SodjesSixteenIncher Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 7/4 on Romania getting a mention btw. Nearly put a fist through the laptop when Wood mentioned a few Eastern European countries but not Romania. Luckily Naughty Nige saved the day with a quick swipe at the pesky Romanians just at the end of the immigration section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete's Frontier Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Only one person took risks, was personable, passionate and and swam against the tide. The rest were scripted, stilted consensus talking heads, including Mrs Sturgeon. Guess who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest were scripted, stilted consensus talking heads, including Mrs Sturgeon. Guess who? ... CON - 37% (+1) LAB - 35% (+1) UKIP - 12% (-1) LDEM - 7% (-1) GRN - 5% (+1) Latest YouGov poll. Is this where we begin to see the return to the two main parties, in England at least? That percentage is higher than the Tories got in 2010 I think. And yet Naughty Nige's Non PC Political Earthquake is going to achieve the square root of f**k all in this election. Hard lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Gorilla Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Fair play to anybody who bet Sturgeon. I'd never have had her winning beforehand but she was by far the best tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 There will be a lot of Labour Party activists and voters through the UK wishing that Miliband was saying what Sturgeon did on a number of issues tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodjesSixteenIncher Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 People will (correctly at points) call that a clusterfuck but I actually enjoyed it and think the 7 panelist format offers a much more interesting debate. Clegg did so well in the last debate simply because Labour and Conservatives retorting to each other with nothing but "well here's what you did in office" is a depressingly boring level of political discussion. A few alternative voices gets a bit messy at times but it's worth it to break that monontony. I'm obviously biased but do try and judge these things impartially and I'm delighted at Sturgeon's performance there. Feel like rewatching a series of Borgen of something to get more of the same.

Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That was much better than i'd expected. Sturgeon was measured and overall did superbly well. Cameron and Milliband were just a series of utterly boring, condescending responses of "you did that", "aye but you did that". Tedious pish. Clegg standing up to Cameron was five years too late. Bennett and Wood did OK-ish, and Farage was for the most part, a sweating mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 There will be a lot of Labour Party activists and voters through the UK wishing that Miliband was saying what Sturgeon did on a number of issues tonight. Labour would have a hell of a lot more of both if they still were the Labour Party. The shameless charge towards a mythical centre ground in the 80s has led to a country run not by political parties but by the businesses which fund them. I just hope that people down here watched Nicola tonight and felt the first pangs of jealousy replacing the anti-Scots racist agenda which has bubbled along for years before coming to the boil last year.

GTG_03 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Leanne Wood losing is a bit of a joke really, think Sturgeon stole all her limelight but she was very competent and hopefully appealed well to the Welsh. I agree, I thought she was competent if not brilliant and certainly ahead of Bennett. Sturgeon stole the show tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Aye it's a good night to be Scottish or Welsh and left of centre. Both did their parties proud IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete's Frontier Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Mrs Sturgeon seemed to approve of the 2bn a year health tourism when Farage raised the issue, this is the stuff you all think brilliant. I suppose when you're getting free money on the Barnett formula vs Wales's NHS poverty it's easy to be an international health charity. Diversity is our strength she said, Scotland with a fraction of the ethnic mix and migration of England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
