What is the point with a separate campaign thread?

As explained in the (now locked) previous thread.

The most significant number is 36% saying that he is up to the job of Prime Minister - higher (just) than Labour's VI share. Previously it was way lower.

Re: the ComRes Scottish poll. Apparently they included the SNP in the "other parties" category when conducting the poll. Lol...

Ashcroft back in part of the LD battleground.

Clegg still behind in Hallam, but they've pulled it back in Cambridge. Tories doing well in their targets.

Tories not doing that well - their vote is down in all but one of those seats - and that one is, ironically, in the constituency with the only Lib Dem MP who could be described as a Eurosceptic. Would be pretty amusing if the Lib Dems did pretty well overall (say, 35-40 seats) and Clegg still lost anyway.  

Oh, and surely a lot of flukeish gains (i.e. the winning party winning the seat with a lower share of the vote than last time) will provide another stick for FPTP opponents post-election.

YouGov's website is now the most impressive UK political website around imo. Check out their election centre: https://yougov.co.uk/#/centre

*If* the polls improve considerably for the Tories during the campaign then Morley and Outwood will surely be talked about again, no?

Farage implying that he wants Tory economics on steroids. Won't go down well with much of the UKIP base.

"David Cameron wants to talk about the past. Okay. The Tories pledged to match Labour's spending plans until the 2008 financial crisis." ~ What Ed Miliband should say.

Miliband missing so many tricks...Cameron just attacked Labour for believing that spending rises alone improve the NHS; earlier he attacked Labour for not spending enough on the Welsh NHS.

And an effing ad break now? WHAT?

Sturgeon and Bennett are impressing me the most.

Though Sturgeon is more articulate and hence her points will resonate more.

Of course there're not ignoring Farage on this question...maybe because it fits in with his tired cliches (unlike the previous questions).

Farage started going hard left there...then suddenly drifted onto grammar schools.

Miliband got in something of a zinger at last - on bank regulation.

What's with all the weird camera cutting during the closing statements?
