I remember watching the video that Farage was quoted from there.

They all lie.
Your ignorance is comical to say the least.
It was direct lie though, they're normally cleverer than that. He was suggesting replacing the NHS with private insurance. He's on tape doing it.
It's Farage tho. Doubt he can remember what he did last week.

Hell Yeah!
I wouldn't be surprised if Cameron's tactic tonight was to let these five parties highlight each other's weaknesses. I also wouldn't be surprised if it worked because I can't see anyone here worth voting for.
I swear stuff like this only helps galvanise UKIP's base, feeling as though there's a big conspiracy against them.

Ed Miliband appealing to the aggrieved competitive gamer in all of us with a 1v1 challenge.
That might just be a brilliant bit of electioneering. Very interesting to see if it snowballs and gathers any traction in the media or not. Could equally turn out to be a damp squib and quickly forgotten about.
yeah, it did a great job in deterring last Falklands war...

I agree - however the problem is that UKIP's base is actually quite small - they need to win a ton of votes from both Labour and Tories, and recently we've seen major cracks appear - and their polling gradually slide. I think the reality is starting to show here.
He should have said "any time any place Dave, and you can bring your boy, Clegg if you like."
Called him out on Twitter as well. https://twitter.com/Ed_Miliband/status/588802777284890625

Ed's just following in the footsteps of the master:
bring your pogs. We're playing for keeps.

I remember reading about the Tories wanting to chicken out of debates. How can the British media let them get away with that? If something like that happened in Sweden, they would have faced pretty much unanimous bashing from all media outlets, 24/7.
They did face a fair bit of bashing, but election debates are pretty new in the UK. We've only had them since 2010.

Most British media prefers the Conservative Party to the Labour Party, so they're never going to bash too hard.
Clegg could rule out working with the SNP, Alexander who probably needs snookers to keep his seat has to be a bit more pragmatic in the hope he can peel off soft SNP voters.

I wonder how many people kept watching for it.
Of course. But to paraphrase Peep Show, when the fucking starts and Europe gets carved up, we all know Churchill has to leave.

Tonight reaffirms my hope for a tory majority, I really don't feel like anyone on that stage has anything to contribute - especially those outside of Miliband.
The SNP having a large say would be, for me, the worst thing.
I'm hoping for a labour/libdem or tory /libdem government, as to me nothing would be worse than regional parties dictating national politics as their interests clearly aren't national.

Twitter poll, so scientifically bollocks
But suspect similar results from possible polling
If there were economists who had all the answers we wouldn't need politicians. I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word ignorance, in which case there would be a decent amount of irony in your post.
They never listened to the economists. The right has also poisoned the economics profession with the establishment of think tanks to peddle their fantasy nonsense. There is essentially no real debate, there is a wide consensus on what needs to be done. Politicians refuse to do it due to moneyed interests and/or ideology.
