Worse than Baldwin or MacDonald ?

Well I'm doing my bit - I've just been made redundant !

More UKIP dirty tricks ; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-32234567 "A UKIP parliamentary candidate is to be questioned over allegations he tried to influence voters by giving away sausage rolls at a party event"

This applies to just about anything spouted by a politician during an election campaign, it's not restricted to any particular party.

The quality of your wit is astounding.

The 3 boat option was considered as part of the MOD's study of options for the replacement program : https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/212745/20130716_Trident_Alternatives_Study.pdf It is stated that this is a viable option, but will not give exactly the same level of deterrence as CASD. So hardly 'mealy mouthed'.

With a lowercase 'c' it would imply a humanist with liberal views, so quite possibly. #grammarpoliceonpatrol

No, you queried whether the 'Tory party' had said it : And there is plenty of evidence that DC has blethered on, incorrectly, about the UK deficit being the biggest in the G7, G20, developed world ( delete as appropriate ).

'Call me Dave' may not have done, but listen to Georgie Porgie in the first embedded audio clip ; https://sturdyblog.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/audio-blog-the-biggest-lie-in-british-politics/ " George Osborne makes a similar claim, with regard to National Debt this time, in a Press Release on the Conservative Party website with regard to the National Debt: “Responding to the release of ONS figures showing the true scale of UK national debt, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne said: ‘It’s official – Britain now has the highest national debt in the developed world.'”" ( Funnily enough the linked document is one of many that have mysteriously disappeared from the Tory's website ).

“Here we sit today with a budget deficit bigger than Greece.” David Cameron, Conservative leader, BBC Today programme, 9 April 2010 The OECD put the UK deficit at a 12.6 per cent of GDP – not bigger as Cameron alleged, but strikingly similar. It mirrors the figure the government set out in the pre-budget report in November last year. But the Treasury revised this number for the UK deficit down in the budget last month, placing it at 11.8 per cent of GDP for 2009/10. That suggests there’s a more comfortable leeway between us and Greece. ( Source http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/uk-deficit-bigger-than-greece-not-yet-its-not/1236 )

At least both parties would have charismatic and believable leaders.

No, it's an opinion poll, and is as reliable as any of the statistics quoted over the last 2 hours.

They are not credible.

He's got to get re-elected yet.

Has this 'debate' changed anybody's voting plans ?

Doing an impression of an Italian goalkeeper ?

Pssst, want to know a secret ? They're all lying.

Being married to a teacher, and knowing many more both socially and professionally, none of those I am aquainted with would agree with that article. I suspect she is very much in the minority.
