That was like watching three tailors dummies in Burtons shop window spring to life for very little purpose.

Does anyone else think that George Osborne is looking a bit arrogant?

and Vince Cable is holding his ground well

George Osborne a bit arrogant ?
Put it this way........Is the Pope a Catholic !

And I did like the Vince Cable contribution tonight...It is a shame though that his party are not in with a realistic chance ! Or are they ?
I am getting rather fed up with the two main parties hogging all the limelight !
It is time for a massive change in this country of ours and with loads of first time voters this year.......it could happen !

I thought there would have been a bit more of a debate going on in 'ere TBH. It did go quite fast though, I dont think an hour was long enough. Not enough time to put the pressure on before moving to the next questions. I'm sure I missed a few bits, didnt catch the answer on VAT from Osborne or Darling.

Reassuring to see the Conservative Party has a psychic in young George Osborne as well as an economics guru.

His closing speech comprised an apology to Vince Cable and the remark that the next election will be between Labour and Conservative, because the Liberal Democrats won't get anywhere.

Well done, George.

That's a few more votes you've earned for the LibDems.

Because the more a snotty nosed politico like Osborne starts telling the electorate which way it is going to vote, the more certain it is that that electorate will most certainly not.

PS: well done, Vince. He trounced the other two.

I'm certainly contemplating voting Yellow this year instead of Red from the last time...

We all know that the colours gonna change from Red to Blue otherwise, it has done in previous years.

Can the government apply for voluntary bankruptcy to get us out of the current situation?

Yes - like Argentina did a few years ago.

A few months later the must have Xmas present was a gun.
