So whos gonna watch the Prime Ministerial Debate?

[nyx]

Its the first of three at 8.30 on ITV tonight. Its the first time we've had anything like this in the UK despite the US doing it for years and years, it last 90 minutes and features the three main party leaders.

I am actually very excited. Not only do I tend to geek out around election time anyway, but we've managed to turn it into a drinking game, that I suggest, anyone with nothing better to do tonight, and some willing friends does too.

Basically everyone picks a phrase that it is likely they'll talk about, some examples from our game are 'tax on jobs', 'voting reform' etc. then everytime one of the candidates says that everyone else has to drink. Simple but wonderfully efficient at getting you drunk, provided you know whats the goss with current politics. Anyway I'm willing this to turn into a tournament over the three and see who is a) the most politically aware and b) the biggest lightweight. Reports and photos to follow.

Actually, I'll be taping it and watching it tomorrow. I can't deal with my Dad shouting at the TV.

Awwwh I wanna tell Mitch I'm not coming and do this instead!! I will force him to put it on tv....

Is it worth watching if I don't really plan on voting.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've even received anything about being asked to vote. :/

In fact, I didn't even know it was election time.


Wow, I'm real big on Politics. :)


Seriously though, is it worth watching? Maybe we could all get on tf chat while it's on.

[Darts]

You should vote Shane!! People DIED to give us that right! etc etc

I like the peep show drinking game, every time Jez is a bastard, every time Mark says 'political correctness gone mad', every time he perves on Dobby.......

There's the Jeremy Kyle drinking game where you take a shot everytime someone sleeps with their brother/doesn't know if the baby's his/smokes some ganja and lies about it/Jeremy says 'LOOK AT ME'.

[Alpharius]

Watching it, boring, waiting for someone to make a mistake.

I worked with someone who was actually on Jeremy Kyle, and there was me thinking it was all set-up. I can't remember what he was on for... I think his girlfriend was beating him and he was too mucn of a gent to hit back so they decided to settle it on Jeremy Kyle... Did lol

The latest yougov poll is very interesting;


We asked: “How would you vote on May 6 if you thought the Liberal Democrats had a significant chance of winning the election”. The responses: Lib Dem 49%, Conservative 25%, Labour 19%.

I was just getting annoyed when I was watching it. Nick Clegg came to Swansea yesterday and for some reason my friends were very excited.
