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

DC, labour don't have stamp duty on first 250,000.

Yeah build them, but can't afford to buy them!

DH wants to know if DC will be allowing affordable housing to be built on his estate...

Bumper, he already said it

Like the Q. The answer is that house prices need to fall, which means more economic bad news first. Doubt any of them will say that!

Times instant poll: Cameron 53% Clegg 34% Brown 13%

Eh? really Times readers????

Lenin
I think that GB is doing well. NC is sadly out of his depth, coming across like a sweet, idealistic politics students.

LG, not sure, I find NC's apparent suffering with scarlet fever somewhat distracting.

Plenty of UK residents go to live elsewhere..

Is David actually convincing anyone who wasn't previously voting Tory?

FFS - why would anyone want to go and live on a boarded up estate or city centre flat??? Or should i say, feel forced into doing so.

Oh I can't watch it. Oh I can't vote. Go Gordooooooooooon.

Times: No way DC is shit.

MsDav - really? are they watching the same debate?

yes agreed, break it down for the thickies:

illegal immigrants are here, their existence feeds criminality of the most pernicious kind (gangs), you CAN'T deport them because YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY LIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE UNDERGROUND.

the ONLY solution to this problem is to offer a ONE OFF amnesty.

that way your illegal immigrant who has been here for 10 years starts to pay tax PLUS they have to do community service (so it's not a free handshake in any way).

if you do NOTHING (GB and DC propose this), you are simply ignoring a problem that will not go away.

There are a lot of flats (or apartments as they are advertised) around us, rather than houses

But nice top

I can't see me ever being able to afford a house where I live. Way to expensive. I wouldn't mind as much if you could get a good long term rental contract but 6 months is as long as you get which is rubbish.

So true about NC, no way is this a 3 way race

Is it unfashionable to ask why we have to own our homes?
Does it make you a better person to have a mortgage?

Wasnt that the mind set that caused the global financial collapse?

Stamp duty relief over £250k or whatever for first time buyers is bollocks. How many first time buyers have £250k to spend.

Bigger tax on 2nd homers!

DC is quite negative tonight.
