[Closed] general election debate

A degree only helps getting a job if it is a useful subject, not the case for 80% of degrees

SPG?

That lady audience clam down dear you are on telly. 😀

As an aside - the females are wiping the floor with the males in this debate.

I think Farage has this wrapped up.
Milliband is as unconvincing as Clegg.

Cameron struggling.

And Sturgeon "none of us can afford more austerity"!! Oh dear!!

Only just got in so starting on recording. Nats was awful and Farrage straight into uncontrolled immigration and then a wet Cleggy start. Can I stay up to 23:45 to watch this???

Oh god sturgeon has the DOs mannerisms and LTEP in Dave's first sentance.

Clegg lost all credibility when he demonstrated he didn't understand the source of the global financial crisis.

You coudn't be more wrong.

Yes they are doing a lot better.

I wouldn't bother. Cleggs wants rid of the National debt 🙄

Impressed with Wood - sounds much more natural, no histrionics. Cameron, Miliband, Clegg just sound like pointless nerds 🙁

Cameron makes sense and Farage direct to the point.

The rest are in fairytale land ...

The Greens think that the pandas and rhinos will pay our student loans?

If there's any justice, that aussie woman would not get any votes at all. Boring, single policy claptrap.

I think she is Kiwi? Yes? Because that's how my mate sounds ...

Bllx, drinks all round in the opening statements, I will be oissed in less than an hour.

Whole family wetting themselves with Ed trying to look natural.

It's simple. The recession was caused by too much personal debt. Whereas this recovery is far more sustainable and has been driven by... Oh, hang on. Personal debt.

The women wiped floor with the men.

Farage committed political suicide.
Cameron did his best to hide.
Miliband spent too much looking into the camera.

Very interesting.

SNP, Greens and Plaid are irrelevant. Farage is a smug, bigoted prick who thinks everything can be blamed on immigrants. Miliband lacks sincerity, especially with his damn hand waving antics. Clegg looks at ease but doesn't have a clue. Cameron is struggling and looks scared (but to be fair, he realised that this would be a farce at the start and never wanted to be there) but he's the only one can actually support his proposals with facts based on performance over the last 5 years.

No one comes out of this looking good but Cameron looks less bad than the rest.

Unfortunate then that she represents the only real alternative to the neoliberal master plan.

the only real alternative to the neoliberal master plan.

They had a lot less to lose.

Nicola Sturgeon won that then.

The Oscar goes to ... (drum roll)

In order of winners.

1. Cameron - for being calmed and composed.
2. Farage - for being direct to the point.
3. Sturgeon - for being able to put others in their position.
4. Wood - for speaking nicely and clearly.
5. Milliband - for being ambitious.
6. Clegg - for his supporting role.
7. Bennet - for being there.

Hang on. Cameron made this a 'farce' if you think that's what it is by insisting on the world and his wife being there

Wanmankylung.....apart from her glaring lack of knowledge of the economy....

[i]No one comes out of this looking good but Cameron looks less bad than the rest.[/i]

that's hardly a resounding vote for the tories...

So in summary everyone thinks the person they already liked has won?

.....apart from her glaring lack of knowledge of the economy....

Hmm - were you watching the same debate that I was? The economy wasnt dealt with in great depth by anyone.

So in summary everyone thinks the person they already liked has won?

Nail/head.

No. Not me.

Cameron is good there as he is more polished. Good PR team I guess ... wonder how much the PR team get paid ... hhmmm ...

I'm guessing that the meeja will call it for Farage

Managed to stay awake ... only just.

It would have been better if Natts still had a cold.

Nail/head.

And they still hate the ones they hated before hand

TBH i found them all equally annoying as you could say their answers for them to any question

Johnny, Johnny......who the @@@@ is little Johnny

MRS THM, I can see why Cameron didn't want to do this.

Niggle really is on a mission to niggle nicola

Impressed with Nicola, Natalie's accent grated on me and unsure about Leanne's policies.

The men were just a pita.

that's hardly a resounding vote for the tories...

Very true. Best of a bad bunch I'm afraid.

The biggest worry is that some of the intellectual giants that have posted their wan insights on this thread might actually be eligible to vote..

If the STW microcosm is reflective of society as a whole then we're all going to hell in a bucket

And they still hate the ones they hated before hand

Absolutely, Junky, absolutely.

That's fair because everyone is in hell. 😆

The women came across a lot more sincerely than themen

But its degrees of ****erishness for the lot of em

[i][s]Best[/s] just another one of a bad bunch I'm afraid.[/i]

Haven't been elected by majority since 1992, the deadest of ducks.

Do you mean, "Some people might vote in a way that I don't agree with"? Or, do you mean that "Anyone who votes in a way I don't agree with shouldn't be allowed to vote"?

Hang on. Cameron made this a 'farce' if you think that's what it is by insisting on the world and his wife being there

He enhanced the farce but it was always going to be a farce. TV debates are only good for sound bite politics.
