No, it was more like when William Hague wore the baseball cap, honestly.

Sue, you're just not down with the kids. And their hippety-hop rap music.

Just looked to see if 'Paint the whole world Green' was on YouTube and, fortunately, it isn't.

Thought tonight's broadcast was good, and could go down in party history as one of the better ones, along with this one (think it was 1999) and I liked the Alex Cox one with the Franz Ferdinand music too, though others didn't (and when Channel 4 accidentally broadcast it with UKIP's subtitles, it wasn't so good, but more surreal than even your giant mushroom suggestion.

After all that I missed all but the last twenty seconds of it! What did people think?

I have the voice of an angel, so I think we should reconsider this no singing ban.

If they had me tap dancing on a huge mushroom and then I'd burst into some gregorian chanting (to take the viewer off guard like) listing our key policy areas whilst holding up pictures of sad kittens and children...

Can't think why they didn't ask me to design the broadcast come to think of it - I've got loads of ideas!

Oh god no. not the rapping thing again. I'd almost...

Oh god no.

not the rapping thing again. I'd almost wiped it out of my mind.

Jesus H Christ - the horror.

I got the same Sue, 9 Sians and 3 green Kens... not that I can vote in London just yet!

oh bother, don't know why it just called me Ladywell - that was me above anyway!

I got 9 Sians and 3 Kens, but the Ken ones were Green policies he took up anyway, so I guess Sian 1 Ken 2 it is - no surprises there!

I think it's important we mention policies in our PEBs and don't have the candidates singing or rapping - that one didn't go down too well, and we still have a few of the bloody CDs kicking around somewhere too!

Right, sunny day, leafleting to be done . . .

I think you could really eff things up with a bad one, and in terms of motivating your supporters it's very useful - on it's own of course it means very little.

But I think attention to detail and a good campaign can make a real difference (for good or ill) so whilst we shouldn't take it out of context as part of the whole I think a good PEB is very useful indeed.

2008-04-15T12:45:00.000Z

How much difference do you think a good/bad PEB makes?

I've never been convinced that it makes much of a difference at all, but people whom I respect beg to differ, so....
