Third Leader's Debate - BBC 29th April

In anticipation of tomorrow's TV debate, MN will be launching a fifth poll of Mumsnetter voting intentions as soon as the debate finishes. Can Cameron regain the ground he's lost? Will Clegg continue to build on his success following the first and second debates? We'll have to wait and see - but in the meantime, we've put together a handy table showing how your voting intentions and attitudes towards the party leaders have changed over the past four polls

So if the recession is worldwide (which it is), then why don't other countries have debt mountains like we do?

And yes, the Tories messed up royally in the last recession and I have no reason to believe they'd do any better this time.

You see what you want to see with these debates. They will change no one's political leanings...

bumperliouzzzzzz, I couldn't have said it better myself. He is really beginning to pee me off, yes GB they are the same old Tories.

animula - the Daily Mail sells 2 million copies a day, to people who do not like their prejudices about immigrants and dole scroungers being challenged. That's a lot of voters.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 29/04/2010 21:44

Vesela, because our financial services sector was proportionately much larger, and tax revenues from that sector have collapsed.

I hear ya woosam!

It's really pissing me off that these twunts aren't questioning the crap people "on the doorstep" have been regurgitating at them straight from the pages of the sun and the daily hate re: immigration and dole scum. Those aren't the most important issues ffs.

Spidermama · 29/04/2010 21:43

OMG Clegg's simply running out of steam.

Instant polls are all rubbish. Channel4 full of loony lefties and Times full of right wing nutters.

Mumsnet is the only place for unbiased political commentary don't ya know?

Bumperliouzzzzzz · 29/04/2010 21:42

Vote for DC if you 'do the right thing'

Marry the right person, don't ever split up
Don't lose your job or have your business go under
Don't be born into a poor and uneducated family
Afford to go to university and get a good job

woosam · 29/04/2010 21:42

Please......please say that not everyone is scamming. One of you. Please?

CUNextTuesday · 29/04/2010 21:42

fancy seeing you here!

wubblybubbly · 29/04/2010 21:42

vesela, FGS, the recession is worldwide. This Government's policies have at least tried to help ordinary people through the roughest times, unlike the last recession under the tories, where 'high unemployment was a price worth paying for a healthy economy', where those same people losing their jobs were supposed to meet spiralling mortgage costs as interest rates hit 15% and the tories did NOWT to help people stay in their homes.

I wouldn't have dreamt of voting for Labour after Blair, but what Brown has done for ordinary people through this recession has swung it for me.

Charlie brooker: 'no life on the dole. Kill the unemployed'

vesela · 29/04/2010 21:41

MsDav - why is our deficit so much bigger than others then? You can't go on blaming it on the global recession. That's Gordon Brown's trick - blame it on something else.

MmeLindt · 29/04/2010 21:41

animula
No, I am finding it all a bit populist (almost DMesque)

jackstarbright · 29/04/2010 21:41
