It's a joke, you have Labour or Tory. Both support ruining the country through fracking, both of whom work for the banks, both of whom have war merchants in their ranks, both of whom who promise more austerity. The system is broke because the banks got rich crashing the system and richer still after the crash. Yet, HSBC is still allowed on street corners? Seriously? No penalties despite their crimes all around the world? The government signed off deals to basically let it go? You try doing that and see where you end up. It's a banana republic.

Why is there even an election when the two main parties might as well be in a dictatorship? Oh, it's the illusion of chance. There is no chance, it is a con. Russell Brand is right, the time for voting is over. Invest in crypto currencies and just start reading up at least on alternatives. That system is done. Westminster will collapse as soon as the election is over as the economy is based on mortgage debt alone and basically there is nothing to prop it all up.

They did nothing about 2008 and so at zero percent interest, the next collapse is going to be a little more extreme. Black hole territory is coming. Negative interest rates wouldn't be a shock. You still think the banks should be in business?

Farage was attacked by the other politicians and needed Cameron to support him but he was missing in action.

The audience was independently picked and Farage attacking them made him look stupid.

I was impressed by the Welsh leader and she said the things that Labour would have done many years ago about strengthening the unions, reducing inequality and taxing the rich. Ed could not say any of that and appeared right wing compared to the others and may have won some votes because of that.

Labour is Torylite but you have to be pragmatic to get in because that is what the voters want.

Well the audience (independently chosen) was representative in that it reflected the leanings of each party on stage. When 4 of the 5 parties are left of centre then yes it's likely the audience would be left of centre too - that's representative. Unless Nigel expected a 50% share for him and 50% split between the other 4?

The reality is that UKIP poll around 13-15%. That means that broadly speaking 85-87% of the population are left of UKIP. So the audience was left leaning yes, but that was fair.

Edit: Unless Ghengis Khan happened to be in the audience it would have been difficult to be as 'Right' as Farage would like.

No, I don't think the UK politicians have a grip on finance or any of this. It is a failed state. I mean that in a good way. It won't take all that much to crush the system. Will it happen now? No. Will it? Give it a few years. Yes, you can destroy the monarchy, the media and the raping mining corporations. People vote only for what. Do I vote? No.. I know the system. In time, in time.

By the time you vote it will be too late.

I will not vote. I believe in real change.

Then there will be no change if everyone disenfranchised does not vote.

Independently choosen my arse 😃 Farage had it right, it was a pro left audience. Even so, knowing it and saying it are two different things. You don't insult the electorate. Even if they are spastic.

But as I have said the audience was chosen equally by number of supporters of each party, therefore as 4 of the 5 parties up there are centre or left of centre of course the audience were more left. Don't know the numbers but say they chose 30 audience members for each party then of course 80% of the audience would be anti-Farage. It's not the BBC's fault that 13-15% of people intend to vote UKIP and 85-87% intend to vote for a party less right-wing than UKIP.
The vast majority of people in the UK are less right-wing than UKIP and the audience reflected that.

That is what Ed said to him, do not attack the audience.

There were Muslim demonstrations in Cardiff today where the fundamentalists were urging Muslims at a local mosque not to vote, because Allah would judge them if they do. If you choose not to vote, you believe in small change.

If you choose not to make yourself heard, then you are making everyone else's votes more important than yours. You are telling everyone that their opinion matters more than yours. If you don't vote, then you have no relevance in this debate whatsoever, and may as well shut up and go back to marking tests or preparing lesson plans.

David Cameron recently revealed to Country Life magazine that his favourite 'sport' is Fox Hunting.
