although clegg seems good, i totally disagree with him about the nuclear side of things both civil and militarily :\ and tbh i felt Brown did extremely well and held his composure tonight.
 
Browns attack on Clegg view on Nuclear was good :) Bit of punch behind it

Also, how are the Lib Dems going to do free tuition fees? If anything they need to go up, or only free on a one to one case
 
I think the responses you got show just why some people should not be allowed to vote at all given that they missed what was clearly sarcasm

You never know on a public forum?....I have heard all sorts of tosh...

The minority would be voting for one of the other parties, which are being pushed aside even more due to these 3 man debates, its pretty diabolical IMO.

To be honest there's not much point inviting people who're getting 2% of the vote, it just gives less time to hear from the people that 90% will vote for.
 
I watched the debate with a pen a paper, gave each man a point when I thought they said something good. I scored them:

Clegg: 11
Brown: 5
Cameron: 3

Just been to the newspapers, Times, Mail, Guardian, Telegraph, in each one the online poll has Clegg in the lead. The Sun one, I couldn't vote without logging in! It's also the only one showing a Cameron lead. :rolleyes:

The online polls aren't reliable, they appear to be taking a lot of traffic from facebook groups and the like...

Can't think why they have Cameron in the lead :p

But that's only your subjective and biased view.

In my view, Cameron was way ahead, Clegg did reasonably well, and Brown was awful (the only good part from him was the attack on Clegg over nuclear policy).

Likewise, self-selecting polls don't tell the whole story :)
 
I thought Clegg did the best again, although more narrowly. Cameron and Brown both did better.

Fewer black men who've been in the Navy since they were ten for Cameron, and it seems Brown doesn't agree so much with Clegg anymore. Clegg managed not to repeatedly bring up "cold-war Trident missile system".

Bring on the third debate!

Yes, it really is. The exception is with the nationalist parties in their respective countries, but that mean they have any place in the national debates.

Well I think it's because they're fringe extremists personally. Maybe it's chicken and egg but they poll so low that to allow them in you'd need to basically allow everybody to be there. It's going to be a fairly useless debate with 7 or 8 people fighting to have a decent say in 90 minutes.

I don't think we should have a voting culture of facebook group bandwagons..

"If we can get Rage to number1, we can get the Liberal Democrats in power"

Facebook, like, status, drinking game politics for first time votes.

Isnt that what party politics is? Groups getting behind a party because it best serves their interests? Im voting Liberal just for a change.
 
Brown did very well. He showed why he was the right man for the job and cearly identified advantages in his proposals.

Cameron has to try a lot harder. For him to prove his worth to the UK and show that tomorrows Conservatives aren't yesterday's Conservatives then he'd have to do a lot harder. None of the whole evading question thing, he needs to start answering them.

Clegg. I think Clegg is more of a popularity vote than anything. His policies have no real substance but he is a charismatic fellow. Hence the sudden surge in Lib Dems in the Op Polls. However, the Lib Dems have no experience in Gov. Begs the question, all bark no bite? At least with Cons and Lab you're guarenteed some bite.

There could be a concern that it's not because people agree with them but because it's 'cool', I do see that concern with some of the facebook groups.

Then again, that there's any aspiration for that group to get involved in politics again and believe they could make a difference is probably a good thing. Lets not forget, last time round 56% of people under 25 weren't even registered to vote.

Agree - it'd be a farce. It should simply be the top 3 parties from the previous election, whichever 3 that is and done on share of the total UK vote.
