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?

The "Progressive Alliance" (Sturgeon, Wood, Bennett) seem to have performed best, in my opinion, so far.

Immigration next. Sad

Wood calmly tore Farage a new one there. I think Farage has given up.

Are you having a laugh? Wood's only contribution to this debate has essentially been to say "i'm from the valleys".

Farage would win this section even if he were nude.

Farage going full right wing with his comment about open borders to "10 former Communist countries."

That comment on AIDS though, hopefully that gets broadcast as much as possible - that'll kill UKIP off.

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

Good luck with that... I doubt that most people share your rather meek sensibilities.

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

Farage has been considerably less cliche ridden than the other leaders (aside from Sturgeon).

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

Nigel Farage claimed an early advantage in the televised general election leaders' debate, with 24% of viewers polled at the half-way point rating him the best performer, ahead of Ed Miliband on 21% and David Cameron on 19%.   Pollsters ComRes questioned 615 viewers for ITV News half-way through the two-hour show and found Farage was rated best performer followed by Miliband and Cameron,  with the Scottish National Party's Nicola Sturgeon on 18%, Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg on 10%, Green Natalie Bennett on 7% and Ms Wood on 2%.

Only caught the last quarter of this (prior engagement, namely a dress rehearsal for a Passion Play), but very hard to call that one.

Sturgeon is leading in the YouGov poll so far (with half counted), with Farage second and Miliband third.

So, the 'winner' isn't standing in over 90% of the seats...
