O'Leary on. If they must have 14 people running then organize smaller debates around the country and have different candidates taking part at various times. There needs to be a way to weed out the ones with no hope of winning so as to have productive debates that focus on those that do have a chance of leading the party to victory in 2019.
