final debate today

Clegg and Brown should attack Cameron on inheritance tax and married tax allowance

Cameron will talk about the jobs tax, best response to that will be to talk about the defecit and the fact that its a very, very small rise that wont affect people who earn under £20,000

Clegg will mention Vince Cable because Cable is popular

Brown will hope that no-one brings up bigot-gate

All of that is tittle tattle to be honest

The converstion shouldnt be about our fat benefit and tax credit system... thats obviously way too generous as anyone with half a brain knows.

It should be about the real economy... the macro economy and how it is going to be sorted out.  It is THE biggest single issue facing the UK (and man others) for the next decade. 

It is time they ALL said what they will do.  EXPECIALLY brown... he is the only one who actually has the full data and it is incumbent on him to actually show the nation what the state of our finances are and what he would do to resolve it.

 

 

 

no need for insults, the main problem with the tax credit system is that you can get them even if youre a multi-millionaire, which is crazy, benefits and welfare are good as they help people who need them, there the last thing that you should cut in a reccession as people need that help now more than ever.

@tombi why is cameron an eton tosspot

Research the Bullingdon Club.

What? You mean David Cameron's parents were rich and sent him to a good school? You mean he was posh in college?

That's horrible. He can't possibly be Prime Minister now, he'd destroy the country. We need somebody from a poor background, like Winston Churchill.

Hahahahaha

So they want to make Britain a leader in high tech manufacturing and increase spending in our science base. Fantastic idea, perhaps they shouldn't be slashing university budgets and holding research council budgets for the next several years then.

or perhaps they should CUT subsidy of some of the more airy fairy degrees.  How many thousands of students are doing menaingless and worthless degrees?

invest in real degrees and yes... science.

 

Couldn't agree more.

The person who asked the immigration question is clearly a racist and bigot.

What was the question?


Or was that just a sly dig at Brown?

economic questions

Cameron & Brown >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Clegg

now onto immigration

Have to give it to Cameron, he does argue well on the economy and comes across better than the others. Also agree Clegg is probably the weakest. I thought Osborne was very weak in the chancellors debate a few weeks ago though.
