Yeah, I hope that too.

But Plaid Cymru really are an awful party, especially if you don't speak Welsh. Thankfully they're down to fourth place in Wales now.

Oh really? What's awful about them? I think they represented themselves really well tonight!

What did everyone else make of the debate?

Just 7 bull****ters bull****ting :tongue:

I'm glad UKIP seem to have come out worst though... Not that it will stop the kind of people voting for them from doing that though.

As they showed last night, if you're not Welsh you might as well not exist.

Sturgeon seemed to barely mention Scotland outside of her opening and closing speeches, whereas Wood only seemed to talk about Wales. I suppose that's the problem with inviting parties that don't run nationwide to a national debate though.

So I still haven't watched the leaders debate because I was out, but this is what I've heard:
Greens & Plaid - pretty bad
SNP - incredible
Labour - better than usual but still not great
Lib dems - did they even do anything
UKIP - disgustingly racist as expected
Tory - as expected

Fair conclusion? Will give a more in depth reply once ive watched it later

3/4 of the way through...

Plaid Cymru - It's just annoying she only cares about Wales, she's not going to win any votes with that

SNP - lol I wish I could vote for them

Labour - I think I'll probably vote labour tbh, I just don't like his voice lol

Green - I didn't think she was toooooo bad, would vote for green but idk about her

UKIP - lmao who even votes for them jesus Christ

Lib Dems- idk, I actually like what they're saying... But They're too good to be true and they won't live up to anything

Labour Vs Green for me (would Lib dem but no hope lol)

I'm labour vs green too. What did you think about conservatives?
I think I like plaid cymru cos Leanna Wood was kicked out of the chamber for calling the Queen "Mrs Windsor" and also arrested for protesting against trident :')
Like I can't ever imagine labour, conservative or libdem leaders doing that :lol:

EDIT: also, you can only vote plaid if you're welsh, no? I think she did bring to light that in a lot of ways welsh arent given the same resources as english which isn't really fair.

Haha, fair enough. Would you prefer a different type of political system, then? Yeah the kind of people that woul've voted probably would've liked a lot of the things farage said, unfortunately.

Haha I thought it cute how the three male parties were j trying to damage eachother as much as possible :lol:

She's made me wanna be scottish so hard. I definitely think England needs a party like the SNP. There's a group of labour/green voters who would much prefer it, I feel.
Yeah that's the problem I have with the Greens. They have great ideas about where britain should be, but seem a lil naive as to how we'll get there! It's a shame tbh.
I thought farage didn't have enough to bring to the table- his only points were immigration and EU which I think the majority of voters disagree with.

I didnt even notice that? She was talking a lot about Scottish politics, perhaps it was that Leanna Wood was giving welsh case studies?

I won't lie about it, I'm probably one of the most clueless people on politics and how it all works :lol:

If there was a system where politicians had to follow up on what they said they were going to do, then it would be that one :tongue:
