Who will be the Winner in Tonight's big political debate ?

[midnight_rendezvous]

Of course, the Tories have been in power for the last 18 years. Oh wait, no, we had 13 years of labour then a coalition. Hmm, but it's the Tories fault Isnt it. But labour had13 years to do this. Inconvenient fact....

So they're exempt from blame because...? They've protected the people that caused the economic crash and refuse to chase up the cooperate tax that is owed whilst arrogantly reminding us that if WE did that WE'D face jail. Labour aren't any better but that doesn't mean the Tories are right to continue to make the rich richer whilst blaming the poor.

Have you tried to trace your family tree? I can guarantee you that there is 'foreign blood' in it somewhere. We're all made up of different cultures in this country, from Anglo Saxons (Germany) Roman (Italy) Celts (which have a lot of Norwegian in them) Vikings (Denmark)
Take your pick.

Holy FACK you're weird

 

[lawros left foot]

I don't, and let's be fair, neither do you.

Now don't go ruining his little 'last white man in Britain' fantasy

 

[beorhthelm]

well to be honest the first 3/4 was pretty much of a muchness, a bunch of politicans who stood their ground fairly well (even Bennett), trotted out what they've said a dozen times before and i dont think there was a "winner". the last debate did turn things around, and will probably have a significant effect on polling: Clegg, Sturgeon, Cameron all landed punches on Miliband, who was trying too hard and openening himself/Labour up to jabs (point about who introduced tuition fees particularly good one).

and did anyone else keep thinking why is Daphne from Frasier on the debate?

 

[lawros left foot]

ermmm.... yeah I think that's racist. For no reason other than they come from another country you don't want them here! Send back all our foreign players immediately!

He will now insist he isnt a racist because he has black friends

 

[driller]

So the winner tonight was ....?

 

[Mr Bridger]

Not that I agree with some of their policies but thought the greens and yellows came out on top.

Just hope that's not repeated tomorrow .

Holy FACK you're weird

Doesn't bear thinking about it, does it?

According to YouGov polling, the prediction is that the Scot came 1st and NF 2nd, Dave 3rd. and Ed 4th.

30,000 poles here alone nevermind the rest

And don't forget their bloody grandparents who came over here in world war 2 to fly our BRITISH planes, work on our BRITISH ships, fight alongside our BRITISH troops and help us break the bloody enigma code.

That's the first time I've realised that Nigel Farage`s initials are NF!

Correct. Forget the Hollywood version, it was the Poles who got the enigma machine to us.

I wonder if he booed Kuszczak last season because he was Polish. How about our manager who's half Irish & half Ghanian?

 

[East Preston Gull]

No but I also don't think that every passer by is a thief. Statistically immigrants are far less likely to use the NHS so they aren't as big of a problem as you perceive them to be. It's human life. How can you be so flippant? Especially when it could be funded by the people who are blaming foreigners whilst protecting the big cooperations.

Come to bognor regis. Our local surgery is now closed to new patients. The exceptional rate of immigration in the bognor regis area has caused chaos for doctors, schools and indeed crime. Years of national insurance payments guarantee you **** all here.

25/1 IR, why didn't I play

UPDATE1: As well as their poll at full time which will follow later, ComRes also did a half time poll. Asked who was performing best Nigel Farage came top on 24%, followed very closely by Miliband 21%, Cameron 19% and Sturgeon 18%. Farage was also seen as performing worst – picked by 22%, suggesting he’s having quite a polarising effect.
UPDATE2: First of the reaction polls is out from YouGov – Sturgeon clearly ahead on 28%, Farage second 20%, Cameron 18%. Rest to come as soon as they appear.
UPDATE3: ICM have Miliband and Cameron almost neck and neck at the top – Miliband 25%, Cameron 25%. Behind them Farage and Sturgeon are close together for third place – Farage 19%, Sturgeon 17%.
UPDATE4: ComRes have an extremely even split in their results – Cameron 21%, Miliband 21%, Farage 21%, Sturgeon 20%.

Actually, I don't comment too much on here as too many are blinkered posters. Either it's labour can do no wrong and the Tories are w*nkers, or vice versa.

Until people can have an adult debate, there's no point in trying.

The same as politicians. All politicians are liars IMO. Until they can be honest in their discussions, rather than always opposing everything the other party says then the country won't improve.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

According to YouGov polling, the prediction is that the Scot came 1st and NF 2nd, Dave 3rd. and Ed 4th.

The big question is whether English voters who were impressed with Nicola Sturgeon thought that that Miliband performed better than Cameron - because that won't be reflected in the YouGov poll.

 

[pastafarian]

Can someone explain to me why Farage bringing up the issue of Health Tourism makes it racist?I dont remember Andy Burnham being called racist when he said it was an issue last year or Cameron being called racist when he said previously it is a problem.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Well I'm sorted. The Lab and Cons always promise and never deliver, UKIP is a tad too divisive, SNP nah and Clegg is not sure where his bread is buttered. Greens are Green so the sexy Welsh accent is it then

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Farage said the right things but will never be boss. Cameron and Clegg mostly in together in so much as running each other down, obviously as they together have run the last parliament. Miliband just not strong enough.

Yes I've voted tory for years I'm not sure this time but just can't imagine Miliband being an international statesman. I fear ukip will put him there.

Never in history has labour helped the working class will it now? I doubt it. Higher taxes, higher unemployment, higher debt.
