LibDems holding balance of power 'would lock Murdoch out of UK politics'

If you need another reason to hope for a hung parliament

I'm actually starting to get a little excited about this election. We've had a lib dem MP for over 10 years but are apparently still a key marginal.

I didn't hear anything of what DC said today but heard a bit of GBs press conference, they were going a bit negative on Clegg. Is that really the best strategy. I heard that DC had been warned not to go negative on him.

Is the next debate on Radio 4 too?

Hello bumper (how's the bump?) I'm sure it will be on the radio somewhere

I think Brown and Cameron are trying not to be too negative, while licensing their underlings to rip Clegg's throat out

Hi policywonk, the bump is ever expanding, and just starting to get to that weird stage where it moves around and you feel like you have an alien inside you. Thanks for asking though

Ah good. R4 is covering the debate again - heard a trailer this morning and thought of you!

Wonder if the whole thing will be a massive let-down (debate not baby)

LOL!

Cleggy is going to be under an awful lot of pressure to perform again. Probably part of the reason he did so well 1st time was because there were no expectations. Makes me think of that West Wing espisode where Leo Mcgarry leaks that he is going to do really crap in the debates but surprises every one, or something like that. If only politics was really like the West Wing

I don't have sky so will have to listen on R4, but maybe that will make me actually judge on what they say rather than shallowly comment on their sweat and suit choice
