Sturgeon was fantastic tonight.

Clegg looked like a child in Marks and Spencer's trying not to make a fuss when his parents are fighting.

I wonder if Sturgeon would ever think about switching to Labour...? She could be very easily be their leader and UK PM judging by tonight, rather than just Queen of Scotland...

Farage go home. you're drunk.

Clear win for Sturgeon, if only the SNP stood across the whole UK. Farage had just about the worst performance I've ever seen from him, a massive loss.

Miliband had a good first half (and a way into the second) but faded badly by the end, which probably wont hurt him too much as these things tend to tail off.

Cameron was just... there? He was oddly subdued and sidelined for a sitting PM, not necessarily bad, just, a bit of a damp squib.

Wood and Bennett wish they were Sturgeon, but they were nowhere.

Am i missing something, how is Sturgeon besting everyone? Didn't think she was that good, and dont really trust her. If she got in power would she give free prescriptions and uni south of the border?

Agree with whoever said government dont make jobs, said that to my missus.

Eds main argument was 'use your vote' it was as if he didnt have a credible answer.

The welsh woman was a waste of space.

Green party just wants to spend Spend spend.

Cameron was slightly less wet than ed, but still shit.

Think they were all worried by farage and tried to dismiss him using the same poor argument, which was that he was scaremongering.

I reckon Can did exactly what he wanted to do. Stayed out of most of the fray, didnt make any mistakes and thats it now, early bath for him. He's done.

Bennet was awful.

Miliband did okay I guess.

Cameron was basically asleep.

Clegg was like a desperate ex trying to win you back.

Whatshername from Plaid was pointless.

Farage was a nutter like normal.

Sturgeon won the show.

People think Miliband beat Cameron? Seems like more than anyone he had some heat on him. Cameron was always going to have a rough ride, and handled it reasonably well, but Miliband didn't come off all that strong IMO.

Sturgeon bossed it.

I think Ed looked stronger than Dave too.

Nigel had a shocking 1st half but steadied in the 2nd half, Nick looked weak throughout until he attacked Ed.

Bennett is ResidentSleeper. Wood didn't really get enough time, but looked good with what she had.

Id go for a rating of;

1. Sturgeon
2. Miliband
3. Cameron
4. Farage
5. Wood
6. Clegg
7. Bennett

Yeah, I think both the big two managed to stay above the fray for the most part. The smaller parties mostly burnt themselves out, SNP aside.

Sturgeon, Bennett and Wood were all good, Sturgeon especially was excellent. Ed and Cam looked sidelined at times, don't think it will change the flow of the Mili vs Cam aspect of the election.

Cameron was a total void. He actually sucked energy out of the room.

Clegg's entire message just felt too familiar. I'm not sure if it's just salt in the wounds over the coalition's track record but I think he's just dead weight for that party now.

Gotta say, I'm considering voting green and I don't think Bennett sold the party well. I wouldn't rate her as the worst but she wasn't really sniping like Sturgeon or even Wood.

Bit surreal seeing my good friend in the audience. Saw him quite a bit when they panned to the lady who asked the final question.

Why do they even both interviewing party members on how their own leader did? Pointless farce.

Looks like I'm still voting for the Greens, since they're focused on decriminalsing cannabis, sorting the environment out and such.

Bennet is going to undo all the progress the Greens made with their last leader, she looked like she was bricking it during the final speech.

Miliband says some of the right things, but I don't want him as leader, he's not leadership material. Clegg made his bed now he has to lay in it.

That the SNP put on the strongest show just proves what a shitfest UK politics is.

Sturgeon was very good, more than held her own against the alleged heavyweights of British Politics. Cameron was just about better than Miliband, but there was barely anything in it. Farage was utterly shocking, but I'm sure his statements will be lapped up by his voting base. Clegg actually got some applause, so that was impressive. Wood didn't really impose herself, sadly. Bennett was also depressingly bad.

The real winner was the Worm though.

Yep. I was thinking Green, but Bennett is turrible.

I'm still a 50:50 split between spoiling my ballot or voting looney, depending on how I feel on election day. Hitler himself would win in my constituency as long as he was wearing a blue rosette
