Question TIme

[hunkermunker]

Does anyone believe a word Michael Howard says?

Or Tony Bliar for that matter?

I don't hate or mistrust Tony.
In fact I like him a lot.
He is clearly the only one of the three with the nous to run the country.
Why the hell should he know that a bunch of gps are misinterpreting NHS targets?
What a bunch of rude people in the audience who had clearly already made up their minds anyway.
A disappointing show only because the audience was so useless - no question provoked or tested any of them really.
David Dimbleby is fab too.

he looks worn out and was cruising it I thought. Didn't see the other two so couldn't compare. I thought it only really came alive when they were talking about grants.

I missed that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what did he do????????????

I thought Kennedy gave a good performance. I get frustrated at the fact that people won't vote outside of Labour or conservative.... both parties need to be on the benches (sidelines) for a while.... to refresh themselves me thinks!

Out of interest - lots of letting off steam on this thread about TB and MH... how many of you will vote Lib Dem, or will you still be swayed towards TB & MH?

I'm a self confessed Lib Demmer, and this is only the second time I am able to vote. CK just strikes me as somebody who knows what he's talking about and appears very honest, unlike some others.

And any party that opposes the war with Iraq, especially right from the beginning, has my vote. It's okay MH saying now that Iraq was wrong, his bloody party was in agreement with going to war!

Puddle you're right. Thing is, on the grant front, the Labour policy makes the most sense of all of them IMO.

They just had a bunch of students who wanted more beer money.

I'll vote lib dem this time but in my constituancy it's so blue there are no other colour

JT please tell me what happened

green shirt and MH

I have to vote LibDem because I'm in a constituency that Labour can't win.

But secretly I'm a bit pleased (but don't tell DH).

Talk about a cult of personality!
It's not just the leader we vote for rather the politics of the party they represent no?

I'm voting labour. For their domestic policies rather than foreign obviously. I

Round here is also BLUE BLUE

jt what happened????????????????????

MP I think he demolished that student! I was comparing him tonight with what his performance during the when he did the 'masochism'tour of the tv studios re: Iraq. I watched a couple of 'Tony meets the people' debates then. I may not have agreed with him but there was no doubting the passion there - he really believed he was doing the right thing. Haven't seen much of that from him in this campaign.

kanga - he was an asylum seeker and was giving MH grief - called him some quite nasty names - shouting and bawling - (Dimblebum was having trouble controlling him) - as did a caller on Jeremy Vine today 'you of all people as a Jew ..... using your grandmothers death in the camps ......' - no need imho

btw the same guy was shouting out at the end - didn't you see him?

The thing is that it's easy for the Lib Dems to be the most honest because they know they aren't going to be elected in.

mp doesn't seem right really - you're in a seat that Labour can't win - I'm in a Tory/Lib Dem marginal!

Oh yes did see that

I thought you meant someone got up to try to hit MH

I think he would have done given the chance!

I haven't seen this tonight but I do respect Blair's willingness to be shredded by the voters, in front of cameras. He comes across, to me anyway, as someone who really believes that what he is doing is right and the best for the country.

MH is slime and the Lib Dems are a poor alternative.

Thanks JT

Well that's because no one wants to vote for them as the usually only vote for the other 2. My own neighbour will vote labour though he thinks lib dem are better because they have no chance ! I am sure he is not alone, actually I know he is not alone.

I was impressed by Charles Kennedy and I will vote Lib Dem, always have done beacuse I agree with their policies virtually totally. It's very unlikely they will get in in my constituency but if you don't vote according to your beliefs why bother voting at all. What is the point in voting for someone just because you think they're most likely to get in?

I thought the student was fab. I got free education and the thought of my boys leaving college £20K in debt makes my blood run cold. But paying an extra 2% on income tax over a certain amount probably would make very little differec to my way of life but could pay for the higher education I received in the 1980's. And yes I would pay it now.

HappyDaddy, yes I believe Blair is genuine and believes what he says. But i don't agree with him. Maggie Thatcher was a conviction politician too.
