Cameron 7/10: Finally looked like he was bothered about the campaign, he's been so lackadaisical so far it's like he couldn't be arsed. Thought he talked with sense and reason. Did get a bit flustered at times though.

Miliband: 4/10: He got absolutely roasted on the economy (shock of shocks) and clearly got bothered by it. IMO he has zero credibility in this area and of course it's the economy, stupid, that wins elections. Fared better on issues of fairness, so no change there really.

Clegg: 0/10: Was OK but everything he said is probably a lie.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Cameron was very good at ducking and diving and putting a deflecting positive spin on just about everything even the rotten bedroom tax. Clegg lost credibility years ago and Ed should not really be in politics at this level.

Awful choices to be made. Bunch of superficial w@nkers.

Bring back John Major.

I like Nick Clegg and think that he is probably the most genuine of the party leaders.

I am not convinced that come polling day that the student fees will will do as much harm as some think. It will certainly dent the LDs but not killer blow? I'm not so sure.

Like Cameron he's just saying what he needs to say to maximise his vote. Beyond that he's banking on the fact that the SNP need Labour as much as Labour need them. If you automatically have ideas that are more closely aligned to another party you don't need a deal as such.

The question is would the SNP vote down a Labour Queens speech? The answer is no. Would they vote down a Conservative one? Yes. Tories may well get a majority.. and they may well need one.

You can't take any of them seriously.

But following the election it looks like Tory and Labour will have roughly the same number of seats, give or take 5-10 either way.

Libs will lose probably around 20-30 seats, but that will still leave them with 35 or more, so they will potentially form part of the next coalition. My hunch is they'll throw their hand in with Labour this time.

He may not be able to eat a bacon sandwich convincingly, but he could well be the next PM!

Surely the best way to deal with 0 hour contracts is to make it a requirement that anyone offered a 0 hour contract is also offered a second contract with a certain amount of hours. Therefore it gives the employee the choice which contract to choose and if indeed they are the student type that wants 0 hours then they have that opportunity but also gets rid of the problems with people who can't get anything else.
