The Battle for Number 10 - 2015 Edition

Tonight is the night of the BIG non-debate - from 9PM on Channel 4 and Sky News.

David Cameron chickened out from a proper head to head debate, so we get something that has an awkward format.

David Cameron and Ed Miliband will face the audience and Jeremy Paxman, but not head to head, at the same time or debate each other.

David Cameron will go first, Ed Miliband second.

There has already been an election event featuring, George Osborne and Ed Balls - something that was mostly invisible.

This debate may get better attention as it involves the leaders and not the prospective chancellors.

David Cameron is more salesman like while Ed Miliband is more cerebral.

I hope the public do not buy the sales pitch from David Cameron. I suspect he will try to keep telling the public that should Ed Miliband be elected, he will be forced to dance to the tune of the SNP by Alex Salmond.

I myself rather like the SNP and want some pressure from the left of where the Labour party currently stands, but apparently the SNP and Alex Salmond is a brand that is toxic with many due to wanting an independent Scotland.

Comments

General Opinion seems to be that while Cameron was the smoother of the two, people who were only seeing Miliband for the first time were impressed and surprised especially compared to his tabloid image.

"For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone'" - David Cameron, UK Prime Minister. 13 May 2015.

Round 2 is tonight, starting at 8pm.

7 party leaders

News reports suggest that the tories are hoping that Ed Miliband gets drowned out in "a cacophony of voices" to show how not voting tory will lead to chaos.
