I'm 10 minutes into the leaders' debate and

I think they are all a bunch of smarmy knobs?

Oh and julie etchingham is clearly struggling

Nicola sturgeon is coming across very well. Im glad i voted snp

40%of carers are going to lose their carers allowance under the next Tory government
I'll be one of them
I've already had to give up my almost full time job to care, for a very severely disabled child
I work 24/7 providing the kind of care that would costs them thousands a week
We claim carers allowance and dla, that's it
But we're not hardworking? Or I'm not, at least?
Their opinion is foul imo
If they cut the very small financial support we get (which isn't enough) we will be forced towards residential care which will cost the taxpayer in excess of six figures a year.
I doubt we are an isolated case

Sadly I think Nigel is coming across strong as is the scottish lady all the others espically the Welsh lady is very poor indeed

I'm wondering if Clegg has been asleep for the last 5 years, as he seems to be denying all knowledge of what's been going on and taking none of the blame.

DC mentioned his son.....knew he would

disgusting

Take the stress off people?!?!

The women are winning! All three are speaking with passion, intellect and knowledge. Farage, Cameron and Clegg are trotting out tired sound bites. Although Nick is engaging- this platform suits him.

Nick has just slithered out of Cameron's arse where he has been foe the past 5 years.

I hate when he uses his son for politics. I mean, I guess he has the right, but he's so smarmy about it!

I can't believe they are clapping Farrage

Nicola Sturgeon is excellent

Nicola is giving Nick a kicking.

who are you to say when somone can and can't mention their dead child God i can't imagin that veer happening to me and any bereft parent in my view gets a pass to talk about their child when ever they want

I don't think DC can win when it comes to his son. We say we want our politicians to speak from the heart and be more "human." But he gets criticised for mentioning something that must have had a huge personal impact on him. I don't think even he would be cynical enough to use his son for political gain.

I thought they clapped Julie and her put down of Nigel's racism?

Just realised who Ed Milliband reminds me of...

The Welsh ladie is very very poor she is not challenging ed at all the recored on the nhs in Wales is not good the green lady is trying bless

99 he mentions him every bloody time its coming across as using his memory for his political gain

Except when they are using that child to defend their political policies in a televised debate, not honouring the child's memory...

Es the duck anyone lol

Nick Clegg is good at this kind of set up and he's presenting well. Sadly that doesn't translate to government.

Miliband... is letting people talk over him which isn't doing his image any favours, and this speaking direct to the camera thing - yes, very creepy. Off putting. It feels like a party political broadcast rather than engaging in discussion the way the others are.

why does Nick say "well look" at the start of every answer??

why the like for Nicola Sturgeon? She doesn't even (and won't) have a Westminster seat and all she cares about is Scotland - how can they justify free prescriptions for everyone in Scotland? No tuition fees for Scottish students? Does she want to replicate that for the rest of us - doubt it!

I still like cleggy. He is a likeable guy, he had trouble getting anywhere being the minority party in the coalition. I'm voting lib dem or SNP...ooh immigration after the break let's see Nigel get crazy!
