Paxman was a disgrace, very biased (as was Kay Burley) & personal against Miliband, actually made me want to vote for him!

[@joshc8708]

Arcturus Dunhelm "Jew-Boy"?

[@YorickReturns]

GashHound If you think that, then you should support privatizing and deregulating the media, so that all views can be more easily heard. Unchallenged bias is what you get when the government owns or controls the media (and yes the 'private' media are controlled by government through very strong regulation).

[@AllThreeWitches]

I think it would be amusing if Ed wins, just so all the people who tried to intimidate him would then have to call him their superior, at least in a general official sense. And it would piss a lot of people off having someone they perceive as a nerd run the country, so that would be funny to me as well.

[@MrOhWhatTheHeck]

Paxman was patronizing and downright rude during the interview with Ed. I was feeling really bad for him by the end.

[@jasoncooper1189]

***** put a gun up them and pull the trigger

[@markusboyd4834]

I must say, that it was unprofessional on channel 4's part to feature questions which deviated from politics. Questions regarding his relationship with his brother, and whether or not he would have a pint with Cameron, has nothing to do with his ability to govern a nation. Very unprofessional indeed.

[@Archivian01]

Agreed. that was time where actual issues could be explored, especially considering there was limited time. Its not like there are a shortage of issues. On the other hand it also could have been a lot worse. Still no excuse though.

[@daver755]

Arcturus Dunhelm I hear his wife is German. Perhaps he's one of dem nazi spies!

[@berserkerphil907]

Arcturus Dunhelm 100% With you. We live in a society where the lame and lazy demand and expect everything for free and where most are offended by anything. We need to force the lazy to scrub floors, pick fruit and veg on the farms, sweep the streets that they throw their shit onto. The list is endless. As for Miliband. The man is way out of his depth. Has the charisma of a dog turd and whilst ensuring the lazy remain lazy by allowing them their free lifestyle, treats us all like mugs in his multi million pound London house. I hate socialisism for all of its inequalities. The wealthy socialists ensure the poor are fed and watered for free so they are guaranteed a vote. Fucking hypocracy on a massive scale.

[@ezekielthemack]

Berserker Phil Are you suggesting that Cameron has done a good job over the last five years?

[@USASecretHistory]

***** That's a great observation Jimmy. I wish we had this type of format in at least one of our presidential debates. Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and both George Bushes would never survive this type of debate. They would fold. I think Presidents Kennedy, Nixon, Clinton and Obama would do well. But I know what you are talking about when you mention the "Americanization of British politics." Both of these candidates hired Americans to run their campaigns. Milliband hired David Axelrod. You could see that the audience was becoming impatient with both candidates. They didn't want to address some of the questions and instead wanted to deflect these questions with their campaign spin. They probably were advised to do that. On behalf of the United States of America, I am sorry that we have bastardized your election campaigns. Before you know it, you people will adopt an electoral college. A dumbass system we should have gotten rid of a long time ago.

[@AllThreeWitches]

Every interview of Ed Miliband he gets asked this very loaded stuff like: "How do you feel about the fact you stabbed your brother in the back?" "How do you feel about people saying you're strange?" "Why do people call you gloomy?" "Did you know they say you're a geek?" It's like what's with this stuff. Is it going to be like America now where leadership candidacy is like a schoolyard popularity contest? It's just slathered in ad hominem. Why does it matter if he isn't a hard man? And how is Ed Miliband supposed to know the total max population capacity of the British isles? Why is he even asking that.. You'd have to ask people in several scientific fields to know the answer to that, like the bare minimum amount of agricultural land required to support one person, amongst other things.

He really sees the British people as a bunch of tossers when he can bare face lie like that. That's the thing about good liars - they believe their own bollocks to an extent.

[@davidcameronnumberonefan3982]

Wow! Where did that come from? All I said: and I'm not wrong in saying this his government has created jobs 2.1 million jobs (roughly), and has changed the laws making it easier to start up a business. David Cameron's government have changed my life, I am no longer unemployed; (like I was when labour where in government,) and I can afford to buy food and live a pleasant life. If being able to afford food makes you a 'C**t. Then yeah, I guess I am a C**t.

[@JustinCredible786]

Paxman showed himself up as a bully - his questioning of Miliband was so personal and not pertinent to the subject like the Election and Manifesto. It was more like the Jeremy Paxman show! Paxman went much more for the jugular with Ed Miliband but I think considering it was a blatantly bias interview Miliband came out of it better and when allowed to reply to a question did well under extreme provocation and interruption. Also, isn't it odd how Katie Hopkins has tweeted that she will emigrate if Miliband is elected Prime Minister? As in 1997: Cilla Black, Tarbuck, Paul Daniels and Davidson all threatened to emigrate if Labour won. The point being, why is it that "celebs" who I have no time, liking or respect for, such as Hopkins [the others my family despised], think they are so important and they think that anybody actually cares, why do they issue extreme threats like that? In the end however, Ed showed tonight that he is: strong, honest and capable of doing the job; he knocked the stuffing out of Paxo and won this round. Thus the real question here is have we underestimated him? Because after tonight I can see why Cameron didn't want to go up against Ed. Now the problem for me is that being 17 and not being able to vote [as far as I know], if I could, I would vote Labour to piss off Jeremy and Kate; alongside getting the scummy Conservatives out of government.

[@koshmello7261]

shame u only 17,thats one labour vote down the drain,but dont worry,labour would be victorious

[@conno451]

Justin Credible As an Australian observer and British expat I can only say your angsty and 'rage against the system' labour vote will ultimately destroy Britain, as it nearly did here. Labour is a mistake Conservatives are a mistake Greens are a mistake Lib Dems are a mistake SNP are a mistake Only UKIP can save you now as only Australia or Family first can save us

[@koshmello7261]

[@conno451]

[@Oflaherty86]

[@jackstewart8164]

Anyone else think Cameron's questions were easier?

[@Davoiid]

Yeah I think Cameron's questions were much easier.

[@l337z0r]

Might have something to do with the fact that Paxman is a Tory and friends with Cameron.

[@flynniefly]

Jack Stewart Cameron didnt get beaten up enough over HIS lies, where as I dont think it's fair to beat Miliband up over labours past Blair, Brown and the American subprime mortgage scandal i.e global financial crisis

[@GETTHEDEUCE]

Cameron's questions were easier because Jeremy Paxman is a conservative voter & the Audience questions were arranged before hand.

[@daver755]

lechaise Labour and Tory economic policy is the same. Only the rhetoric is different. Both add debt above and beyond GDP growth, as they must in a debt-money system in a mixed capitalist system.

[@slothfromthegoonies8201]

Very biased interview. We want to know how Miliband intends to run the country, not details about his relationship with his brother. I didn't see Paxman asking Cameron personal questions, it would have been interesting to know how he excuses his drug taking days in the "Bullingdon Club". When will biased journalists realise that unfairly targeting a certain individual always backfires? I'd put Farage's success down to an obvious media campaign against him, that was carried out by just about every media outlet in the country. Before this interview I thought Ed couldn't handle a stiff breeze. Now I actually have some respect for the man, I think most of us were impressed by his passion and ability to overcome the odds.

[@alanwilton6806]

I would love to see Cameron on a zero hours contract and being paid the minimum wage. Come to think of it, I would love to see all politicians on zero hours contracts and earning the minimum wage. Rather than shafting and starving the poor and needy, we should be making politicians share in the misery they are imposing on others.

[@daver755]

Alan Wilton wages arent the problem. Purchasing power is. Stop the banks and purchasing power comes back. Its that simple.

[@ninny65]

Alan Wilton Zero hour contracts are designed for single people or students and even elderly people. People with families who have to spend more than just for themselves can't do that. If you're in a family there are plenty of other full time jobs for you to take.

[@jasoncooper1189]

Aléxandros Kanavos yes i agree

[@mutton_man]

I hate that they are only interviewing two parties. It's like the other parties don't even have a chance, the media are like it's not worth given them any TV time, not like they are going to win.

[@joshualunn5793]

Well they're not going to 'win' exactly no, only someone who doesn't know our electoral system or how the support for minor parties are currently spread across the county would say that anybody but lab or con have a chance of winning. But you are right that the minor parties should be interviewed, we will probably see another 2010 scenario where one of the minor parties gets to chose who to form a government WITH and in that situation I agree it's only fair that we should hear what they have to say. On the other hand, it's not as if Farage or Bennett or Clegg haven't been doing interviews that you can go and watch.

[@mutton_man]

Joshua Lunn yeah it would of been nice if they did this kind of format for the other parties. It would be nice to see what their leaders are like and how they handle under paxmans scrutiny. I'm sure all the other parties would of love to do this.

[@mutton_man]

Joshua Lunn is kinda sad that it's only between 2 parties. I was going to vote lib dems but I'm wondering if it even worth it if they have no chance of winning.

[@daver755]

Mutton Man There's two parties there?! All I saw was 1 party with two faces.

[@joshualunn5793]

Mutton Man I voted lib dems in 2010 (it was my first election) on many grounds not worth going into but not least the scrapping of tuition fees. It wouldn't have made a difference to me as I was already signed up to the old payment plan but education just simply should not be commodified. The U-Turn was such a blow to my hope for politics in this country.

[@AnabananaBeauty]

What I like about Ed is that he actually answers every question he doesn't try to defer it, he answers it properly. He comes across just more truthful and I like how he can say "we were wrong" when labour has been wrong. He admits his mistakes. Every bloody word that comes out of David Cameron's mouth is a bunch of lies! Ed didn't do so great in the interview with Paxman but hes a better man than the great big liar Cameron!

[@AnabananaBeauty]

Anastacia Louise Also I'd say to Ed "Haters gonna hate..." :) Hope he stays strong. He is a nice guy. Look at what happened to Nick Clegg.

[@thecrimsondragon9744]

That would be because Paxman is overtly biased and a horrible interviewer.

[@killgroup]

Kay is so unbelievably annoying and right wing, notice during the PM's questions she barely made a whisper to any of his answers, but during Ed's almost every answer he gave she had to nitpick at it.

[@simazar]

Miliband was more open and human. He stutters a bit but showed some steel. None of Cameron's answers felt as though he believed what he is saying. Mili would get my vote but I'm voting Green.

[@Mitjitsu]

To be fair Cameron is the master of deflection. A quality that all to often get's people to the top of politics.

[@jarradk174]

voting green is only logical at this point

[@simazar]

Mitjitsu you're right on about that. He addresses while leaving the essence of them untouched. Sermonising about support for things while cutting them down to the wick.

[@danielelford6767]

[@laxej]

How can Ed be blamed for labours past mistakes ?

[@kurt7842]

Alexander Johns Ik didn’t hear them blame Cameron for mass unemployment during the thatcher years

[@sargeantshithead]

Jeremy Paxman is a fool who asks stupid questions in a clear attempt to make politicians look silly for silly reasons and swerves around the genuine points that need to be investigated in to in order to jump on the 'all politicians are stupid' bandwagon. Stop it Jeremy, you're not Jeremy Kyle, ask some real questions that will get us some real answers.

[@joetraill4991]

If there's anyone watching this now who's interested in the way politicians answer questions in relation to their overall campaigning strategy, I'd recommend listening to a Matt Forde's Political Party podcast episode with Douglas Alexander from 2015. He was responsible for Labour's 2001 and 2015 campaign strategies. He mentions how when answering questions politicians should 'be categoric, then qualify' - state their position, then explain how or why. During Ed's session with the audience he very clearly follows this guideline.

[@bencrowe6454]

Ed had a good campaign in 2015, but came up against (at the time) a smooth and competent leader in Cameron. In 2015, the economy was improving and Labour has been kicked out of office only 5 years ago. Had Ed been the leader now with the same policies and ideas, he would be more popular, and would be leading the polls massively against an incompetent, inept and infighting Tory party

[@user-vh6ts9uf6c]

... and spectacularly lost the election.

[@nymabakhshayesh493]

Both David and Ed did well but Paxman was unfair. Considering some of the crap Ed had to deal with, I do believe him when he says he's resilient and tough. If Paxman was as awkward with David as he was with Ed, I don't think David would have kept it together at all. Plus Ed was more sincere.

[@user-vh6ts9uf6c]

But Ed lost. Because he wasn't a leader.

[@PeachesandCream225]

@@user-vh6ts9uf6c nope he lost due to the media bias clearly shown in these interviews

[@user-vh6ts9uf6c]

@@PeachesandCream225 Oh don't be ridiculous. Are you honestly that deluded to think the media has that much control and hate over Miliband to turn the entire country against him? Your're showing off your political insecurities.

[@1DomBennett]

Miliband looked like a rabbit caught in headlights.

[@ezekielthemack]

Dominic Bennett Ed Miliband exhibited more integrity in one of his answers, than Cameron did in his ENTIRE interview. Don't look at the style, look at the SUBSTANCE.

[@1DomBennett]

ezekielthemack I was looking at the substance although clearly you were not, and the robotic Miliband did not show any integrity especially about his brother, and when his attempted "joke" about eating a bacon sandwich failed to illicit even a sympathy laugh he looked completely the fool, as your comment has shown you to be too.

[@ezekielthemack]

Dominic Bennett Don't tell me what I was or was NOT doing. Secondly, there was NOTHING robotic about Miliband, which tells me that you clearly do not interpret body language very well, because of the two men he was the most genuine and the most effusive. Also, how the hell do you arrive at him not showing integrity towards his brother? If I recall, he was VERY honest about the fact that the relationship was very strained for a period of time, if that isn't exhibiting integrity I don't know what is. You clearly have no clue as to what the word integrity means. David Cameron, on the other hand was as fake as the day is long and this was particularly borne out by the fact that the man couldn't even give "ball park" figure as to the number of food banks currently in the country. That in of itself is indicative of how aloof this man is towards people on the lower scale of the socio-economic strata in this country. In closing, It is better to be considered a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt as you've just done. Go figure...

[@1DomBennett]

ezekielthemack Why is it you seem incapable of creating a sentence without putting something in capitals, is it simply because you do not know how stupid it makes you appear, or are you attempting to compensate for a lack of something? How on earth does not knowing the number of food banks in this country make him aloof? Did you again fail to notice that he also mentioned that under your mate Miliband's party when they were last in charge and bankrupted the country, that signs for food banks were deliberately hidden, something that Cameron made sure would never happen under his Prime Ministership which I would suggest indicates integrity, irony abounds, but not unfortunately intelligence as you have yet again so admirably demonstrated.

[@ezekielthemack]

Dominic Bennett "Why is it you seem incapable of creating a sentence without putting something in capitals" - It's called EMPHASIS. Have you never heard of that word Dominic? Now to your second question:" How on earth does not knowing the number of food banks in this country make him aloof?" - The fact that you even ASK this question is testament to your ignorance and I'm glad it's in print, so that the entire youtube community can appreciate how innately dumb and ignorant you are for asking such a STUPID (are the caps annoying you yet lol...) question. As for the rest of the litany of garbage that you've written, in case you missed it Ed Miliband was NOT running the country at the time of the GLOBAL financial crisis, note I said GLOBAL, because the crisis was not exclusive to this country under Labour as idiots like you seem to think. In closing may I remind the youtube community AGAIN of your innately ignorant comment vis a vis David Cameron: "How on earth does not knowing the number of food banks in this country make him aloof?" Priceless, absolutely priceless. SMH.

Maybe Paxman should shut his mouth after asking a question, instead of using up all the air in the room and preventing anybody from answering.

[@dpbucknall1992]

I wonder if all these saying "vote UKIP" have ever read their policies. Why don't people read all parties policies and make a calm and well thought out decision, rather than jumping on the immigration bandwagon. People are entitled to vote for who they like but my god, do some research.

[@philosophyofnsh6438]

Kay Burley was blatantly biased against Ed Miliband- 'We'll see if they are clapping you at the end' And Paxman let his own ego come through. He showed DC more respect than he showed Miliband.

[@crestfalen88]

Having now watched the spectacle of what Bradshaw has dubbed "Allrightgate" (kudos to the Guardian), my respect for Milliband is now tenfold. That is, he came off as at least partly human (he was a little sneaky at the beginning and I think Paxman was at least right in calling him out for making up his own question, which let's face it, is the lifeblood of not only both politicians here but all politicians universally I would think) which was great. Cameron... I don't know.

[@Mitjitsu]

It's hard to judge who won when Cameron had far easier and less personal questions than Milliband. I also thought the questions covered far too broad a subject range. It would have been better if it was just about the economy, domestic or foreign policy.

[@EnglishTeacherMatthew]

[@wormsnake1]

I'm sorry but there is more corruption in Job Centres than in the Kremlin. The unemployment statistics are artificial and not representitive of actual unemployment. It is a nightmare for a young person (under 25s) to get work these days. I stopped signing on, moved cross country, went to my now, 3rd college, in an attempt to start a new life in a city which has abundant work (nearly 2 jobs for every person here). Yet I have only had 1 job since as a bartender in which management treated me like shite and then sacked me for calling in sick 1 week before the probationary period had ended. I would be happy to start a political party and actually do something to get this country out of the state that it is in. I'm not a toff, I am not a stiff upper lip prick, I am simply a working class to low middle class person which has tried in vain to improve my life, improve myself as a person and tried to get a job based onmy merit only to be pushed back and put down for it with no help what so ever from local authorities. I currently have £0 income, I am £4000+ in debt and that is after trying 110% to get somewhere. Companies don't want to hire you or even give you a chance with some vouluntary work, instead they'd rather take all the money you have and put you on the streets to rot. There is no winning as a youngster anymore as you are dismissed as some stupid naive moron that can't be bothered to work.

VOTE UKIP AT EVERY BALLOT BOX and lets start again with good clean honest leaders.

[@justicepartyuk]

Justice party will help Britain & not hypocrites so called politicians

[@milford622]

These interviews simply prove that LabCon will not, cannot answer a straight question with a straight answer. Unlike Farage, who does just that. Vote UKIP.

[@AJ4eva2793]

vote UKIP

[@MrResearcher122]

Ed seems like a nice person. But he should have answered the question on immigration. A population the seize of Malta moving to UK under Labour is a shocking and unacceptable level of migration. He's not offering a referendum, he's not offering a precise views on migration, and his policies are full of mist. No man should lead a country with such a Manifesto.

[@GameTacos]

Great slip up at 5:10

[@ajwright5512]

"Freezing in work benefits, like unemployment benefit"?

[@MePeterNicholls]

So was cameron too chicken to do a head to head with Milliband at the same time?

[@unseenmasamune7007]

the dome wasnt a good investment??? caught in avoiding more questions.. 1.13.20

[@jethrodykes4853]

I believe in the economy. David Cameron believes in the economy. Ed Miliband believes in the economy.

[@Mo-xh4vv]

at 16:40 Cameron says he's not giving money to Greece? why not, i think utterly rude.

[@TheDarvec1]

I went outside to watch the grass grow after 10 mins.

[@daver755]

750,000 new businesses? 1) is that net or gross 2) are the self employed and on tax credits after being forced of another benefit by ATOS. Self employed income has been decimated over the last few years.

[@jayd4ever]

I think David Cameron and Conservative are better than Miliband and Labour then probably Liberal Democrats then Labour then UKIP although it does look that the UKIP sees itself as the old Conservative

[@ijustmadethischannelforthe2609]

They should have hired someone who is non-political. Pax man was too biased against Milliband

[@cbflazaro]

They need to extend the idea of "no benefits if you dont put in for 4 years first" to british people aswell. Milions of brits never worked and always had benefits, yet we (immigrants) that arrive with qualifications and education costs sustained by our home countries governments have to put in first? Hows that fair?

[@federicogiorgetti9174]

Millband is the biggest opportunist ever

[@reuben8140]

33:43 Very witty given the policing context

[@ninxoon30]

Paxman ego was crushed, and he went after Miliband for that! Jerk!

[@shauniebabes]

Typical Lefty double standards - "How dare an interviewer expose Saint Ed to the sort of aggressive interview that leaves Nigel Farage totally unflustered ?"

[@IM-dy8wo]

Farage is a boss. Call him a tosser and he'll have a laugh. Call Cameron a tosser he'll say that's unacceptable. Call Ed a tosser and he'll stamp his feet and suck his thumb. Farage is the clear alpha male here.

[@daver755]

Illimitable Man Farage survives plane crashes, car wrecks and cancer. Miliband cries in a corner when daddy is exposed for what he was.

[@ezekielthemack]

Illimitable Man Nigel Farage is a KNOB - nothing more, nothing less. He is a fucking joke.

[@shauniebabes]

Doesn't it concern you a "fucking knob and a joke" would piss all over Ed Milliband and David Cameron in any form of debate ?

[@IM-dy8wo]

ezekielthemack I don't see it. Why do you think that?

[@bjmartinphotography]

Every government of every country, stop taxing people, start cutting your government employee's salary and their retirement. No government official should get more than middle income salary, since you all say you care about.

[@lordoffrog2354]

Lol why is David Cameron just repeating what nigel farage said on the EU question?

[@haseebayaz1926]

I do like Labour's policies to an extent, but honestly speaking, Ed don't give confident answers and act as a newly graduate student doing a presentation at a conference and struggling to answer panel's questions. On the other hand, Cameron has a leader personality which reflects confidence, that's another question that he has messed up the country.

[@ObeyjusticeChiguta18]

Ed Miliband should CHILL OUT... the Dude is smart but a bit emotional. Anyway, beautiful Britain, I enjoyed this Debate

[@patriotgames1000]

Take your pick and vote for JEW number one or JEW number two . I vote for neither because i am not a JEW .

[@psychonaut1502]

His successors actually were Theresa May and Boris Johnson (and Liz Truss) so Paxman was right on the money there.

[@mjc01]

What a total creep this man is. And I say that simply because of his first answer. The insincere praise for Foodbank volunteers. Their very existence is a national disgrace. You're not fit for purpose Dave. Now get out.

[@MrDanielfff777]

So cool

[@jazzey69]

If voting made any difference they would make it illegle. It is not who casts his vote but those who count them BE AWARE of the facts ! Also End fractional reserve banking and the fiat money system NOW !

[@dark1ankh]

One hour and a half of non stop spin. Vote UKIP !

[@GreenerHill]

Vote Labour in May.

[@playerjoe]

Wow in the United Kingdom you guys ask the person running for the highest position in government questions as to why he should be elected and actually have journalist who question them. Amazing never seen this before it's weird.

[@stephengreen743]

strait in with food banks lol awsome.

[@MrDanielfff777]

Lool

[@MrDanielfff777]

Fr ahHa

[@jamespowell1969]

Where were the real questions? "You see a turtle it is upturned on its back what do you do?"

[@joelbenson5322]

Paxman's questions were ridiculous for Miliband, his first questions were just trying to get Miliband to admit Labours mistakes rather than looking at what he's actually going to do in the future. Very biased towards Cameron.

[@caspos1987]

I know, let's put triangles over their eyes in the intro! That will divide them even more
