First one to through the double doors wins

I am sure the leaf will happily pass through the double doors.  Now, the lifts up to the Skybridge in the North Terminal that's another story

[05omegav6]

I don't understand why Cameron is being so awkward about these debates. 

Because they distract the electorate from appreciating the progress that has been made over the last four years by bogging down in petty bickering about shit that isn't relevant.

Better to either just have the election and be done with it or have a BGT stylee system to pick the Face of Government and let the civil service do their thang

[Sir Tigger KC]

I think he's made himself look like a coward and insisting that all the small parties take part is just a distraction. 

[05omegav6]

You say that, but if it's supposed to be part of a democratic process why shouldn't they be included?

[Varche]

Personally I think that "old style campaigning e.g. knocking on doors, newspaper ads " are outdated. Rightly or wrongly the public want TV debates. In my view these could and should be an agreed format in law. e.g. all 7 parties, then a poll and the top four, then a poll and the top two. Questions should be issues that are on peoples minds. e.g Heath, Education, Defence, Tax, Old people. Before each debate there should be unbiased info programmes showing facts and figures. One thing that the public needs to see is the national debt which has doubled under the Tories.

Cameron was all for a debate before he got in power. Now he realises he has everything to lose and not much to gain from a debate with Milliband lasting an hour. Margaret Thatcher would not have turned it down. Cameron isn't a leader , just a puppet carrying out his masters bidding.

Tonights debate is not a debate but two job interviews.

[Sir Tigger KC]

With a limp disk opponent like Milliband you'd think Cameron would be well up for it!    After all if the Tories want to form a government in their own right, then they have to wipe the floor with Labour. He's bottled it! 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I cant see any justification for the SNP or Plaid Cymru being included in the National TV debates. They only put up candidates in one of the four countries in the U.K.
Particularily when the Northern Irish parties were specifically excluded from the debates.
The national debt is now £1.5 trillion or thereabouts, so I think Cameron / Osbornes claims of having gone a long way to sorting out the mess is a bit rich.
Obviously if the two Ed,s got into power things would be a hell of a lot worse though.
Re Cameron,s promise of an EU referendum - its not the first time he has promised that. 
He is a compulsive liar, even by the standards of Westminster.
I believe Cameron is indeed scared, but it isn't Milliband hes scared of. Hence insisting the one real debate is a seven way debate. Thus ensuring no-one in particular will have much time to say anything at all.

Give the man some privacy, Cameron likes to be away from the limelight as he has his daily mass-debate.

The election is like being forced on a date with one of the four ugliest, most shrivelled, obese, unkempt, smelly, rotten toothed, bad tempered, low life, lying deceitful character sisters. Which one do you choose?

Would never vote Liebour or Fib Dems as I despise mass poverty socialism, UKIP now actively support despot Putin and have voted against sanctions in the EU Parliament, how that squares with Farage calling himself a Libertarian I can't work out, but I won't support a party that supports a fascist, warmongering mass-murderer who is well on the way to having 0.5million deaths on his hands and also has the alleged war criminal (broken Geneva convention over Ukrainian POWs and other alleged war crimes) RT reporter Graham Phillips as a member. My local Conservative MP is very good, but I can't, just can't, vote for him knowing it is supporting the lying toerag Cast-Iron Cameron. In all honesty I will always out of principle vote, use or lose your democracy, so unless there is an independent, I will spoil the ballot paper, by writing 'none of the above' on it.

Someone should stand as the None Of The Above party...

It would encourage a fuller turn out and give the actual parties summat to consider...

That said, they would all say that it shows how crummy all the other parties are

Not impressed with any of them although of the two, Militosser, aka Pit the Younger from Black Adder, I feel is a snide little git and more untrustworthy than any other leader in history.

So I shall just writhe across the ballot paper 'C U Next TuesdayS The Lot Of Them'

[Terbs]

Taped it and just watched it....
Paxman held nothing back....thought, maybe a touch over on the personal bit with Milliband.

The studio audience part was a farce, imo. Stage managed questions, for instance 'what do you think Mr Millibands best qualities are'. What sort of question is that when we want to know how they are going to sort the country, and there was a time limit. Both leaders just stood there and spouted about their own ego's mainly, if that's the right word. Very, very very little audience response.
Imo...a waste of good electricity having the TV on to watch it.
