who's gonna watch the leaders TV debate tonight then?

[mrsbaldwin]

Me!!!

Fatti yes they do but for me for example it's a 2 horse race between the Cons and the Lib Dems. Labour don't stand a chance. I would really like to vote for the PM real time.

DC: Prise & thank the nhs rather OTT

choice & control -who is he? Blair?

I do think DC looks uncomfy

I freely admit am no DN fan but generally I watch him and think I can see why people do lilke him if they ahve different politrics to me- tonight I do not

Whereas GB cominmg over as the thinker, and NC as a real coontender

Interesting

DC said absolutely nothing concrete about Tory plans for the NHS. So slippery.

APassionateWoman - I am intrigued by the women that each leader turns on.

Yea NC mentioned maternity. Now say something meaningful

1 year old -tick

Burnley - Check

Nick: I am also rather fertile.

Son born on NHS ward - Clegg tick
Burnley Clegg tick

NC also mentioned his son.

babies again from NC -

'shaking babies and kissing hands'..

or something like that?

Spidermama - agree with you on the silly nuclear arguement "we can have them but no one else is allowed to".

How comes Alex Salmon doesn't get a look in?

Doesn't he look like he's trying really really hard, Humphrey? Do you really think he's speaking with conviction and from the heart, rather than from a script?

Got to give him that - waiting lists have decreased big time.

I think they should have allowed applause from the audience and had a clap-o-meter in the middle of the screen. It's a bit weird and dry with the audience sitting so quietly.

Gah not a homebirth then for NC

we have really good hospital and maternity in brighton so cant complain, is it really bad elsewhere?

ITV Poll on who's on top Clegg ( 46% ) Brown ( 34% ) Cameron ( 20% )

It's only 18 weeks for the 1st appointment Gordon, you try getting a 2nd appointment...

Soz but GB has lost this one, 'quiet fatherly voice' ooh my toes are still curling over that comment

I will be interested to see what dh thinks - he is a lifelong conservative (please note the small c) but is thinking of voting Lib Dem this time. Also, we are in an incredibly marginal seat here (163 Lab majority) but have a v good incumbent MP. Hmmmm.... interesting.

Having said that, it's all very well them being on my telly, but no one has knocked on my door yet.

well I have started drinking - no mention of my bloody town !! And it was too hard to sit through this straight ...

Anyone else finding it quite nauseating the way GB is sucking up to NC - quite clearly manouevering himslelf towards getting the LD's backing in a hung parliament

NC is the only one who is really coming across with any credibility ....

GB wins hands down on waiting times. I do worry what effect the others may have on those.
