    he raised a couple of laughs at camerons expense though. :rotfl:

    tbh i don't know how they stop themselves interrupting cameron talking such a load of rubbish.

    clegg is doing well.
    He did indeed. the other two aren't so rude as to do it back yet, so we won;t know how many of the audience would laugh at him.

    Its good to hear you are taking the debate with an open mind!

    Clegg IS doing well I think.

    These debates are huge for the Lib Dems - Clegg gets the same amount of time and coverage as Labour and Tories - makes the Lib Dems seem like 'equals', not the third party. If Clegg can keep performing, I think it could play out very well for them at election - part of coalition maybe.

    cameron is looking really bad at the moment.

    voting against removing hereditary peers and saying things like "who in their family life hasn't had to make savings and try to get more for less".....well not you and your aristo wife mate. can the tories stop making a comparison between government spending and personal spending. osborne is just as bad.

    If we had a different voting system maybe they wouldn't be thought of as the third party.

    or quick witted.....don't think the tories are worried about being rude, they've got gordon plastered over posters all over the country and have now posted a picture of him with aides holding the door open calling him 'supreme leader'. nice to your face rude behind your back.

    Is there any chance of Nick Clegg getting in as I really like him? Don't know much at all about politics. I think that's really good what he said about the MPs, and the other two jumped on the bandwagon.
