Debate is tonight. It's a big deal. Please Pray for Nigel Farage - we need him to put in the performance of a lifetime tonight, which will be very difficult as he will be under sustained attack from the other 6.

He won the EU Election debate overwhelmingly a year or so ago.

Wasn’t Nigel Farage born in Hawaii? Just dreaming.

Prayers for Nigel. Brits are having the same problems as Americans. They have taken God out of everything.

Nigel is an asset to the world, not only Britain.

Nigel Farage is the bookmakers’ favourite to win Thursday night’s televised seven-way leaders debate

This is baffling.

Who decides who the winner of a debate is? How do you keep score?

Being a political debate the scoring of points would have to be totally subjective.

The BBC tried to create some sort of negative spin publishing a story about Nigel Farage having a limited campaign at the start and asking something along with lines of “what’s the matter”.

The truth of the situation is that Farage is resting and preparing for tonight’s debate.

Well, I've just come off watching it, so here's my take (and I declare an interest as I am a UKIP party official).

Leaving aside the content of their arguments, I thought the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon came out of it the best. She looked calm, she didn't get flustered, she steered away from the nasty exchanges, she answered the most questions and got in some particularly nasty hits on Ed Miliband (Labour). This is worrying, as the woman and everything she is and stands for, politically and economically, are total anathema to me.

Miliband came out of it surprisingly well, although he rather overdid the appeal to the audience at the end. He looked liked he had been heavily coached.

Cameron was his usual professional, bland self. He looked and talked the part (even if his actions don't back his words up).

Frankly it wasn't Nigel Farage's best performance. He didn't do badly by any means, and certainly not by the poll results afterwards, and he was certainly the most interesting candidate there, but 6:1 really was a bit too much in that format.

Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrats) also did surprisingly well, given the poor hand he'd been dealt. It was noticeable that he concentrated attacks on his Tory partner!

Natalie Bennett rambled through the usual contradictory platitudes Green party candidates make. Who cares?

The Plaid Cymru candidate was definitely the worse. She was pretty much incoherent, and no, not because of the accent.

I think I would have liked Farage to counterattack a bit more, though I appreciate he was taking the higher stand of being positive. The sheer hypocricy of Scottish and Welsh Nationalists (a large chunk of whose support is based on blatant anti-English racism) accusing him of Xenophobia I found utterly mind-boggling.
