Nigel's SINCERITY shines through and the COMMON SENSE of what he is saying is glaring..

Milliband's biggest problem is this:

His pitch, tone and inflexion of voice is almost IDENTICAL to 'Tory Poster Boy' TONY BLAIR.

Go back to his opening spiel and mentally superimpose Blair's face on Ed's - you'll see what i mean.

the questions were pathetic....immigration again really? nhs ? same old...nothing about corrupt councils , endless waste, road works ruining towns, nothing on the enslavement tax VAT, nothing on high rates ruining towns....nothing even on wars, barely a word for the disabled either


farage is way ahead for sincerity common sense and not playing to the audience like most of the other fakes. he was spot on.

sturgeon has made a few tidy points especially about merging the social and health care as I mentioned in another thread. she failed on Europe though

Cameron solid. he underlined the changes hes made and the fact Europeans wont be allowed benefits straight away nor send child benefits home etc but he slipped up on taxing the disabled he didn't deny it was going to happen

miiiband is just awful. a poor mans blair. he wants to legislate us into bankruptcy. he was smug preachy arrogant and chatting s*it the whole time. everything he claimed he wants to stop he actually encouraged in government. he built the economy with the gap between rich and poor biggest in 200 years? he also failed to address the failure of welsh nhs under labour who have CUT budgets and increased burocracy and middle management. what a joke he is.

Leanne wood average, though strangely attractive...she did nail miliband on zero hours contracts though fair play..new labour were using them and never stopped them lol...it was odd to hear wales actually mentioned much in these debates...lets hope the northern irish get a look in next time..she rightly said wales gave the nhs to the world which is true with neu bevan and Lloyd George...but a lot of her other stuff was too predictable and lacked depth

clegg came across as even faker than miliband, hes just so smug and sanctimonious
the green peace lady made a few half valid points but she lives on la la land. her sums will never ever add up.

after watching the debate I'm really unsure of who to vote my mum and dad have always voted labour and his is my second year voting last time I didn't chose to vote which I regret but I didn't really have an idea at 19. I'm really against UKIP and the Green Party, Scottish independence party and Welsh party mean nothing to me. I can't stand David Cameron

For me after judging all the policies I think I'm either going to vote Labour or the Lib-Dems. Probably end up voting labour but I can't say none are really making me want to vote for them.

I think that Leanne is quite underrated in this debate imo.

She questioned both Labour and Tories on their dangerous Policies, she seemed to have Wales as her interest, and she came up with a very strong EU Referendum plan.

Ultimately after May 7 only 4 of these leaders are going to be relevant (Farage is not one of them btw) and of those Miliband and Clegg were the best

I've just realised I've sort of got the question wrong. Tonight even though I won't vote for them Nicola Stuergon shined through as a real strong leader I felt and I perosnalky felt that Clegg did also. Meanwhile Farage just seemed to sort every policy out by blaming it on immigration. Miliband unfortunately is too weak of a leader for labour.

Honestly, I think that Nicola Sturgeon won the debate in the end, closley followed by Leanne Wood and Ed Miliband.

I don't know why I voted since I didn't watch. I just assumed Cameron would slither through the show with the more convincing lies.

Really no one was that outstanding but Nicola Sturgeon for me performed the best, she was reasoned and knew her stuff.

Ed Miliband performed the better of the 3 main party leaders,David Cameron seemed like someone with very little to say and he appeared to want to avoid any in depth analysis of what he was saying.

Nigel Farage as ever performed really good until his hiv example, that will cause him some problems I feel.
However, as Nicola Sturgeon asked, was there anything Nigel Farage wouldn't blame on foreigners,a valid point after last night as to him actually.

Nick Clegg,tried desperately to disassociate himself from some of the really severe things this govt; has done and rightly in the end got a rebuke for his stance from David Cameron.
That was Nick Cleggs' problem last night, David Cameron in the main put forward his policies from 2010 throughout this parliament, even being allowed to go too far on some.
Nick Clegg abandoned all his party's principles and the bulk of his policies to be in govt;,this is the price you pay for betraying the voters who trusted you,while you then act in your own interests.

I would love to see that too Kizzy,going on a road with more fairness,justice and compassion would be a breath of fresh air and I think a great success in the end too.

What she did last night was to allay fears of those,well, those who were willing to listen that is, that the SNP is not going to be a wrecking force at westminster but a strongly committed one to more 'understanding' policies across the whole of the UK.
