Poll: The Last Leaders Debate – Live tonight at 2030 BST on BBC One

[Daaaveee]

omg Cameron just said we've been losing industry at the fastest rate since the eighties. um who was in power in the eighties then?

I guess you don't know what 'since' means then...

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Output from all production industries combined fell by 3% between 2000 and 2007.

 

[TS7]

Here we go... Labour pretending again they haven't been in power for the last 13 years.

Yeah, this annoyed me especially in the first debate!

 

[bigredshark]

For reference, labour made a good faith (and very sensible) attempt to fix things in the 70s which the unions laughed at them for. So yes, to an extent, but some people did try - the unions should regard turning down that opportunity as among the stupidest things they've ever done.

 

[Fuzz]

Lib Dem defence policy is frightening.

Ministry of Defence would be renamed Ministry of Hope We Don't Go To War As We Have Nowt To Fight With.

Who do we need to fight then??

I'm sure if the **** hit the fan the euro troops would stand by us

 

[Vampire]

clarke , osborne wont make cabinet

This, hopefully. I'm voting Cameron but I really hope Osbourne gets replaced immediately.

All we ever here about Labour is that they ruined the country over the last 13 years but didn't we also go through one of the greatest booms and times of prosperity in economic history in that same time ?

I guess you don't know what 'since' means then...

"Losing industry at the fastest rate since the '80s" i.e. we were losing industry at a faster rate in the '80s when the Conservatives were in power.

Who didn't. It was boom time for the world.
Labour sacrificed long term stability for a little extra BOOM compared ot other countries.
If Labour had licensable policies and did not shaft the economy we would have ridden the global recession so much better.

We did and it was all built on debt.

House of cards.

 

[James J]

Love the way that all 3 of them are banging on about scientific research being one of the main areas which the government should focus on. I mentioned this well over a month ago on here and got laughed at lol. Gotta love the OcUK forums sometimes

 

[LabR@t]

"Losing industry at the fastest rate since the '80s" i.e. we were losing industry at a faster rate in the '80s when the Conservatives were in power.

at a faster rate than the 80's ie more jobs lost under labour

 

[Haiku]

Cameron and Clegg are right about investing in science. Hi-tech industry and life sciences are the way to go.

 

[Westyfield2]

Oi, no adverts BBC!

 

[Daaaveee]

"Losing industry at the fastest rate since the '80s" i.e. we were losing industry at a faster rate in the '80s when the Conservatives were in power.

No, just... no...

Complete comprehension fail.

 

[Nzyme]

What are the chances of Osbourne being chancellor ?

 

[Westyfield2]

ZOMG HE SAID IMMIGRATION!!!! BIGOT!!

 

[JamesU2005]

Will Cameron ever answered Brown's questions?

 

[bigredshark]

What are the chances of Osbourne being chancellor ?

Right now, 90% or so in my view, in a minority conservative government...
