Ye gods is this the best we can get as to a debate. Far too controlled and sadly nothing new as to learning anything that we didn't know before.

The female leaders performed pretty good and for me Nicola Sturgeon was on top form,even in a subdued way.
Absolutely the best for me tonight.

The looks Clegg was getting from David Cmeron were priceless, I knew Cameron would have to get in the point that he and Clegg have worked on policy for 5 years and that he was a bit tired of him putting that work down.
I agreed with Cameron on that,Clegg acted liek he was responsible for nothing worng that had happened in the last 5 years.

However David Cameron did for me seem a bit lost.
While Ed Miliband did enough to, I think, to sway some more voters but unfortunately in the absence of the manifesto details from each party, there could be no real scrutiny or challenge done in this debate.
It ended up a talking shop, that really went nowhere in my view.

I will never support Nigel Farage but his closing address was the best by far and Ed Milbands opening address the best there.
Although I disagree with Nigel Farage on most things,I do admire how he sticks to his guns.
He and Nicola Sturgeon for me peformed the best as in the debate but not,in his case,as to the content of what he said.
Plus his hiv example was extremely uncalled for and very low stunt to pull.

Really, if this is the best these debates can be then it may be best not to have them,everyone played reasonably safe, no one gave too much away as to detailed policy, we as voters learned nothing, I would say, we didn't already know.

I think being the first of the debating programmes last time in 2010, that with Nick Clegg doing so well in all 3, Brown and Cameron were overshadowed then too.
This time, David Cameron seemed unwilling to challenge at all,and I can see why he didn't want any of these debates really probably.

Such debates are no use whatsoever if most of the participants are frightened of saying the wrong thing.
It was for me, a feeling of like watching a film you could not get into or understand.
With the plot remaining hidden all through and never even revealed at the end of the film.
Sorry poor show for me and I doubt it will change much really.

Well done to Natalie Bennet, she did better tonight and I was pleasantly surprised at Leanne Wood,she may even get one extra seat out of this debate in Wales.
