    Sturgeon.

    But Cameron has an easy message to sell - steady as she goes....

    As said on last thread, Cameron DID look like a PM. Miliband was just another one amongst the others and will suffer in Wales and Scotland as a result increasing chance of Tories being largest party.
  • FensterFenster Posts: 2,115
    Sturgeon. Class act.
  • SaltireSaltire Posts: 525
    Sturgeon gets 28% on the Yougov poll. Leading Farage by 8%
  • GrandioseGrandiose Posts: 2,323
    Who won and who will shift more votes will prove to have different answers. Farage proved himself the marmie politician, the man for whom the NHS is about healthcare tourists, housing is about immigrants, living standards about immigration depressing wages, etc.
  • Peter_the_PunterPeter_the_Punter Posts: 14,792
    Farage - Sturgeon - Miliband - in that order.

    Plaid leader was the surprise - not very polished but had some good moments.
  • FensterFenster Posts: 2,115
    Agree on Sturgeon's accent too. Gravitas.

    Sturgeon "won".

    But the biggest winners were Farage and Clegg.

    Interesting Clegg ended up so poorly rated, I thought he'd have a best of the rest after the minor parties
  • SpeedySpeedy Posts: 12,100
    Who won: The SNP, but they were going to win almost all seats in scotland anyway.
    In non-scotland land: Farage.

    Who won doesn't really matter, as very few people will have watched it. What will really matter is how the news outlets edit the sound bites that is what most people will see.

    Good YG for Conservatives and on the debate Cam is ahead of Miliband. Job done.
  • JosiasJessopJosiasJessop Posts: 46,710
    22.06, and I've received an email from Labour about the debate. The problem is that it contains nothing specific about the debate, and is obviously pre-written.

    Pathetic.

    (And I'll say the same for the other parties if they do it).

    Agreed.

    Sturgeon did well and I wouldn't want to be a Labour MP.

    I thought Clegg was polished but bland apart from thumping EdM once. He can't do the I'm A Nice Guy thing again - so Ms Greenies did it instead.

    Nigel is just too one-trick for me = I found his endless face pulling and laughing inappropriate for a leaders' debate.

    A pleasant suprise that Nicola won it as I thought people would have voted according to which party they would vote for at the GE.

    But if she has teed off potential Labour and LD voters in England, ad deters them from voting Labour or LD, then that helps too. You need to remember we're all in the union together.

    BBC worm (MORI) - per MORI spokesman: Miliband didn't get as good a reaction as Cameron.

    After the initial headline this BBC1 10 pm report is pretty solid for Cameron.
  • RogerRoger Posts: 20,942
    Comm Res results completely different. Ladbrokes going with YouGov I believe

  • felixfelix Posts: 15,180
    Any boost for the SNP does most damage to Labour and LDs - I'd be surprised if it affected tory voters up there.

  • NemtynakhtNemtynakht Posts: 2,329
    Cameron won by splitting the left wing vote. Labour will have significant resources tied up in Scotland and Wales. Academic / do-gooder types can vote liberal or green. Working class can vote for Ukip. Only Farage would have attracted any of the Tory right.

    Cameron got what he wished:

    - Miliband swamped among the other five, almost forgotten about at times.

    - His main opponent's main oppenents in Scotland doing well....

    - No one stand-out that might cause a surge anywhere.

    I'm calling it for Cam.
  • MikeLMikeL Posts: 7,809
    Sturgeon doing well obviously good news for Cameron.
  • StereotomyStereotomy Posts: 4,092
    Will be interesting to see if Farage's relatively sound performance leads to UKIP peeling off some of those votes they've been leaking. And if they can keep them

    Sturgeon may appear to have won, but she appears to equate growth with incresed welfare spending, and higher taxes. She is a fiscal illiterate, and suffers from economic incontinence. Scotland's economy would not thrive with her in charge.

    Miliband will lose seats in Wales and Scotland, but as for The Greens, they have picked a charmless charisma free dud.

  • Casino_RoyaleCasino_Royale Posts: 64,186
    The pollsters being over the place sort of vindicates Cameron's strategy for these debates: put in so many leaders, that no conclusive narrative can be formed any which way.

    But I do find it astonishing how many of our political leaders seem to struggle with basic debating skills. Sturgeon is one of the few who bothered to learn her trade.
