I think this may prove to be the more civilised of the debates; having 7 parties there appears to have worked as Dave intended, with most of it consisting of little more than put downs and assertions galore. Ultimately a PR exercise with little substance or focus. So much of it was dominated by the NHS... It's a fair comment that of the past 5 years, 2 have been spent gearing up for the next election, which just aggravates the short termism of it all.
Moving does seem increasingly appealing.Last edited by Zero Liability; 2 April 2015, 23:38.Comment

Sturgeon did well. Mainly because she got a free ride.
Allowed to make snarky comments about (the English politicians) Cameron, Miliband, Clegg and Farage and because the Scotland isn't the main election battleground no one bothered to have a go back.
Farage did throw in scrapping the Barnett formula which hopefully one day soon will wipe the smile off her scrounging face.Comment

Agreed, had they more time or wherewithal to respond to her, she wouldn't have had such a good showing. I find her and that PC woman obnoxious and patronising. Mostly spouting off feel good platitudes rather than engaging in a frank discussion.
Again it was frustrating that the NHS took up so much of the time when all the parties acknowledge it has issues and are committed to keeping it funded.Comment
