The latest leaders’ election debate on Sky News on the 22nd April at 8pm; tell us what you thought of it.  Who handled it best and why?

Did you miss the debate?  Catch up here and then tell us what you think!

I think David Cameron made many sensible points about conservative policies but I think after a third debate I’m going to get bored of hearing the word “change”. I get it that the country wants change. We just want to hear more about how they are going to change it for the better not just that you will provide “change”.

i dont think any of them did

nick clegg. again….....

Cameron was blatantly just copying nick clegg’s tactics by staring into the camera with his puppy dog eyes.  Hopefully we can all see through that.  I really didn’t feel that Cameron was genuine is his emotion, all feels a bit staged to me.  Reckon Brown is out of the running now to be honest.  Come on nick!

Brown upped his performance from last week, which wasn’t difficult mind.  Cameron seems SO desperate to be PM it’s a right put-off and I’m still not buying into his relentless ‘change’ mantra.  Clegg has yet to say anything that I agree with.  Everyone’s saying it’s a 3-horse race now… there’s only 2 contenders for me.

I thought that Cameron was copying Clegg’s tactics from last week in using the word ‘change’. Brown kept lumping the Tories and Lib Dems together as ‘the other parties’, much as Clegg did last week in lumping the Tories and Labour together. Basically, Brown and Cameron seem to have watched the first debate back numerous times to see what made Clegg so likeable, and copied him almost exactly! ‘Get real’ Brown and Cameron, we want to see you, not a poor imitation of Clegg.

Clegg comes across as a genuine and nice enough bloke.  But I just can’t picture him at No. 10…

None of them came across as genuine. They all looked like some kind of spiv after your granny’s last fiver, and they’d do anything to get it. Its all lies and spin from all of them as when they get in they will throw all they have said into the rubbish bin and do whatever they want anyway. Snouts back in the troughs boys (and girls).

The problem with the debates is that its the spin doctors who tells them what to say. I do not trust ANY of the 3 major politicians. The expenses scandal last year proved they are all corrupt fat cats who only want to line their own pockets at the expense of the electorate.

Tonight’s debate will be the final test!

I agree - I want to know specifics of what change he intends on implementing. It’s too much vague talk.

The irony is that the Conservatives in reality are about less change all in all or changing back rather than forwards. It’s ingrained in their orientation (the clue is in ‘conservative’).
