New Arab Debates 'The Arab Spring is Over'

This evening I attended the New Arab Debates presented by Tim Sebastian, known for the BBC's HARDTALK programme. David McNally, Jameela, Tom, Elaina, David C. and his girlfriend were also there.Tonight the motion was 'The Arab Spring is over' and the televised debate was held at the Grand Hotel in Tunis. The debate was fairly lively with Tim Sebastian providing humorous comments and thought-provoking questions to stimulate debate between the two speakers.
I found that the comments and questions from the audience were actually more interesting than the two speakers' arguments and towards the end of the evening Tim questioned the confidence of the male speaker ' Your confidence is sagging !'Despite this apparent dent in his confidence he turned out to be the 'winner' as most of the audience seemed convinced by his arguments and voted against the motion.
