The thing about Dave is he just liked having his mug on the TV at every opportunity. but he hates being questioned about anything.

he puts on this very angry face and goes Look... I am God. don't question me!"

Even the other world leaders avoid him at the parties. they think he's a Great British Door Knob.

He can be accused of making a big mistake by supporting such debates and then apparently running away from them, but it might just turn out to be a masterstroke.

I think this could be true of the multiparty debates. However if the broadcasters go ahead with the head to head debate and Cameron doesn't turn up then that might be quite bad. Miliband turning up and taking questions from the audience with a empty podium to his side and then the newspaper headlines all one week from polling day might be quite damaging in such a close election.

It's why Cameron didn't think they would actually do it. I am not convinced either.

Ukip on track for 100-plus second places across England

Quote:

The extraordinary potential haul of Ukip “silver medals” – in an addition to a likely tally of half-a-dozen or so seats at Westminster – would represent a massive breakthrough for Nigel Farage’s anti-EU party, which failed to achieve even a single second place in 2010.

It's pretty poor that the Media are turning the General Election into a media circus, it shouldn't be 'I'm an MP Get me out of Here'

Sadly joe Public will probably lap it up just like all the other tedious 'reality' ******** that's shown now.

Second Place - best loser.........

This is why I am wondering if our voting system can be sustained after this election. UKIP would get a big share of the vote to finish second in so many places but they'll get a handful of seats at best.

I might watch the debates now just to see a cardboard cut out of Dave in place of the real thing, there again there will be not much difference.

As he cannot be arsed engaging with the public i cannot be arsed to give him my vote.

I'm not watching any Party Political Broadcasts and I'll not be tuning into any debates..PM questions is tiresome.Why? Because no one debates anything.They just score cheap points across a room,through a newspaper or what ever medium they use to address each other and the public.

So scared - forecast 6 MPs (less than 1% of the seats).........

Speaking of bums and associated cleaning material - any sign of the UKIP manifesto yet?

(or is St Nigel still changing policy on the hoof?)

Have the others produced there's yet ?

**Hugh** · 08-03-2015, 14:19

No, not yet - just wondered if UKIP had.

I think it will be an interesting read (and strangely enough, I'm being serious here), as this is UKIP's first major outing in a UK General Election - they have all to play for, and to build on their successes in the Euro Elections.

Interesting (and fairly even-handed) article in the Spectator - http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeeh...nes-with-ukip/

Immigration, Immigration, Immigration.

like it or not. that's what the majority of voters will be putting their X next to at the ballot box.

They will have given up on the policies and promises on welfare, good old schools, NHS, and all the usual rubbish because it's all lies, lies and a waste of time.

so they'll be voting for Immigration, Immigration, and Immigration this time around.

politics has entered the new age. people will play it like they do with all the reality shows on TV.
Vote for a drastic change. because politics has changed dramatically now.

they've even set up a 'Vote to save' number. that's how much it's changed.
