8pm to 10pm Thursday night: the TV Leaders Debate

[MKR&*42]

Ed got really annoying for me because he felt the need to constantly mention 'zero hour contracts' and 'mansion tax' in every single q.
Cameron and Clegg arguments were fun to watch as well.

Don't really know who I thought did the best, Clegg or Nicola or Cameron were the top three IMO

Omg yes Leanne responding to Farage on the HIV lmao.

snp called farage out and then he shut up for the rest of the debate that didnt involve immigration lol

ed milliband's casual turns to the camera to gaze into our souls and extract our deepest darkest thoughts had me a bit on edge and his constant clicking of the fingers was quite irritating but aside from that i feel that he and nick clegg performed rather well all despite ignoring the other parties and the greens to focus on bashing cameron.
@Kardan; it's skandair hahaha

He literally must have set an alarm to come back at the end of March when the username became available since he hadn't posted for months before hand

Miliband was cringeworthy in the fact that it was all too obvious he read something called 'How to win votes 101' which involved turning to the camera and saying 'you' a lot.

He was really cringeworthy. No one wants him looking straight at them, piercing the very fibre of their souls while mentioning the Mansion Tax and Zero Hour Contracts.

Did anyone do, or know anyone that did, the Live Debates Drinking Game? I assume they all died of alcohol poisoning in the first part seeing as "balancing the books" was mentioned in every other sentence.

Nigel Farage managed to blame immigration for every single topic. One issue Politician.

Because it is a huge issue and the others still won't tell the truth on it, not to mention the fact that when you have limited time to speak focus on repeating your core issues just as Labour/Plaid did with austerity and the Tories did with their economic plan. Kudos to Leanne Wood who actually admitted the bleeding obvious.

On the immigration subject specifically, Farage's gamble appears to have paid off as this is what pollster Survation had to say after the debate.

It's like when housing got brought up. Only Farage mentioned the elephant in the room: net migration of 300,000. Hence why he along with Sturgeon topped poll.

Of course he was seen as 'best' for immigration - it's all he talked about throughout the debate!

I didn't know there was an official drinking game I found one on TheStudentRoom this morning which looked pretty funny.

I did my own one last night during the second half... Zero Hour Contracts was mentioned a lot so you can imagine what happened to me.

The Plaid Cymru leader seems so entitled oh my god I couldn't stand her. I get she has to talk about the flaws in Wales, but to complain that they are getting a raw deal compared to Scotland pisses me off considering England and Scotland have a similar GDP per capita and Wales is falling behind, yet England is the one getting the worst deal out of all the 4 "home nations". Sturgeon did better than expected to be honest and I sort of have to wonder if approval for them is good across the whole of the UK, how long the SNP will stay the SNP. Everything else was fairly predictable and dull.

I still think Nigel will be the guys here.
