Voters across Gwent took their seats for a tightly matched contest last night, as seven party leaders debated which of them deserved a cross in the ballot box.

David Cameron for the Conservatives, Ed Miliband for the Labour Party, Nick Clegg for the the Lib Dems, Nigel Farage of UKIP, Natalie Bennett for the Green Party, Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP and sole Welsh voice Leanne Wood for Plaid Cymru took their podiums at the ITV studio in Salford.

They grappled with the economy, immigration, the NHS and education - but who came out on top?

Monmouthshire Council leader Peter Fox tweeted his support for the Prime Minister, with Newport's Helen Reynolds imagining the leaders pumping themselves up halfway through.

Argus news editor Maria Williams reflected on a shift towards what could be a more plural political landscape:

But despite the presence of the Green's Natalie Bennett, climate change was overlooked according to Llantarnam Labour cllr David Daniels:

With no clear winner in the polls, Newport West Plaid Cymru candidate Simon Coopey had this to say:

But even if the debate didn't help you decide which way to vote, at least it provided inspiration for this Lego art.
