General Election 2015

Poor old paxman. Sad watching his obtuse, uninformed schtick. Should be put out to pasture gracefully.

I thought Milliband did alright. He'll have my vote if he comes out and straight up calls Paxman a ****.

Don't think he'll be getting your vote.

Christ, this is nearly as bad as Bennett on Radio 4.

Well one thing is certain, he can't do any worse then call me Dave.

Wrong ,

He's having a mare , this is a car crash

Milliband is hopping about like frog on speed, and seems like the snake oil salesman who has been discovered filling his magical bottles with wee.

Why because no sane person, for instance, would put a hard number on the natural limits of the population or immigration? A moronic question lapped up by morons.

Should've gone for the other brother...

Past that first question, he's being destroyed.

If either of them would get up and **** Paxman they'd have my vote. Why the hell is he talking about Salmond.

Not at all

"let me tell you"

"let me explain"

ad nauseum

then tell or explain nothing or very little...... That lad in the audience who put his hand up didn't even get an answer to his question.

Paxman resorting to character assassination! Shame, poor by him.

Milliband coming back into this. Paxman is getting too personal, he needs to stick to the holes in the Labour parties policies.

Thought milliband didn't do too bad.

Paxman has become a parody of himself. He's just embarassing now. No real substance to his questioning, just playing up to the crowd trying to make himself look good.

All the parties have some dire policies. We know it, they know it.

Seeing as it was hosted by two Tories, I'd say he did alright. Dealt with Paxman.

How awful!

i was impressed by milliband today and realize the portrayal of him by the papers as a wally is totally false ,i was not impressed by cameron today even thow he had easier questions,but i,m still likelly to vote conservative has i have a good local mp.but for me miliband won todays debate in my view.

Thought there was no need for paxman to get personal and I thought ed came out of that interview quite well. Having said that he was still trounced on the economy and Europe.

Thought millibarnd didn't do too bad.

Definitely came back into it and showed some fire at the end after some stupid Paxman questioning.

Wrong ,

Farage doesn't think so

Who is it, out of interest?

As a Conservative voter (traditionally), I've refused to vote for my local MP as he's a traditional old school Tory, the type I can't stand (James Arbuthnot). But he's stood down thankfully and the new kid on the block seems like a modern thinker, I have much like (http://www.tellranil.com/)!

When Paxo started on policy , Ed was embarrassingly out of his depth , but when Paxo got personal he came over well.

Terrible night for political punditry , Burly was biased and Paxo totally unprofessional when it came to Ed . Andrew Neil , head and shoulders above Paxo.

Winner tonight Mr N Farage , as they were both poor. First polls showing Dave win .

Nutjob nutshell, who-ever-you-vote-for-the-government-gets-in, or something like that.

Just another one who lies to get votes. Says Labour is going to raise National Insurance even though they haver explicitly ruled it out.

My vote was undecided...... But Milliband is completely unelectable.

Dear me.

Annoying to consistently see Cameron take credit for Liberal pushed polcies with the 10k tax allowance, raising the minimum wage and the triple lock on pensions. (and various others)

I'm sure that Cleggy will be doing exactly the same in the next debate.

Clegg has never taken credit for conservative policies. He'll big up his own parties policies which have been delivered in government of which there are plenty. And then also will talk of the curb they have been on tory excess. Without Liberals in government, they'd be no Human Rights Act, a snoopers charter and a regressive draconian ban on 'extremist' (as defined by who?!) speakers on university campuses.

Yep. All coalition successes are from the liberal side and all the bad bits are from the Tories. Spoken like a truly biased politician.

Dear oh dear . Lib/dumb minister resigns within a few days of government for fiddling expenses, lib/dumb minister jailed , lib/dumb treasury touching up chicks and now met police called in regarding lib/dumb party donations . Oh, and lib/dumbs down to 7% and only 1 MEP left , yet Andy thinks they've done well . Lol

That's not what I said at all. But the majority of the most popular and successful ideas like free school meals, pupil premium and the 10k tax allowance are all Lib Dem ideas and policies.

So they'll get rewarded at the election them . Lol

Exactly. The British public are smarter than that...

I'm with you. Whether our UKIP supporting idiot Lordship likes it or not, this is true. The LDs will get hammered on polling day because they were involved in coalition regardless of what they've actually done. In time history will judge them quite kindly for those policies you mention which were their initiatives after all.

Its taken you five years to work that out....?

I'm not so sure. I've read this thread.

Didn't realise he was such a toughie. Hell yes

Didn't watch but guessing Ed contribution went something like

mumble mumble cost of living crisis mumble mumble out of their depth mumble mumble bedroom tax mumble mumble

Are free school meals popular? One of those stupid things like the baby bonds in my opinion. Of course everyone wants something for free but ultimately it is subsidising many that don't need the subsidy.

And 10k tax allowance isn't a lib dem thing.

Because reducing taxes isn't a core Tory belief?

As per the last debates, it was obvious to me that Ed ,like Brown have been trained to walk from the podium and use their arms and body language to try and convince the audience.

Frankly the people who watch the debates are not likely to change their view, the election is about the voters in the marginals

Because reducing taxes isn't a core Tory belief?

Raising the tax free band to £10k was a LD policy whether you like it or not. Just a fact.

Just seen Milliband trying to look hard, lol. Hold a hard stare with your eyes opened fully. Surely people won't fall for it ?

My vote was undecided...... But Milliband is completely unelectable.

 

Dear me.

Bring back David!

Interesting alternative poll

Raising the tax free band to £10k was a LD policy whether you like it or not. Just a fact.

And to £10,600?

Oh, I do apologise. I didn't realise you were talking about that completely different and unique policy. FFS.

The point is that although it was a Lib Dem policy, who's to say the Tories weren't going to do it later In the government, considering they are happy doing it now and in the next government...

It is a core principle of the Tory party and was likely to have been done anyway.

Either way, no need to get so angry about it. It's a nice sunny day, cheer up!
