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

fancy seeing you here!

vesela, FGS, the recession is worldwide. This Government's policies have at least tried to help ordinary people through the roughest times, unlike the last recession under the tories, where 'high unemployment was a price worth paying for a healthy economy', where those same people losing their jobs were supposed to meet spiralling mortgage costs as interest rates hit 15% and the tories did NOWT to help people stay in their homes.

I wouldn't have dreamt of voting for Labour after Blair, but what Brown has done for ordinary people through this recession has swung it for me.

Please......please say that not everyone is scamming. One of you. Please?

Vote for DC if you 'do the right thing'

Marry the right person, don't ever split up
Don't lose your job or have your business go under
Don't be born into a poor and uneducated family
Afford to go to university and get a good job

Instant polls are all rubbish. Channel4 full of loony lefties and Times full of right wing nutters.

Mumsnet is the only place for unbiased political commentary don't ya know?

OMG Clegg's simply running out of steam.

I hear ya woosam!

It's really pissing me off that these twunts aren't questioning the crap people "on the doorstep" have been regurgitating at them straight from the pages of the sun and the daily hate re: immigration and dole scum. Those aren't the most important issues ffs.

Vesela, because our financial services sector was proportionately much larger, and tax revenues from that sector have collapsed.

animula - the Daily Mail sells 2 million copies a day, to people who do not like their prejudices about immigrants and dole scroungers being challenged. That's a lot of voters.

bumperliouzzzzzz, I couldn't have said it better myself. He is really beginning to pee me off, yes GB they are the same old Tories.

lol @ "same old tories" for the 98738758th time

DC

Yo, CUNty! So what do think of the housing question?!

go on ask them an education/schools question...

You see what you want to see with these debates. They will change no one's political leanings...

So if the recession is worldwide (which it is), then why don't other countries have debt mountains like we do?

And yes, the Tories messed up royally in the last recession and I have no reason to believe they'd do any better this time.

Why couldn't Clegg add onto the end of his incapacity speech that he is aware that not everyone has the option to get up and start working?

Yes there was a global recession BUT Labour failed spectacularly to "save for a rainy day". It is a basic principal of economics that you save in the good times so that you can continue to spend in the bad times.

Also waves at Aries cooee Missus! Fancy seeing you here!

I think that training is good.

Have a look at the German apprentice system. We need something like that in UK.

AHA!
A forum to ponder the possibility that David Cameron was once a big green engine running around the tracks of Sodor, carrying out the wishes of the fat controller

the other two are making him look small by just ignoring him and attacking each other. Even when he makes a comment or asks a question they direct their responses at each other instead of him
