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

Me!!!

DC's NHS spiel about cancer - anything else you know about?

Winter bed crisis per 20 years ago is a thing of the past. NHS direct is also a win. I think Labour gets a tick there.

DC patronising and looks like he'll melt in a minute
NC doing well over all I think
GB better than I expected

yes monkey they age so quickly once in power.

can't keep up with this thread.

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

We don't threaten to lob our nukes at certain countries just for existing. That is why certain other countries are not allowed nukes.

Sky?! How will I watch then ?

That was cheap of DC using the deaths of two men for that tawdry point.

I think if everyone who said " I wish the LIb DEMS could get in" actually did vote LIB DEM they probably would get in.

Thanks zisforzebra I wonder who will chair the BBC one, Dimbleby or Paxman?

not you MsDav!

I'll be interested to see whether DC changes tack with his "I met someone who..." stories next time...

Nick Clegg seems to live up to the impression i get of Lib Dems for actually being honest, up front, and reasonable. Less like politicians and more like non partisan policy wonks - and therefore much more trustworthy! Gordon Brown is reassuring and confident though and does seem unruffled. I know its irrelevant but David Cameron's face looks airbrushed and I'm finding it really distracting!

I'm feeling more reassured that Lib Dems OR Labour could do a good job. If only the Tories weren't in the mix.

Glad to see the Trident debate aired on National TV, thanks to the Lib Dems.

brollyflower - waiting time improvements are almost entirely down to moving of goalposts iirc. not an actual improvement in real world.

this has turned out very differently from how I imagined

I expected GB to struggle with this format whilst DC came across as Mr Modern DynamicMan

Instead GB looks quite comfortable whilst DC gives the impression of a slightly desperate sixth former whose just been asked to explain why he hasn't handed his homework in on time

And tone down the foundation.

'Cos someone will read this for sure...

Nick and I again!

Blair turned from boyish to wizened in one term, didn't he?

Sky??? It should have been on channel 4 with Jon Snow!

Would you let any of them shag you?

I wouldn't. Not even Clegg.

(Sorry to lower the tone but DH has been away for 3.5 weeks. )

David Dimbleby hopefully. I love him. I don't know why they decided on sky rather than channel four which would have been a more obvious choice.

Good for GB for not mentioning his children when discussing the NHS.
DC is smarmy and patronising towards NHS workers.

You must be watching another programme, Kafka. Is it Outnumbered ?

lol muminlondon, am definitely not a Dave!

cameron's on stage notes

They shoulda had Jeremy Kyle chairing this.
