UK General Election 2010

[The Custonian empire]

I wonder whats going to happen in the pm debate

[Chumblywumbly]

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

First impressions: Clegg looks chuffed, Cameron looks nervous and Brown looks confident.

Also, I like Brown's tie.

[Hydesland]

I don't know if I can handle 3 boorish soundbytes in a row, lord save me.

[Chumblywumbly]

Has Cameron attempted sexy ruffled hair?

[Chumblywumbly]

Interesting: first question is on immigration.

[Serrland]

He's only had his opening statement, and Cameron already sounds slimy...

[Hydesland]

Cameron wants migration quotas They can be dodgy.

[Getbrett]

Interesting. Nick Clegg is so far the clearest speaker.

[Serrland]

Might be bias, but Clegg sounds and looks a lot more relaxed than Cameron, and Brown...well...he just looks like a dour old man.

[Kulverint]

Interesting to hear their views on immigration, particularly Nick Clegg seems to have a strong opinion on this issue.

[Chumblywumbly]

Cameron wants migration quotas They can be dodgy.

"Tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands".

Hooba-jooba-wah?

[The blessed Chris]

Cameron wants migration quotas They can be dodgy.

Because there's any point having a discussion on immigration at all given our situation apropos EU immigrants.

[Serrland]

Working on a first name basis there, eh David?

[Kulverint]

Cameron is proposing a cap on immigrants, and a border police force. I do think that a border force is over the top. All we need it tightened security, not yet more police.

Net migration was c. 50,000 per annum under Major, and peaked at over 200,000 per annum in either 2008 or 2007.

[Hydesland]

Because there's any point having a discussion on immigration at all given our situation apropos EU immigrants.

Personally I think non EU immigration is more problematic, but I'm more talking about the difficulties in enforcing such a thing.

[Chumblywumbly]

Eaaaaegrgh at Cameron's "I was talking to a 40-year -old black man".

Here he goes about a border police force.

Interesting. Nick Clegg is so far the clearest speaker.

Certainly. Confident, calm and connected to the audience.

Probably, but any border control is difficult.

I'm more hooba-joobying at why we would want to limit immigration to tens of thousands.

[The Custonian empire]

ooh the debates really hotting up now
oh and cameron and brown are having an argument, like a married couple aaaaaaaahhhhh

[Hydesland]

Britain's overpopulated mkay.

[Tomland Union]

whoa its gone caotic and they are going round in circles.

[Chumblywumbly]

Gordo: stop being such an economist.

[Kulverint]

Seriously good points and speaking from Nick Clegg. Tonight will almost certainly win him a lot of votes.

I'd assume, before anything else, because the electorate don't want net migration to the scale Labour have permitted?

Also, brownie points to Dave for acknowledging that the domestic unemployed should fill such vacancies as they can first.
