Seems the public didn't see it that way either. I wonder how much influence the hostile studio audience has on the typical viewer idiot.

Despite getting an ludicrously easy ride Cameron came across really poorly. But then I hate the spoon-faced prick, so I guess I'm biased.

I expected Paxman to be holding aloft Miliband's still beating-heart by the end of the interview but he did okay, despite some pretty despicable questions - "people see you as just a North London geek", "people say they wish your brother was in charge instead of you".

That audience was clearly rigged too.

Just calling elections whenever you fancy them was better than this new system, another six weeks of this will be beyond tiresome. It seems the media and 'the Establishment' are basically right-wing in this country so any vaguely left-leaning Labour politician has to fight tooth-and-nail to overcome that inherent bias. It's not like Miliband is Arthur Scargill either.

It's going to be a Tory government, isn't it? 

On the plus side, at least we might hasten pace toward the massive civil uprising we probably need.

If posting pics of tampons on instagram is the current metric for civil unrest, then I doubt the tories are quaking in their boots just yet.

I appear to have been shunted from the initial ward that I was down for, the town centre, to one about 4 miles outside of Preston, which isn't even one of the ones I ever discussed. I don't know if I can even get to them to to get the signatures I need to stand in the first place, since I don't drive. Which means I may have to withdraw.

Didn't watch the tv thing. Voting Green.

Ed did good.

I will eat my Wii if we end up with a Labour "government".

On behalf of Australians I would like to apologise for Rupert Murdoch existing and infesting UK media.

There are a lot of Greens around these parts.

Greens have got a lot of radical, socialist ideas that I agree with - renationalising the railways, scrapping tuition fees, mass house building. There's little to indicate they've got detailed plans for how these policies can be implemented but at least they're saying these things.

Aside from the policy website that details how it will be implemented you mean?

The greens have no hope of winning though, so all their good intentions are worth next-to-nothing, sadly.

I'd like to see them do well but they won't do well enough to make much of a difference. IMO, of course.

No one seems likely to win though. The Greens if they keep their (or is it just 'our' at this point?) seat they will bloc together with the SNP and Plaid. Might even win another.

If you dont vote for what you want, you'll never get it. I'm not looking at this election. I'm looking long term at fundamental reform of the system.

Actually I'll take your word for it. The prospect of sifting through an obscure index of Green Party policy commitments doesn't appeal.

It will be a Tory victory, subdued by some stereotypical leftist element yet again.
