Political Debate: Number 2

[nwgull]

This pope question is boring, they all pretty much agree that some catholic beliefs are bad in modern society but welcome the pope. Move on.

There's a "rate the leader" on the Sky live streaming page...

Clegg again doing well, but falls down on trident issue for me. We can't not have a nuclear seabourne deterent today when Iran's about to join the nuclear powers, however expensive it might be.

Brown and Cameron aren't pulling as many punches as I thought they would against Clegg. It seems he's got twice the amount of airtime, which isn't the case obviously, so I guess Clegg's statements are having a greater impact. Silky Dave's like Liverpool this season; great expectations he'd finally bring an end to a rival's long reign after such promise last year. But is rapidly turning into a big disappointment.

Cameron's notes for tonight ...

leftys really aren't that funny

leftys really aren't that funny

Especially when they've moved over to the right themselves.

Clegg you flirt you....

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Clegg coming across very well again. Like how he keeps referring to the other parties as "old" - very Obama-like.

Brown and Cameron just bitching about each other the WHOLE time, it's very tiring.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Clegg looks balanced.

 

[nwgull]

Clegg looks good again, think Brown has done way better this week though.

Brown gaining on Clegg

 

[Gully]

Cameron struggled to make the married family bonus thing look like anything other than a lurch to the right...I almost winced when he said it, it was cringeworthy and will surely cost him big time.

Much better this week and thoroughly watchable.

Thought all 3 did well this week. Think it'll be a coin toss between Cameron and Clegg.

 

[Dandyman]

Cameron is pretty poor if he is not scripted.

To be honest for an ex-PR man I expected him to be a lot slicker. It's interesting that the Tories poll ratings seem to dip the more people see of him.

I guess as an old Etonian, he is used to people telling him what to do.

The Tories are suffering from in 1997 not letting Clark be leader with Hague as his number 2, with a view to getting the leadership. It would have meant Hague would have been leader a bit further down the line.

bet they are all off down the corry tap now to get hammered.

 

[Gully]

Nice finish from Clegg...would expect him to maintain his position in the opinion polls on that showing, more than likely Brown will take a few points from Cameron...leaving all three pretty much neck and neck.

Really? I though DC was a poor 3rd this week.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Reckon it'll be Clegg & Brown neck n neck and Cameron trailingg in a poor third

 

[ram1992]

Think clegg did quite well again tonight..brown looked stronger than last week and cameron seemed to falter and back out of arguments at points...really looking forward to the last one as should be very very interesting as their last chance to grab the wider audience on a national scale

P.S The lasers sky news are using on the building are awesome

Both Ladbrokes and Paddy Power have Cameron favourite to win this evening.

Paddy Power has Cameron 1/2 and Clegg at 2s. Thought it was much closer than that myself.

Yougov now saying Cameron won.
