Glad to hear Ed's improving. From what you're all posting it seems Sturgeon is having the best of it :( (Still don't care how tribal I appear). My (partisan) order so far. Sturgeon 9 Miliband 7 Wood, Bennett 5 Clegg, Cameron 3 Farage 2 (that HIV spiel was awful). That's roughly my impression, thoug...

He's responding to all the Q's as we expected he would. Measured, calm and addressing the points.

Thanks Refitman

Unless you take that wavy line thing as the sole indicator, I think it's impossible to tell although, as someone has already observed, Nicola Sturgeon is coming over well. Wavy line :?: Sorry PF, you've lost me. :? There's an audience reaction moving line (like a clap-ometer, only different) on the...

I have to say, the feared Plaid+Green+SNP vs Labour hasn't really happened yet. They have mostly been concentrating on Cameron & Clegg. Glad that it hasn't (how much longer to go?). Not sure I like the fact that Sturgeon is coming over well, probably means more votes in Scotland for the SNP. I ...

Why do I get the impression this 7 way debate is a waste of time? This is thanks to Cameron and the broadcasters caving in to him. TGS had the right idea, we'd all be better off watching The Big Bang Theory. Sounds like it'd be more insightful.

@ RobertSnozers I think a lot of people "don't like" Alex Salmond to the point where they wouldn't want him having a finger in their affairs (that sounds vaguely obscene - but it's late so I'll have to go with it). How much that will translate into some kneejerk reaction against a party t...

This business about Farridge and his family. Perhaps the protesters made a mistake - but I had to laugh at some of pictures I've seen on Twitter.
