Debate Predictions

By Natalie Powell @NatalieDPowell

With just over an hour to go, the leaders of 7 political parties are preparing for the first and only live televised debate of the general election campaign. 

Conservative leader,  Prime Minister David Cameron will come face to face with his rival for the top job, Labour's Ed Miliband in the two hour debate.   However they will be joined by five other candidates...including the leaders of smaller parties like the Greens and regional parties from Wales and Scotland. 


Politics.co.uk's Parliamentary Editor, Alex Stevenson, gives his predictions about what the debate might look like.



It has taken weeks of negotiation for Prime Minister David Cameron to agree on a debate format, Alex Stevenson explains one of the possible reasons behind why the Prime Minister preferred to appear in a seven-way debate.
