Cameron - "I dont like scaremongering" - dont make me laugh, you do it all the time you smug git, hung parliaments, the EU, trident, taxation, he and his party never stop, none of them can claim the high ground on that one.

Brown is really terrible, all he does is try to attack others and scare people. He is not even saying that Labour will do a better job, he kinda wants to continue the way it is.

Clegg handled that well imo, handled the accusation without looking like political bickering.

the simple fact is that markets dont like uncertainty... hung parliament = uncertainty.

the pound would get hammered and the markets would fall quite sharply, its a fact.

that, in the current economic situation, would be very bad.

fearmongering nonsense, the pound will be fine, so will co-allition government, it will also be more democratic as more partys and views get heard.

What? If the pound depreciated, that could be a good thing...

SHIT! I agree with Brown on banks!!!

Clegg hasnt got a scooby what he is talking about... anyone that knows anything about banking would know what Clegg just said was utter utter bollocks and completely incorrect factually.

This is one instance where I think the Lib Dems are going after popular public opinion steming from the anti-bank feelings around at the minute without having a well thought out policy. As much as I feel Labour are offering nothing of value in this campaign I do think they (and unfortunately in particular Brown) have the best 'grasp' of the economy.

how many fund managers, forex brokers and economic advisers to international banks do you speak to on a daily basis?

I speak to lots...  

I just dont think the Pound is gonna nose dive if we have a hung parliament, ive yet to see or hear anything that actually says why this would happen, its always tory fans saying it and they never explain it.

spell out for me, here and now:

1. why would a hung parliament make the pound go down, and I want hard facts, proof from other nations, not just "because it will".

2. why is the pound being worth less going to hurt the economy?
