British General Parliamentary Elections, on May 7

Finally found the best source on American TV (C-SPAN Channel 738, via Charter-Spectrum) to follow the upcoming British general (parliamentary) elections, scheduled for May 7. Such a profound contrast to the softball treatment directed toward American candidates; the anchor asks real, pointed questions. The candidates are required to at least make an effort to answer his queries. When they don't, SKYTV's Jeremy Paxton keeps asking till he gets something like a satisfactory response. However, Mr. Paxton appeared to be much harder on Ed Miliband (Labour) than on David Cameron (Conservative). That kind of bias seems almost universal these days. Anyway, I was impressed by Mr. Miliband's poise, intelligence, and what seemed like his basic integrity. I'm going to "like" Ed Miliband, since that's all I can do on his behalf. Was pleased to discover during the televised debate (not live here) that Labour and Tories are running neck-and-neck, at least. I guess I just figured the Tories had "manufactured the consent," vis-a-vis the British corporate media, to coast to victory, even if it be a close one. I can only hope there is great disaffection amongst Britons regarding Conservative policies: Austerity, cuts to the social safety net; messing about with the National Health Service, etc. Go Ed! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a very large turnout come May 7th. (Here's a synopsis of the debate, from "The Independent;" couldn't find a link from SKYTV). http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/generalelection/general-election-tv-debate-the-real-winner-jeremy-paxman-10140318.html Also, coming up: http://www.c-span.org/video/?325021-1/british-political-party-leaders-preelection-debate
