I wonder which debate he was watching.

EDIT

Sheeshkebab, the Dark Lord is at it now as well. What a plonker.

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

Cameron was better than last time, Brown was plain desperate and Clegg's decent 'man in the middle of the old guard' routine became just tiresome. None were great but then this format was never going to allow that.

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

.... heck, we've gone regional, and Alex Salmond is on my screen sharing his thoughts. Gordon was 'the loser' and the last thing we saw of him was 'that strange smile'. I hate it when I have to agree with the king of smug.

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

ITV/COMRES gives to Cameron by a small margin.

I think YouGov/The Sun are screwing their polls if you ask me.

Re: The 2010 General Election Thread: Week 4

So Conservative Majority or Hung Parliament next week?
Will Lib Dems get more votes than Labour?

Looking at the result of the polls it looks like we are no closer to knowing (other than be certain Labour have lost)

Wow, Labour really has given up ... they've put up Yvette Cooper to do talking heads on Newsnight.

Campbell was overheard saying 'We've Blown it'. Although that is according to the News of the World.

Hung parliament with Lib Dems getting more votes than Labour please. Then get serious about electoral reform.

He's specifically said he couldn't support Brown as PM if Labour came 3rd in the vote. That doesn't necessarily rule out working with Labour though... if they ditch Brown.

Yup. YouGov waited until after all the statements this week.
