Burley's entire tone and body language is different with Miliband, the Tory boot that she is.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Ed seems more natural, Cameron was just regurgitating his scripts and avoiding questions.

Yeah, Ed has given some pretty reasonable answers so far. Especially his "underpromise and overdeliver" bit after Cameron just pulled £10bn in welfare savings out of his arse.

Oooh, very clever answer to the 'What do you admire about David Cameron?' question, flips it point out how backward the rest of the Conservative Party can be.

This is going much better than I expected.

Come Dine With Me: Election Special

Or a reboot of Trigger Happy TV, where a guy with a giant mobile phone shouts questions at them whilst an artist in an electric wheelchair drives around whilst drawing a charicature of them.

 

[DBT85]

Ed for pm

The amount of time it would take for Aardman to animate a full 5 years of Miliband would cost too much money.

Your idea is much better, of course.

 

[jonno394]

For the first time in my life UK be voting tories. I reckon labour will get in though with a deal much like current tories/lib dems one.

Yup that was good. He's dealing quite well with more difficult questions.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Why do they create brand new format for these two? They should have just inserted Cameron & Miliband into current Channel 4 programmes. I would love to see Ed trying to flirt with a woman on First Dates.

Oh man, Gogglebox would be great.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Kay Burley is very irritating.

Agreed, I like Cameron a lot but I'm far less keen on many of the other tories.

I still think Miliband will be the reason why the labour party lose this election if they do, I don't think he's particularly likeable.. Even if he did seem better tonight.

 

[jimbobsmells]

Kay Burley was a fucking disgrace. And now it's paxo. It's a trap Ed! Run!

 

[kharma45]

Kay Burley is very irritating.

At least we're back to Jezza now.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Posting to sub. Will be watching this closely

If I were British I'd be voting Labour or SNP

 

[Carl]

I'm sure you've all heard of my local constituency - Boston and Skegness. Safe Tory seat that will 100% go to UKIP this time around. Everyone i know is voting UKIP....

That's all there is to say really.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

The audience seems to have much tougher questions for Ed.
Kay Burley is acting differently as well.

 

[Empty]

miliband did well in audience i think, very focused, good presentation, slick answers. his smiles at some of the harsher questions made him seem more human than his reputation suggests. more hostile questions than to dave but makes sense for the devil you don't know etc.

kay burley is incredibly awful

 

[Maledict]

I feel bad for saying it, but Ed Miliband outperformed David Cameron hugely so far. He came across as a human - a geeky human, but a person none the less. The answers on Cameron's qualities, and the situation with his brother were really well done.

(Slightly too many bacon sandwich jokes for my liking, but understand why he was doing them).

 

[T-Rex.]

Can't stand Kay Burley

 

[kmag]

At least we're back to Jezza now.

You remember the bit in Jurassic Park with the goat?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

It would be a supply and confidence arrangement which in my opinion would be overall better for the country. The Lib Dems were played like a fiddle by the Conservatives.

I think, in lieu of an overall majority, it will be a better check and balance than a shadowy coalition agreement that is not published for the public to view.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

That's because Kay is a true blue Conservative and makes no effort to hide it, unlike Paxman, a true professional.

 

[JonathanEx]

I know a lot of people are "Kay harsher on Ed, unfair!" - and I guess there's a degree of 'one is Prime Minster', Kay probably was told to ramp it up as the first was boring.... but mainly, he coped. And he coped well, it doesn't matter.

 

[Jezbollah]

And how is that answer any better than me saying I'm voting Green? Are you ashamed of who you're voting for? I bet you're going UKIP, huh?

I wont be voting UKIP either.

My experience of the Greens (after several emails to and from my local party representative) paints a picture of a party who's policies are deeply misjudged and deeply mis-communicated to it's own members. They are a shambles of a party.

 

[dapperbandit]

Kay Burley is very irritating.

She just seems to revel in being a frosty ball breaker.

 

[Disagree Guy]

You Can tell Paxman is a Tory

It's a witch hunt.

Yup. Looking like a fairly comfortable Ed victory so far in the face of a stronger challenge. Still, Paxman is, as ever, the ultimate challenge!

But hey, at least it's a witch hunt done by a true professional

 

[FortuneFaded]

The world needs a gif of Ed drinking the water.

I'm all for more women leaders in politics, but the Greens need to get Patrick Harvie up to the big job. I don't think he'd want to leave Holyrood though.

She could break my balls any time.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Paxman is a cunt.

Yeah, he's good for grilling politicians, but he's still a cunt.

 

[Uzzy]

Oh dear. This is painful so far.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Damn, wrongfooted Paxman there: "Yeah, we were wrong."

I'm actually warming to Ed here.

 

[kharma45]

Getting flustered.

 

[Bo-Locks]

This is bad.

 

[Texar]

Does Milliband actually have any policies or is he just there to apologise for the last labour government?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

He's... handling Paxman fairly well, too? What is this? What have they done with the real Ed Miliband?

 

[Disagree Guy]

To be fair that's all he's being asked about.

 

[Masquerader]

Wow, speech-wise, Miliband's actually almost impressive here. Never saw THAT coming, as much as I like him.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Did you not watch Paxo grill Cameron in exactly the same manner?

Cameron is just better at dealing with this.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Ed's doing worse than Cameron here but some passion is coming through in a way that it rarely has for him.

Got those red tinted glasses on Crab?

 

[Dabanton]

Milliband is doing well so far, Paxman is trying to trick him into answering silly questions.

 

[MGL]

Less about the previous Labour government. I want more about the possible new government Paxman.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I don't see how you can think he's doing worse than Cameron? I mean, I'll hands up admit I have reasons to be biased, but trying to stand back for a moment: he's a) showing a ton more passion than Cameron, and b) is delivering some pretty reasonable arguments that sound less waffley than Cameron's did.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Yep.

 

[Empty]

miliband has got himself in quicksand. cameron obfuscated and let paxman move on to a different topic asap.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Ed has got the advantage of being less connected to New Labour than his brother was.
