I came here when I was six . . .

Stockhausen, are you ever going to make a thread with anything that's remotely related to significant policy and the impact that a particular party might have should they come to power?

.....or are you going to simply snipe and nitpick at personality and ignore the issues?

For what it's worth, Cameron was bloody awful in the TV debate so I'm not surprised he made a cockup like that. It's hardly the sort of thing that should shape an election though.

I also have no doubt that you'd last precisely 5 minutes on the PPE at Oxford. (And don't be a **** and make a snide comment about being able to do arithmetic so obviously not meeting entry criteria, it's getting really tiresome...)

Just scan through his posting history, he's one of the biggest trolls on the forum who when questioned on his flawed remarks either ignores the comments or resorts to picking out spelling mistakes. "flipant one liners" soon get boring when the author doesn't change the record.

I think that it may have something to do with the fact that on a predominantly right-wing forum, I have the temerity to suggest that Cameron is lightweight, dishonest and a front for what is still a determinedly Thatcherite Tory party dedicated to helping the rich become ever richer.

Sorry that that wasn't entirely flippant and ran to more than one line ;)

Stockhausen, I think it's odd that you are running down cameron for mistakes in his anecdotes whilst completely ignoring the fact that brown mentioned 7 times in the tv debate that he would not decrease the numbers of police and then his own home secretary couldn't guarantee the numbers wouldn't fall which basically means they will.

What do think is worse, getting wrong how much the police spent on a car or lying about protecting police jobs?

I am not saying cameron is better than brown but you seem to be terribly selective in your criticisms. Also I don't think it's fair to criticise the tories by saying they want to help the rich get richer when that is in fact what the labour government has done over the last 13 years.

I understand that you don't support labour, rather the lib dems and I can respect that, it just seems that you are not consistent or fair when criticising the other parties.

To be honest, he doesn't need to be, we're not a publicly funded media source so can be as politically impartial as we like.

No, really, it has absolutely nothing to do with that at all.

Serious(ish) answer . . .

All three leaders rehearsed what they were going to say, they had specific messages that they wanted to get across and details that they didn't want to spell out in too much detail . . . and without doubt none of them were being open or telling the truth all of the time.

As part of this, Cameron rehearsed a number of anecdotes and sound-bites
  • A man joining the navy at age 10
  • The Humberside Police pointlessly investing in a £73,000 Lexus
  • His enthusiasm for state schooling
  • His enthusiasm for the NHS
  • etc., etc., etc.
These were not off-the-cuff responses to questions; the least his researchers could have done was to get their facts right and if he were anything more than the acceptable face of the undead Thatcherite Tory party, he might have given some thought in advance to the nonsense he was spewing forth.

This should not be in any way construed as an expression of support for Gordon Brown or New Labour and as I have said, I have no doubt that Nick Clegg made mistakes - he will get better - he will have to now that he is being taken seriously and faces the real and welcome possibility that he will have to deliver on some of his commitments as part of a coalition government.
