Hi YR... How's your toothache ??

Unless I've misunderstood, seeing as it's not happened before, if neither Labour or Tories receive an overall majority the Lib Dems choose which of the two parties to align with

Ah right, ta much

I think that's right, anyway Like YR says, they then have to rely on other parties to push through their agenda...

I see YR. Thankyou

Not going with policy then...just popularity!!!

Hiya Baz  it's a little better today thankfully  I'm still doing the salt water gargle as I really don't like the idea of seeing the dentist and needles lol

Thanks everyone. I have to go to bed now...............BAH! this work thing  I'm off on holiday next week though

Personally I've not heard him say that but haven't heard everything they've all been saying. I heard him the other day talking about it and he mentioned it would be with which party he thought had policies similar to his or ones that he could work with, but who knows

Awwww.... I hate dentists too....But  perhaps it will have cleared up by tomorrow

Nick Clegg impressed me the most but did not like when he said he would scrap our nuclear deterrant and not sure his figures would add up,David Cameron kept evading the two questions put to him by Gordon Brown dont trust him or the tories, Gordon Brown had more substance in what he was saying imo and that is who I will be voting for

Democracy.

What on Earth is a "nuclear deterrent" Spidey

A nuclear deterrent is the phrase used to refer to a country's nuclear weapons arsenal, when considered in the context of deterrence theory.

Deterrence theory holds that nuclear weapons are intended to deter other states from attacking with their nuclear weapons, through the promise of retaliation and mutually assured destruction (MAD). It can also be assigned as a response to an attack by conventional forces; for example, the doctrine of massive retaliation threatened to launch US nuclear weapons in response to Soviet attacks.

In order for a nuclear deterrent to be successful, a country must preserve its second-strike capability. A nuclear deterrent is sometimes composed of a nuclear triad, as in the case of the nuclear weapons owned by the United States. Other countries, such as the United Kingdom, have only sea-based nuclear weapons.

So the USA would never attack us whilst we have Trident?

Really glad our nuclear "deterent" is keeping us all safe and sound

"saftey breaches" ! Sounds like an insult from an Oor Wullie annual

On the upside, we can't use them without the Usa's say so, so we aren't gonna accidentally blow China up if Cameron gets in

Well firstly the USA would never attack us so that was an unusual example.  The USA and UK have been close allies for the past 70+ years.  The US military continues to have a permanent presence on UK soil in the form of Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Fylingdale and Fairford air bases so they'd probably want to clear all their personnel out of these areas before dropping any nukes.

I've known for ages who i'm voting for so didn't bother watching, found the PS3 more interesting.



Loving Onetoo's avatar DX.

You got an online account for PS3 Darlo?

Well, yes, we will have voted them in...but he will choose the one with the most votes, rather than taking their policies into account...well that's how it sounded! And that is not necessarily the bes option!

Nick Clegg spoke better because he had nothing to lose...there's not a snowballs chance of the Lib Dems ever being able to form a government. From personal experience, having lived under a Lib Dem Council and MP for the last 10 yrs or so....I am very pleased that this is the case.

Totally staged and carefully scripted nonsense,I avoided it.

It would have been much better if there had been some booing, cheering and clapping allowed ... I was looking for a more amphitheatre atmosphere

 Yes.... I could have gone with the old thumb down sign Hi Rexi

Was I the only one to stick with HIGNFY and Outnumbered?
I watched the post mortem on Question Time. I hope that the electorate will vote either Labour or Conservative. Much as though apparently he made a good fist of the debate his policies suck and where is he going to find a government?

No Joe I watched HIGNFY but I don't watch outnumbered,gave the "Debate" a miss.

One thing mentioned in the debate was heraditary peers - sorry I think I got the spelling wrong on that.  These should be stopped asap.  After all why should Mark Thatcher be a Sir simply because of his mother.

I don't believe Mark will inherit any title from his mother. Margret Thatcher was given a Life Peerage as a Baroness - it's not hereditary. Mark did inherit the Baronetcy of Scotney from his father, Dennis, but although that allows him to style himself "Sir" it doesn't entitle him to a place in the House of Lords like his mother.
