Election debate 7

Q7: Some people abuse the benefit system - what you going to do?

Clegg: We need to encourage people to get off benefits, and at the moment it often is not worth it! We need to give incentives to work, which is what our tax system will go. We also need to reform the state pension system.

Brown: You need to be compelled to work, you cannot refuse jobs after 6 months. We should have no life on the dole. Pensions will be linked to earnings in 2012.

Cameron: We should say to people that if you can work we will help. But if you are offered a job that you can take, but don't then you cannot get the benefits. Attacks Brown's answer again.

Comment: It's getting boring listening to Cameron and Brown attacking people. There is very little difference between the parties, forcing people off the dole - only the Lib Dems have anything interesting to say, and that is what they've been saying on every issue - reform the whole tax system. There are plenty of accusations, but they are wasted because the issue is clear and the answer is clear - and they are all agreed on sorting it out. In many ways this one seems a bit semantic.

NB: Gordon Brown's head shaking is quite a sight tonight!
