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

Aitch -i was thinking that too. You have a 1 yr old, say at his birth fgs.

Brollyflower · 29/04/2010 13:47

OK vital q following my balls up last week . What time does it start?

AitchTwoZone · 29/04/2010 13:30

when dod you last cry. and i'm thinking THE KIDS SAY THE KIDS but he wibbled on about music instead, then wouldn't say which piece made him cry just that 'if i had to name all the pieces of music i cry at, eddie, we'd be here all day'. lolol. wuss.

I caught the R4 interview y'day. I found it rather embarrassing.......his answers were truly awful to some of the q's.

johnworf · 29/04/2010 13:26

LOL @ Aitch.

Shall be watching here tonight with mucho interest as for me, it's the crucial debate re the economy - given that we're skint as a nation.

I wonder if Brown's face will crack with all the fixed smiling?

Btw, watching only out of interest as I know who I shall be voting for on the day.

My party will not be represented in the debate. I have already postal voted. Waste of time to watch.

AitchTwoZone · 29/04/2010 12:29

i guess he thought that had been covered A Lot on the show, tbh. it was an interesting exercise, actually, bit like that scene in trainspotting when spud says 'ahm a bit oh ey PERFECTSHUNIST'.

PinkFuschia · 29/04/2010 12:27

Didn't hear the Eddie Mair interview but I've heard about it from friends. Bloody stupid questions though. The economy is going tits up; we are at war in Afghanistan, and all Mair wants to know is when was the last time NC cried. FFS.

RiverOfSleep · 29/04/2010 12:13

I've had a postal vote so I've done mine already. Hoping no one says anything that will make me change my mind tonight because its too late!!

"Just imagining Nick Clegg frantically voting for himself on mumsnet in back of car"

haha. And Sue will be frantically voting for Gordon to try and save her job

OhYouBadBadKitten · 29/04/2010 11:39

Ignoring sceptics (I expect the results reflect the demographics of mn, which may or may not represent the rest of society)

Bookmarking for later am looking forward to a good debate. (if I can stay awake)

littlemoominmamma · 29/04/2010 11:35

Or names?????

littlemoominmamma · 29/04/2010 11:34

Weird how wildly different this poll is to all the others?

Are polls on chatrooms any easier to rig than the normal ones? Do they have any rules or guidelines?

Just imagining Nick Clegg frantically voting for himself on mumsnet in back of car

Wonder what his name is?

Cartoose · 29/04/2010 11:32

I missed that interview but questions such as "what are you bad at" are like standard job interview questions. If he can't get those answers right ... one wonders.

AitchTwoZone · 29/04/2010 11:22

cartoose he was really cringey. and i say this as a fan.

Cartoose · 29/04/2010 11:21

Clegg's only just finding his feet really.

Cartoose · 29/04/2010 11:19

I'll be watching. I'm strangely excited about it. I wish they'd allow the audience to clap, groan or whatever's appropriate though. Especially as this is the last one.

Sky's debate was way more showbizzy than ITV's wasn't it?

AitchTwoZone · 29/04/2010 10:50

i went off nick clegg during the eddie mair interview last night. i was listening and thinking 'oh no this guy's a nobbo, i do hope he turns out to be dave cameron'. but no, it was cleggy. flailed in the face of smash hits questions such as 'what are you bad at?' and 'when did you last cry?'

if he'd been asked what colour his underpants are i doubt he'd have known the answer.

So who's watching tonight? Wonder how it'll compare to ITV and SKY's efforts.

Hmm - just confirms to me how 'lib-demmy' Mumsnet really is (compared to RL)...

Explains a lot about what happens on various threads etc really....
