Those 2010 lefty students who voted for the LibDems based on selfish reasons were obviously pretty clueless with very much to learn about the way these things work in reality. No doubt the LibDems would honour their student promises in the unlikely event that they ever returned a majority of seats and thus could form a Government. Fat chance.

Now they have got the hump Big Time and one thing is certain, students or not, they have much to learn. For some there's the rub. Now off back to their true leftward leanings still convinced the LibDems broke a promise most folks knew they would never be in a position to honour.

Interesting. That those on the right found this session balanced for once, probably meant that it did indeed lean to the right rather than to the left or far to the left for a change. So bloody what!
rubbish.

it's not about left or right, it's about asking real questions and not clapping at everything that clearly is populist bull.

the reality-gap on the last debate was laughable no matter if you support the left or right.

They had a chap from Buzzfeed on Radio 4's PM that's from York. They seemed to be making it about the Yorkshire audience telling it how it is, and perhaps feeling a bit left out as population wise there's more people in Yorks. than in Scotland.

So rather than it being a right wing or left wing bias, or QT being a bit toothless and lame they made it about the Yorkshire audience and also the people of Yorks. not being too happy with candidates being parachuted into constituencies which could be the case with Miliband and Clegg.

According to the polls that unhappiness may be about to bite Clegg on the arse.

On the Guido Fawkes website I saw some mention of the Ashcroft poll for Clegg's seat and a reference to Guido having a bet on the result there.

Tonight at half 8.

bbc said:
David Dimbleby presents a special Friday edition of Question Time on the night after the general election. With the results in, this is the first chance to get the public's reaction, as the Question Time audience quizzes leading politicians about what the result means for the country.

Panellists include Labour's former director of communications Alastair Campbell, Conservative cabinet minister Francis Maude, former leader of the Liberal Democrats Paddy Ashdown, Scotland's deputy first minister John Swinney MSP and broadcaster and columnist Julia Hartley-Brewer.
