Third Leader's Debate - BBC 29th April

[CatherineHMumsnet]

In anticipation of tomorrow's TV debate, MN will be launching a fifth poll of Mumsnetter voting intentions as soon as the debate finishes. Can Cameron regain the ground he's lost? Will Clegg continue to build on his success following the first and second debates? We'll have to wait and see - but in the meantime, we've put together a handy table showing how your voting intentions and attitudes towards the party leaders have changed over the past four polls

Yes agree, Mimi, wonder if labour & LD have to start to fight together bit more to stop Tories getting in because of split vote?

I fear a Tory government, I really do.

Ah, I see. It was all a cunning business plan by GB. I feel reassured already...

oh I can't concentrate on the politics - I'm just wondering where it is you all work now! MI6? GCHQ? The AA??

I think NC is sinking a bit here. Pity.

why is nc out of his depth and dc and gb know what they are talking about? who the f got us into the mess we're in. regulation to the extent that the libdems are suggesting may be unpalatable to free market capitalists but the market has failed and will fail again if drastic measures are not taken.

Nope, NC has no clue. Totally out of his depth here

Small business come to your surgery, David?

GB is the only one who knows what he's talking about. NC is out of his depth.

Why does it only seem to be DC who is looking into the camera? looks like a party political broadcast not a debate.

Definitely not Dolly, I think I know where you are referring to. I work at a BIG place other side of town (clue - best I can do!)

GB is desperately trying to pretend he isnt an angry man tonight!

£50k sounds like a lot, but it depends on where you live. If you work in London then that will not go far.

"I agree Jean" says NC. eyeroll!

NC is just repeating DC

aahh (taps side of nose knowlingly) I know where you work

Nah Winston - Millies Cookies for me

NC is agreeing with all of them.

Bumper - another clue? I'm with winston on this.

But he looks like he's seething under there (GB)

I wish I believed a word GB said when he says what he is going to do.

Not sure I like the thought of the Bank of England regulating banks again. I used to know someone at the BofE whose job it was to monitor BCCI and we all remember what happened to that bank.

woosam, ideologically, I agree re. child benefit. I haven't put enough thought into that one though.
I was disgusted when they cut vat, pissed £12bn up the wall right there. Even buying a relatively expensive £1000 item, £20 reduction is not going to matter to consumers but cumulative effect on govt finances was significant.
