Who is watching the political leaders' debate on TV tonight?

[AWholeLottaNosy]

Don't know if there's already a thread about it. It's at 8 on ITV. Will watch it but think it'll just be a lot of squabbling and point scoring tbh...

Fun to watch it with you lot tho!

I think

Leanne
Dave
Nicola
Ed
Nige
Nick
Natalie

Greens did terribly - Caroline Lucas had so much personality

The only thing I agree with NIcola on is an independent Scotland

TBF watching that SNP HQ must have been praising the be-tartaned gogs that wee Alec wasn't on that dais.

Farage may have previously had new supporters but the HIV comment would have done him no favours, nasty, racist man.

This will have done the Greens no favours.

Cameron was passionless, heartless and stagey

Milliband was a cringefest of awful body language

Nothing to say about Clegg.

Nichola for me, but as I am in England I will have to stick with Labour for some attempt at a progressive set of policies. They do have some great policies, they just haven't always communicated them as well as they might.

Sadly farage probably has the kind of supporters who think you can contract Hiv from a loo seat

So much better watching it here!!
Nicola and Leanne stole it IMO, if I had to go for one of the usual crew then Ed just about came third. I'm embarrassed for the Greens.

Cotton Farage disgusted me already but that was a new low even for him.

Strange pollsters on sky saying Leanne Wood was poor
I thought she did well

I mean, we're all biased to our own political view, but...

I think Dave must be regretting agreeing to debate with five party leaders who think he's a dangerously right-wing twat, and one who thinks he's a dangerously left-wing Europhile twat.

He should have stuck with the three-way with one bloke who basically agrees with him, and another who wants to beat him to death with a rolled up Health And Social Care Act, after five painful years handcuffed together.

Yes Helena - that was way too far and made me sick. Who made him God?

Oooh, the Spin Room live on BBC 10 o clock News

Agreed that Greens did terribly.

All the answers were on another planet. Even Farage had to pull it back to the question at one point.

I only went to university due to free tuition fees, so I obviously agree with that. I also like having free prescriptions. Would be good if the rest of the UK was the same. I like being part of the UK, but struggling to find a UK party to vote for.

Would be so good if CJ popped up to comment.

He's clearly enjoyed the hospitality!

Can't believe paddy is still supporting Clegg, the.biggest trator to.lib history

It's a bit like X factor etc. difficult to separate personality and policy / talent in the case of X factor!

I think in terms of performance not policy

Leanne
Nicola
David
Nick
Natalie
Nigel
Ed

Which is not what I think of policies. I wish David Milliband had been there!

Ah, cottonbuds, NF got the phrase 'other people are scared to say this but...' in enough times to placate his supporters.
Sadly, no-one came back with "other people don't say that because you just made it up " maybe next time

I'm totally appalled by John Pienaar's round up on BBC - he managed to completely avoid mentioning any of the female leaders. There's that old boys network showing it's colours again.

Therealmary, that's interesting you have no view on clegg. At the end of the summaries dh and I were convinced they had missed him out. Not memorable at all.

Paddy Pantsdown is looking old on the news follow-up

Josh doesn't do Spin, for that you need CJ, Sam, Toby and Ainslee on Capital Beat.
