Big J R Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Anyone watched our 'so-called' political party leaders in their television 'debates' ?? If they spent as much time trying to sort out this country as they do trying to score points of each other and generally slagging the opposing parties off, we might, just MIGHT have a decent country to live in. I'm not going to watch any more of them as I've already decided exactly how my vote will be cast ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 To be honest, I started to watch it, got bored and turned it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romford boy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I watched it all the way through, but like Simon found most of it boring. For me the star of the show was Nicola Sturgeon. Once again Ed Miliband proved the way he is portrayed by the right-wing gutter press is way off the mark, and he is really looking PM material now. Cameron looked smarmy and nervous, and small wonder he chickened out of a one to one with Miliband. Farage looked like the buffoon he is, and his remarks about HIV will cost UKIP dearly. Clegg performed well, but his betrayal on tuition fees will never be forgiven, or forgotten. The Welsh leader performed as well as she could but was out of her depth, and the Green Party leader has possibly the best policies but doesn't have the charisma of Caroline Lucas. IMO the largest party will be Labour who will probably form some sort of coalition with the far more progressive SNP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Heard Nicola Sturgeon performed really well. I think the way Ed Miliband stood up to Paxman in the other "debate" showed that he had more backbone than the public were lead to believe. I just got the impression when I started watching it that there were too many pre-rehearsed speeches and sound bites going around from the main parties for my liking.

romford boy Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If Nicola Sturgeon was leading the Labour Party Im convinced we would be looking forward to a Labour landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 If Nicola Sturgeon gets involved in any coalition, she will only work for the Scots and try to scupper any English reforms. In my view, she is more dangerous that Alex Salmond. I can't see Farage and Ukip ever getting involved with a Labour minority to form a power base.

Rhodes Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The Leaders Debates on tv prior to the election were really good value and I feel the reason why David Cameron romped home so comfortably, he came across as cool calm and collected and head and shoulders above the other beleaguered leaders apart from Nicola Sturgeon who, as Cup of Tea and Romford Boy said, performed exceptionally well and good luck to her, she seems to know her onions.

Quite so, to coin a phrase. Lets just wait and see if we do ever get a referendum vote on Europe as promised. Somehow, I really doubt it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
