Reality Check

Reality check, people. If you vote for the libdems on the basis of Clegg-over being able to string more than two sentences together you're going to be in for a big surprise. You see, the libdems have policies...barmy policies...like Not sending burglars, thugs convicted of GBH, etc. to prison if their sentences are under 6 months. Giving prisoners the right to vote. Joining the Euro (and turning into an even larger version of Greece). An amnesty on illegal immigrants. Mansion Tax. Dropping Trident...

...I could go on, but instead I think I'll give you the most important reason not to vote for the libdems. Vote Yellow, get Brown. Quite simple. If you want the most atrocious prime minister in our history to remain in Downing Street then crack on! If not...put the socks and sandals away, shave that beard and replace that organic fairtrade mungbean salad with a nice thick, bloody steak. Be a man (or woman) not a mouse.

The most predictable 90 minutes of my life...

Clegg gets an exposure boost, comes out reasonably but overdoes the 'plague on both your houses' schtick.

Score: 6/10

Brown, in the words of one 'pber' coming across as, and I quote, 'an overweight camp vampire!' He's too busy trying to lay pointless elephant traps which Cameron is completely ignoring. 2/10 (Because at least he did that funny, smiley, bouncing on his feet thing from the Youtube video)

Cameron came across as reasonable, assured and set out what he wanted to do. He didn't get as much airtime as the others (And ITV need to answer why that was) but he got his points across best in a manner the public would understand. 7/10

It was always going to end up like this. If you're a died in the wool labour voter you've got to fear for the next two debates.

Thanks Postie!

Well, my polling card arrived today so I'm all set for the 6th, don't think my vote will help overturn a 16,000 majority but it'd be nice to see a decent tory showing in the Rhondda for once. I can't really be bothered to try tactical voting as Labour and Plaid are two cheeks of the same arse and they'd only form a coalition with the red rabble if it came down to it anyway.

Oh, and got my niknaks and tizer in for the debate on Thursday....I don't think I'll be satisfied unless it ends with Brown on his knees pounding the floor with impotent rage screaming 'You're wrong....you're all wrong!'.

Wake me up in a month

Jesus....day one of the campaign and I'm bored already. Can't we just vote and be done with it!
