Seems reasonable to me!

I quite like the Independents take on why they shouldn't be allowed though.

So 'you agree with Nick', isn't that what Brown kept saying at the last leadership debates? lol

How can a Conservative, (especially those who had the 'Bullingdon" brains to work out how to get the UK out of the Labour mess, the Labour Party including with an ex ships bar steward and postman couldn't do), be scared of the POLICIES of UKIP if they are still found wanting, from the 2010 General Election?

Maybe it isn't a 'fair fight' as U-kippers don't seem to care about policies

'How can a Conservative ... be scared of the POLICIES of UKIP?"

Because UKIP policies are common sense and the hole at the heart of Conservative policies, drafted by teenage think tank whizzes, will become glaringly obvious under the scrutiny of Farage's Occam Razor-like interrogation in a TV debate.

They say that Cameron is just a Bullingdonian Tim Dim But Nice, but give Cameron credit, he is smart enough to be petrified of Farage and the People's Army.

Cameron didn't debate Salmond and the referendum went to the wire.

Is it any wonder that Cameron won't debate Farage?

Their are cries of "chicken" and "running scared" as well as "frit" from too many respected political commentators to mention. There is talk of Cameron taking the hit now rather than being frit against Farage and taking a pounding from the People's Army in a live TV debate just weeks before the general election.

I don't blame Cameron. If I were him, i would be going around shouting "for Gawd's sake, can we please cut the green crap?" and "we're doomed, I tell you, we're doomed".

He has probably been told "Don't panic, Mr Camwairing, don't panic, take the hit now rather than the certain pounding from Farage in the future".

Isitmebut-

Your idea that Cameron won't debate because non of the other parties have policies worth debating is beyond pathetic.

It is not up to Cameron to decide who has policies worthy of debate. The public know this, and will treat Cameron with the contempt which he deserves.

blacksunday ... this is now on the 5th page, I think you'll find there is far more to my opinion on the subject and other parties than that.

I suggest you read all my opinions here before you call them 'pathetic', as I at least waiting for your misinformation on the 'Miliband cost of living' thread (blaming 35-years of the Conservatives for Labour's last 13-years of incompetence) before labeling yours as such.

Cameron always said he wanted them out of the way weeks before the election, so what is with the last one several days before the election breaking up the campaign - so he has agreed to one, Miliband who has been practicing for it with former chief 'spinner' Alastair Campbell for months now, still gets to use his misinformation soundbites, so whassup?
