Leaders’ debate: opening statements

The leaders have made their opening statements  – how much can you tell about how they will be attacking tonight’s election debate?

Judge for yourself:

Natalie Bennett

“You were told that austerity and inequality, bankers’ bonuses and tuition fees were inevitable, they were not. You all deserve better.”

Nigel Farage

“There are six other party leaders on this platform tonight they may all look different but actually on some of the big issues that effect this country they are very much the same.”

Nick Clegg

“I think its pretty obvious that no one standing here is going to win this election outright – so you’re going to have to choose, like you did last time, who’s going to have to work with whom.”

Nicola Sturgeon

“This election is a chance to change the Westminster system so that it serves you better.”

David Cameron

“Five years ago this country was on the brink, we had millions of people unemployed and we had one of the biggest budget deficits anywhere in the world.”

Leanne wood

“I’m speaking to everyone back home in Wales tonight, I’m, from the Rhondda and I understand all to well the difficulties that have been faced by our communities in recent years.”

Ed Miliband

“Here is what I believe. Britain succeeds when working people succeed. But that’s not the way its been over the past five years.”
