Britain's first ever election debate plus marriage and taxation

Britain's first ever election debate, and the three main party leaders squared up to each other in front of a live audience: will it make a difference to the result on May 6th? And is British society broken and would tax breaks for married couples make a difference?  And why politicians think their wives may hold the key to electoral success.  All that in Politics UK.  Presented by Edward Stourton.
