I feel sorry for the poor moderator. He's got quite a job on his hands.

Plus he is a bit of a twat.

Dunno who he is, don't tend to hang around ITV.

It's only good for the Champions League.

Nothing about the enviroment. I'd like to see trident scrapped and the NHS working efficiently, but if the planet's dead, what does any of that matter?

Seems the people who bothered to watch the debate are making a slightly more reassuring choice.

Sadly, I worry that lots of the people who'll just minlessly follow their partisanship programming wont have bee watching. Adding them in would probably turn things on its head a bit

ITV poll says 43% for Clegg, 26% for Cameron, and 20% for Brown.

My only worry is that the Lib Dems will take votes away from Labour and not the Tories, which means if the Lib Dems don't get enough votes, the Conservatives will win.

I'd say it's worth the risk and bypassing tactical voting this time round

Bet365 have the Lib Dems 100/1 to win the most seats at the election. I think i'll put £10 on that tomorrow, I could use a grand.

I'd imagine they might be changing their odds a bit after tonight, best get in early.

Just went to do an online bet and they changed it to 66/1.

They don't miss a beat.

Clegg gained ground. Brown held his ground. Cameron lost ground.

There was a lot more proper argument going on than I thought there might be - a few raised voices and a bit of emotion on show. It will be interesting to see how the three of them change their stances in the next couple of rounds - remember, this was just jockeying for position - the spin-doctors and analysts are going to be busy advising their guys on how to nail things in the next rounds.

That's how Thatcher managed to win so many terms. I'd say your worry is well founded.

From the facebook group: We got Rage Against the Machine to #1, we can get the Lib Dems into office!

Cameron's face is like a loaf of bread. I want to shred it and feed it to some ducks.

Great political insight, I know...

Clegg won, for what it's worth.
