How did they all come off? I don't have a telly so I couldn't watch it, what was Nick Clegg like?

It was dull and embarrassing at first, then I switched over to watch a bit of HIGNFY, when I flipped back 10 minutes later, it'd really warmed up and they were going hammer and tongs at each other. *g*

Clegg defo came off best, but that doesn't surprise me because he had most to gain, least to lose. I personally thought Gordon was much better than I could have imagined, quite aggressive and frighteningly jokey and smiley - he seemed to be enjoying it most of all. I thought Cameron did poorly, he appeared smarmy and really couldn't come clean with concrete answers when pushed by the other two, but that's probably down to my personal prejudice and politics (I don't like Cameron!) - opinion was mixed, polls vary, some placing Gordon 2nd to Dave's 3rd and others vice versa but all of them put Nick Clegg 1st.

You might find 'highlights' on You Tube or some of the news sites.

I most likely WILL hunt down some of the highlights and have a look.

I don't like "Dave" myself Joan in work hates him and calls him the "Chinless Wonder!"
I'm finding that I've really got to pay more attion to this election than any of the others I've voted in since I started voting I'm undecided something which has NEVER happened before.

Adam in work is 21 and he's voting for the first time, it's nice because we can talk about the parties and politicians without getting worked up because he's something of a blank slate when it comes to politics, in a way it's rather sweet he's SO Excited about voting!
