"There's a few big debating fixtures left and at this stage in the contest everything's a cup final for us really" said Vince Cable. However he acknowledged that finishing third would still get them into Europe, which had always been the main target.</p> <p>At the other end of the election table, UKIP and the National Front continued to fight it out for survival. Joining the current wave of popularity for 'scrappage' schemes, UKIP announced they would take two immigrant infants and would give the parents a nice new British orphan to adopt in return. The National Front offered a more direct offering, whereby they would scrap Black and Asian people full stop. Both parties though recognized they were in a fight for survival. "We've got 4 weeks to go" said a determined Nick Griffin "for us, every door we knock on is an electoral six pointer".</p> <p>Meanwhile the controversy over the Chancellor’s debate showed no signs of dwindling. Channel Four maintained it had been quite right to allow just three minutes of extra debating time during the heated exchange at the end, to the fury of Alistair Darling who accused the corporation of being 'Conservative to the Core'. "I've got to be careful what I say" he told Sky's Adam Boulten "but whenever we come here you know the majority of the major decisions have already been made. I mean Vince Cable was off to the toilet for at least 5 minutes, and there were the ad breaks. Three minutes ? We were robbed, I’m amazed John Snow didn’t share the taxi home with them the blind bastard ." </p>
