    Wow, I bet it doesn't say that on the LibDem website! I'd be inclined to phone the party tomorrow morning, say you were impressed with Nick Clegg and ask them directly what they are doing to ensure you are able to vote for them.


    I want to know more about it full stop: surely this is quite a big thing at this time:eek: imagine, if like this before elected...:eek:

    If Cameron mentions NI rise once more my slapometer may explode ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    According to Nick Clegg on the Lib Dem website, we've had 65 years of Torys and Labour in power, in case anyone else was wondering like I was.

    Brown's just claimed the military say that they've got the best equipped forces that they've ever had. That's !!!!!!!!.


    The problem with our Armed Forces (well more how the money is spent) is the old and bold still have this cold war mentality......so buy stuff (such as Bowman) that is out of date for what we fight now.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    Everyone has said on this so far how well Clegg is doing, they are right he is and I think he has been told to look directly into the camera by his "people" to appear more sincere and genuine.

    I think we will see a shift in the polls with LD's climbing a couple of % over the next couple of weeks.

    He's talking directly to the person who answers the question from the audience and has done each time. Watch it back on Iplayer if you like, with an open mind, you will see this for yourself.

    To be fair, so has Brown, just like Clegg.

    Also, I doubt Cameron can pick up the fact that clegg is looking at the bloke. We have a different viewing angle to Cameron and Brown.

    The bloke cameron could not see, was behind a camera from his angle, so was asking where he was. Quite innocent I think.

    Seems to be very nit picking to be picking up on these tiny details and looking to make them into something they quite clearly are not.

    Cameron should remind people that there are actually fewer beds in the NHS now than under the Tories!

    The website said the candidate is Paul Reynolds, but I guess he is not allowed to stand if what the sky website said is true?
