I think DC was by far the best.
Clegg was supremely irritating - that bit at the end when he did his sixth form prefect bit of remembering all the christian names of people who'd asked the questions was vomit worthy, Jackie.
Brown - bless him. It was of course hardest for him as he had to both defend his past policies and propose ideas. He should never have agreed to do it.

the video is best

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 23:08

Would be good if the se debates shake up the political order. Go Cleggie Go

vesela · 15/04/2010 23:08

TDiddy - here you go . 34,000 members in about 3 days.

Dh is watching all the bloody after debate coverage so Outnumbered will have to wait. I can't go downstairs without attending an anger management course first because the telly will go through the window.

Clegg will go for Foreign Scretary and Cable Chancellor?

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 23:03

Sorry monkeysavingexpertdotcom

DC came across as vacuous and lacking in policies. GB spent too much time attacking DC instead of promoting Labour policies. NC won hands down for me. I've just read the Lib Dem manifesto cover to cover and I like what I'm hearing. Lib Dems for me. I think they are the party that will wield the power after the election, whoever "wins". A hung Parliament is looking more and more likely, and I am hoping for one.

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 23:02

Yes, John Sarge talks as though he is gliding across the floor. It is great.

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 23:00

If we have a hung Parliament maybe Vince could be Chancellor...

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 22:59

Yeah, now his tones really are fatherly and hushed

BeenBeta, I don't think the tories will use that as a national slogan in case they end up needing LDs to form a gov't.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it on local leaflets etc though (and indeed Labour saying the same thing in reverse, vote NC get DC)

monkeysavingexpertdotcom · 15/04/2010 22:52

TDiddy, I meant Lady BlaBlah - spelt her MN name wrong.

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 22:50

On all the comment to interviewers that I've seen so far Labour bigwigs look like they're trying to prepare for a hung Parliament by aligning themselves with lib dems (who just happen to have done well)

Brollyflower · 15/04/2010 22:49

dum dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum, de dum da de dum

Also a bbc news snob who can't stand ITV news. And they have John Sergeant.

BeenBeta · 15/04/2010 22:48

Thought the apparent 'agreeing' with LibDem position that GB was doing a lot was an interesting tactic suggesting a future alliance or pact in a hung Parliament. Might backfire though.

"Vote LibDem and get Gordon" is an obvious Tory slogan.

Sky now reporting NC won the debate in their instant poll with GB slightly edging DC into last place.

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 22:48

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 22:47

didn't think that there was a correct spelling for blaah? but thanks for clarifying

monkeysavingexpertdotcom · 15/04/2010 22:46

Sorry - BlaBlah.

monkeysavingexpertdotcom · 15/04/2010 22:45

They said he won, Blah Blah, because they are Tory papers. Simples.

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 22:45

Maybe DC is getting carried away; MN is great but is perhaps not representative of the country. He needs to get back to his hoodie-roots and start saying phrases like "Yo Daive"

TDiddy · 15/04/2010 22:42

Clegg should go on Britain's got talent, Facebook and Twitter...would propel him to the top Obama style

Think I am wasted on my current job. Feel like I should be managing Clegg's rise. Would be nice to be looking after a babe-magnet of a politician like him

bluecardi · 15/04/2010 22:42

dc & his two mothercare references, gb with a double dip recession & a proportional representation listed system - what? Made NC seem very clear indeed.
