Paxman is going full paxman here.

Nah, tired enough as it is without these 2 sending me into a coma.

I'm watching, think Cameron is doing very well.

He struggled with Paxman but did ok on the audience. No major gaffs.

I think we might here about how Kay Burley is asking follow up questions for Miliband and didn't for Cameron.

Thing is, in regards to audience questions, Milliband has no track record to defend and so gets an easier ride.

Hopefully Paxman will give him a hard time.

Yeah that's why Cameron didn't want a full debate. Always more difficult for the incumbent.

Weak from Miliband but started to get better when Paxman just focused on his personality.

Not watching. can't stand the sound of his voice.
and all the lies.
and the way he's so patronising.
and the way he thinks he's God.
the serious faces he pulls.
his big slaphead.
his fat chubby face.

is it any good?

Mistake from Paxman, he didn't need to get personal.

I think so. Especially going after the brother issue when it was already brought up. However it was a mistake too because Miliband did well rebutting them when he was struggling with questions on his policy weaknesses. Miliband looked a lot tougher than people are used too as a result and the 'who cares' when Paxman said he 'looked like a geek' was good.

... and therein lies the problem. The currency of our politicians has been greatly devalued over the years to the point many people feel it's worthless. I don't see an easy way to restore its credibility either.

i heard they where not in the same room as each other so deemed it a pointless exercise and didn't tune in .

heero_yuy · 27-03-2015, 08:04

I didn't watch it because I value our TV screen.

Were their lips moving?
