Election debate 1

Q1: How should we tackle European interference?

Cam: In EU but not run by EU. Keep the £ & cut the red tape.

Clegg: On hand experience. Whole lot of things that we can't do on our own, therefore we need to be in the EU. We need to be together - we're better together!

Brown: 3 million reasons why we need to be in EU, JOBS. We are an influence in the EU... when we work together we are so much better.

Comment: Every candidate is hard line on the fact that it is in our interests to stay in the EU. Each argues that there is too much waste but that we need to be in it to be an influence. Cameron wants a referendum and harks back to when he tried to get one, but dropped it. He is rightly pulled up on this by Clegg. Brown is firm in saying that we need to solve the economic problem and as such he needs to work with the right people in EU and thus keep growth and jobs. Cameron is lambasted for joining a fringe group in the EU - and rightly so.

NB - Clegg looking confident, Brown looking better, Cameron looking frustrated.
