I'm not watching but I can't work out from the commentary on here whether it's great entertainment or dull.
It's so so so boring. Dullest thing on tv in a long time. No idea who's winning or losing. Farage probably best but he looks ill & sometimes that's what counts.
About to switch off & watch Masterchef. Suspect most of Britain doing likewise.
Betfair seems to think Farage has knocked this out the park. Only guy I lose money on. Damn.
The point is that there is a section of the electorate that doesn't have anyone else batting for them. Other than maybe Cameron who sounds like he's being pummeled.
I can't quite work out how a country so massively in debt can " end austerity". Borrow more? It's like going to the CAB for debt advice because you owe so much money and them telling you the way forward is "fuck it borrow more money"
I think Bennett's ok. Perhaps she's not particularly numerate? I must admit that that was something that set Thatcher apart: she was numerate and had a decent basic knowledge of science.
Mostly we just have leaders who are etiolated classicists and hardly know one end of a screwdriver from the other.
Who says there aren't a broad range of opinions on PB :-)
Interesting that none of them are UKIP supporters and the one who is most sympathetic to UKIP usually on here is the one who thinks Farage is doing worst. Doesn't bode well for UKIP.
I think you've got to remember subliminals as some are. If 6 people attack 1 the subliminal is that the 1 is the real leader. It's how selection conferences for leaders work.
Probably best to step back and avoid the froth. Wait 2, 3, 4 days then see how the land lies.
It's amazing how often Sturgeon can trot out the "we pay more taxation revenues than the rest of the UK" line without anyone pointing out that we also receive far more in spending. In 12 of the last 16 years we've had a larger deficit than the rest of the UK (and those are the figures published by the Scottish government).

For me (as a Tory) I think this is a UKIP core (predominantly exTory) vote. He's given up on Scotland and Im not sure the NHS is enough.
Well, this will be a test of whether "centre ground" actually exists. Miliband has literally been in the centre of the two "extremes" on spending in this debate. Could be that he seems the most "in line" with Joe Public, but my prediction is he'll be dismissed as not saying anything very strong or distinctive atall.

Indeed, it is blindingly obvious that at least five of the people on stage — and Clegg is wobbling — are peddling a fantasy.

The key question is will the British people believe the fantasy

debt <> deficit
Big shock!
Cam is speaking far more. Ed is doing OK but he's just churning out the same stuff as all the others (except Farage).
just dicking two babes in a threesome in downtown Ludlow, could you lay off the posting as it's a bit distracting, Will catch up later lots of luv.

More people want failing austerity ended and this shows it.
Cameron might regret demanding this is stuffed with left wing alternatives.
Nobody agrees on here do they!

Half an hour for one question?

But I'm out. It's so boring.
The ladies won it.
Wood, Bennett, Sturgeon - three percenters.
Cameron really should be winning the first round when its on the deficit
Not bothering with anymore of this rubbish
This "debate" is bollocks. Hopefully there's a Top Gear repeat on somewhere.
He's solid 2nd favourite at 5.2.
Mili 9.
The judges are last year's final three, including the lovely Ping. Could be a tough crowd.
Sturgeon is my winner so far
"Betfair seems to think Farage has knocked this out the park."
I'm afraid they're right. No wonder Cameron was scared of him.
Green party are nuts.
Cameron up and down a lot-but he is getting some high peaks.
Bennett seems to be doing well.
Is this a fair reflection??
Main reason - Farage isn't dominating massively. Farage may win the post debate polls but he's not getting a knock-out.
Cam is sweeping up all the Centre Right, responsible vote.
Are people allowed to feel sorry for tories?
"Paying down debt" is a fantasy.
Study some macro economics and find out why.
Two Liberals.
Four Socialists.
Q4 is constitution - ie EU, Scotland
