Their only problem is that there is also another rather larger audience watching her. Yep, I'm sure she'll engineer far more green MPs after her so-staggering performances on radio and TV - way out of proportion to her and her lunatic fringe party's status and importance by the way.
Hearing her not even get Eddie Mair's jibes on PM yesterday was hysterical, as indeed is she.
I am not too worried by the greens, five thirty eight have a 90% confidence that they will remain with their one seat. And 538 are pretty accurate at their predictions. Hearing her not even get Eddie Mair's jibes on PM yesterday was hysterical, as indeed is she.

These unbalanced BBC audiences are really annoying.
Ask Harman how she will save money and she tells you how she will spend more on child care!
Hague is absolutely right that if people vote for labour and taxing the rich it it the easy targets in the middle on Paye like me that will Be the ones who actually pay.
Bored of food banks too. They were called a harvest festival when I was at school. Free food, yes please!

Because she wasn't happy that the term 'magic money tree' was used. Bless!
To be honest I thought that was a fair comment from her about ifs (who are probably relatively sane). If equality and a change of paradigm is high on your priority then greens give it to you. And the chaos that ensues of course! At least this is a choice though,the other option being labour who sell 'fairness' but don't know if they are for the unemployed, work poor, or new labour blairites. And of course they don't really want to change the system, so taxing the rich is just bull! Normal 'hard working' people will be the ones worse off.FarleyRusk said:

Just caught the last 10 mins, which was summed up by Natalie Bennett damning the IFS for using "Conventional economics" to deride their plans.
Indeed.

Food Banks used to be known as charity under Labour. Is such a nonsense. Political motivated advocacy.
I'm wondering if the immigration issue may yet become the surprise topic/event that sways this election result what with what's happening in the Med. the elephant in the room that much of the populace here (nor Europe) really do not want 100,000s of people coming to the UK and they deep down know (and will have to admit) anyone picked has to go back or else the 500k on the shore of Libya and 500k in the deserts Libya (As Andrew Neil said on TW) will be joined by millions more coming this way, and as Portillo let slip not returned to their country of origin but just dumped back on the shore of North Africa (to hisses from the TW audience). Could it still play much larger at the election in the last weeks before polling and play to UKIP?

Not sure who I would like to punch - Natalie Bennett, Nicola Salmon, Piers Morgan or Russell Brand
All 4 seems favourite.
did you deliberatley say Salmon not Salmond or Sturgeon.All 4 seems favourite.
Just 4 I could probably take that up to 40 the front bench of the opposition would be a good start.
It's the QT leaders' debate tonight.
The Conservatives and Labour aren't happy with the make up of the audience.

[quote=Le Pop]I look forward to the Scottish Nationalist Party's announcement that thay are changing their name to the British Anti Austerity Party.
No, I thought not. The clue is in the name.[/quotte
What amuses me is the way that parties like the SNP,(and countries like Greece) think they can `wish away' debt simply by declaring they will they will `get rid of austerity'.
That is like me declaring I don't have a mortgage anymore, and not paying it (when in reality I do) or after having a meal in a restaurant, declaring the bill I have been given is just oppression, and refusing to pay it.
Like it or not, the UK ran up big national debt during the 13 years that labour were in office, and it is currently undergoing the pain / hardship needed to carry on paying every day living expenses, whilst paying off that debt at the same time.
If anyone needs to know why times are hard `now' they should address that question to labour.
