^Not yet :P. Fascinating election, surprisingly unpredictable at times! Still too tight to call the end result. Disappointed in the CON gains in Wales, and in the loss of the LD "surge" - it's a drop since only yesterday in the polls, clearly people find it hard to change allegiance even...

^I said "if" :P.

Well done with that debate Ciall! Sounds like it went really well :). I've spent the last 5 days in London, where I managed to take part in the Lib Dem flashmob in Trafalgar Square :P. I also spent Tuesday afternoon wandering around Westminster which felt quite surreal, being so close to...

^What's even scarier is Cameron's "team" - a complete bolus of w**kers if ever I saw one, they give arrogant ignorant pompous morons a bad name. The majority of the media have been ridiculously biased - I'm hoping less people are falling for it now. At least this time it's a) close, and b)...

Clegg got the highlight of the debate then though, attacking Cameron - "Answer the question!". I thought they were even on Immigration, Brown's attack gave Clegg the opportunity to explain the policy. I thought Brown was rubbish in the first-half, and then the old political dog in him woke-up...

^Lol, shush you, I'm MSNing, cooking, eating & feeding the cats :P. Brown is getting PWNED on the economy! He's shafted. They're ignoring Clegg a bit too - mistake, it gives him freedom to look different (like the first debate).

^Well at least you got the opportunity - our customer, the DVLA, is not allowed to discuss politics by law (civil service impartiality), and my lot, Fujitsu, have warned us to stay impartial in case it affects a bid! If anyone fancies some MSN action during the debate, I'll be lurking :P.

As the main topic of tonight's final Leaders Debate is The Economy, I thought I'd clarify something (apologies if you know this already, but it confused me, and it's bound to crop up). The UK has a debt of just under £1 trillion - this is the total money that the UK owes. The UK has a...

Well done Ciall! Excellent effort considering you're not eligible to vote :) (yet - "Lib Dems reduce voting age to 16" FTW hehe). Marc was talking about donations earlier. In the first week of campaigning, donations to the parties were:- • Labour: £780,000 • Conservative: £1,450,000 •...

Cameron gaffed by saying we had to protect ourselves from getting nuked by China, but that wasn't very personal. This one is very personal. Love the pic when he found out: The actual conversation was: Mrs Duffy: "We had it drummed in when I was a child with mine … it was education...

^I thought you weren't bothered Ian :P. It's not the label ("bigoted woman"), although he's judged her pretty quickly off one comment, it's the way he's speaking to her all nicey nicey one minute and then slagging her off as soon as he's out of earshot! It makes him a liar. Of course a lot...

LOL! Brown's just ****ed-up big stylee! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8649012.stm And I thought Cameron would screw-up first...

Have a look at my post on Page 10 - answered in full! I thought you had an argument for a second there Ciall :P. "Standard of education has dramatically increased" - by which yardsticks? More students pass their GCSEs these days, with higher grades. One of the reasons is that GCSEs are...

Really? What's wrong with it? The only complaint I've read is that it will make Unis reliant on Government funding, but then they are now and always have been. • Scrap unfair university tuition fees for all students taking their first degree, including those studying part-time, saving them over...

I think you misread it then - spending goes up every year! Total spending..........................................3,730.....3,745.....4,115.....5,050.....5,360 Actually it was used by Brown last night. What's the Lib Dems are actually doing is changing it: "Reforming Winter Fuel Payments to...

^It's in the writing. As you say, there have been some great concepts in the episodes. Sometimes these apply to the plot, and sometimes to the characters. However the episode as a whole has to be written such that all these ideas are woven together into a coherent script, and THAT'S...

You've answered your own question there - savings! BUT since the Lib Dems are the ONLY party to actually publish full costings in their manifesto, allow me to show you:- Spending Proposals £m (in predicted nominal terms)...

I think Brown fought back massively this week, Clegg was still extremely good and Cameron was AWFUL! I DO NOT want that man to be my Prime Minister! He's rubbish! He can't even handle a TV debate without faltering, he looked completely lost for large chunks of it & got bitch-slapped by Brown...

If you're keeping it that specific, Lib Dems will cancel your tuition fees :P. Since we're nailing our colours up, I'm coming out as Lib Dem. Never voted for them before, but their policies, personnel & conduct are STREETS ahead of the other two. The Tory press machine's smear campaign...

Both the Lib Dems and the Conservatives say they will hold referenda for any big changes on Europe. Labour don't - but then they've already shat-out of EU referenda before!
