The Debate (Part 2)

Here's what I think during the second debate.

- Everyone wearing the correct tie. Cameron using purple this week, next week it must be Clegg's.

Europe:
- Gordon Brown just lied about the social chapter. We had paid holidays before.
- Nick Clegg starts using a example. We had enough of those last week.
- Cameron looking a bit more assured.
- Cameron is being more emotive.
- Gordon Brown was foolish to attack Clegg - he came across as petulant.

Afghanistan:
- Cameron makes best case on Afghanistan.
- Brown makes impassioned defence of our forces.
- Clegg makes a good response about the vehicles being used and breaking down.
- Trident makes its appearance. Clegg is good here - even if I disagree with him.
- Cameron agree's with Gordon!

Environment:
- Gordon Brown goes solar.
- Some jokes from Cameron.
- Nick Clegg is human when he says he can't do enough. He's brave bringing up his air travel tax. People don't know about that.
- Cameron, attack Clegg on his air tax!
- Clegg "hold your horses" will be the soundbite.
- Gordon Brown seems strong here on the energy balance.
- Clegg is winning again, I think

Pope (what!):
- Clegg not as good here.
- Brown is putting on a better performance.
- They all agree.
- Brown is very string here.

Expenses and faith in politics:
- Same as last time in the statements about this.
- Cameron, now is your chance.
- Cameron made his point about the big society at lasy. Now hammer it home.
- Inheritance again....
- Gordon Brown is a cracked record.

Pensions:
- All want to bring back the earnings link.
- Some passion from Cameron. Go for it.
- Cameron is getting very passionate. Love it. It's now coming alive - he tells GB that the leaflets are lies and he should be ashamed.
- Clegg is making me want to hurl, being so consensual on elderly care.
- Cameron needs to mention the robbing of our pensions by GB.
- Now on elderly care - covered it last week.

Coalition Government:
- Cameron makes a good case for cutting the NI increase.
- Gordon Brown can't help himself referring to the Lib Dems as Liberals.
- 'Taking money out of the economy' - it's driving me f***ing mad. Someone tell the idiot that it is not taking money out of the economy.
- Cameron missed the opportunity again.

Immigration yet again:
- Did this last week.
- This is depressing me now.
- Good point by Clegg about 900,000 people living in the shadows.

Closing statements:
- Gordon Brown. Broken record time.
- David Cameron does the Big Society again.
- Nick Clegg mentions difference but doesn't provide any. Good ending.

Too many issues were covered last week. Nearly gave up.

Squiffy.
