Anyone know where I can watch the latest debate (the one being discussed here)? Sounds funny.

it's probably on the BBC website but not sure outside the UK,

it's not really that worth it though montanna

that Great Hall they were in at Birmingham University was quite impressive though,i liked it

The bolded is very true, and I think these debates have made that abundantly clear. That and the fact that Brown really is an idiot.

Clegg seemed a bit too evasive at times and his debating style has become a bit too well-known now. Even I'm noticing the tactics he's employing and he repeated the same things for each debate; personalising each question given and answering the questioner directly whilst playing the whole "We haven't been in power for years" card a bit too much.

Cameron's improved over the 3 debates but could have and should have answered some of the questions better, especially when both Brown and Clegg put questions to him on the economy and Tory policies.

Brown seemed desperately negative and basically said, "I suck, but these 2 suck more!", and kept asking the same questions... which the other 2 had already answered. Anyone notice the nervous lip quivers in the middle?

And all 3 outright lied about there opponents policies.

Now who do I vote for?

a 4th party, there are plenty of them, im almost certainly voting for the Green Party

It looks like we are heading for a hung parliament unless Clegg or Brown do something really stupid. Bigot-gate Mark II.
Harsh for the Conservatives they are so close to a majority.

But swinging between two parties that refuse to change the electoral system because it is not in their interest has to change at some point. Now hopefully!!

This all feels fairly significant.  What with the UK usually described as a 2.5 party system.  Have the Liberal democrats ever actually overtaken one of the big 2 or even been close?

They have frequently been close, but this time round they are actually getting results. Right now they are above Labour in most opinion polls and they have come fairly close to the Conservatives in a few others. This is certainly the strongest they've been.

But on the other hand, I know a couple people who were going to vote Labour strategically just to keep the Conservatives out. When the Liberal Democrats came into the spotlight the same people switched from Labour to Lib Dems as they felt that there was more of a chance by backing them.

So their popularity may just be a temporary snowball effect for this election only... In fact, I shouldn't say "may", it will.

Lib dems will still come third in the actual election though in terms of number of seats. It does look likely to be a hung parliament now, unless something happens in the next week.
