With the election called for 6th May, tonight sees the first ever live television debate between the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat party leaders.
Just shocking how high the quality of this debate compared to the one we had yesterday

even though labour had come to their demise, and David cameron was a positive difference - at the time, gordon brown was probably the most ideal candidate for prime minister at the time. And lets not forgot would have not made a catastrophic decision to have a referendum. And as being chancellor for the better of 10 years + i think he understood the economy better than anyone else... anyway thats my opinion. the change was needed but was directed, later, in the wrong way. cameron looked positive for sure. Change was needed at the time but he made a catastrophic decision which was clearly down to his judgement of understanding the people. which obviously, tories always have a difficult time understanding what the working class want. Lesson 101 - you cant give the people too much power. thsts where cameron went wrong.

@@kingthomasthehun8408 Yes we can always remember Cameron as Mr. Referendum. I think that ultimately where he got it wrong: being too democratic. By giving more power to people and allowing extreme idealistic politics (e.g. 'getting back our borders or getting back our waters') policies to radicalise the British people. In conclusion, the demise of Cameron and now we pay the price of not reaping the benefits of being in Europe.

Good campaign, then proceeded to kill the lib dems electoral chances for decades. The frontbench mps who would be prepared to work with the tories had to come from the orange book wing rather than the likes of Kennedy who would never have went into government, destroyed the balance of the party and removed all the labour leaning voters who would vote lib dem tactically. Seats lime Brent Central, Sheffield Hallam, and Cambridge are never going to be won by the lib dems again

And by the way the UK is never “out of money”, a nation is not budgeted in the same way as a household. If there are still people then there is still money, but under the Tories so many were economically disenfranchised and dispossessed of their real human value through cuts to the welfare state and unemployment assistance.

@@danielhuelsman76That didn’t really explain anything… Gordon Brown (the Prime Minister) hoped to sort of “bear hug” Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg and blunt his impact by saying he was in agreement with him and his party on many issues. Unfortunately for him, in the heat of the moment Brown frequently resorted to just saying “I agree with Nick”, which became a rallying cry for Clegg in what was already a very good debate for him.
