Who are these three people ..... and is there an election coming up?

[Kirkland Laing]

According to the polls Clegg walked it, Brown came second and Cameron third. Or maybe it was Cameron second and Brown third. That's how interested I am, I won't watch it. I'm interested to know the viewing figures though. I's guess closer to ten million than twenty, people are disgusted by them and rightly so. Maybe there'll be a novelty factor in the viewing figures but I'd guess the second and third debates will be closer to ten than twenty for sure.

If Clegg performs like that in the next 2 debates, I could see Lib Dems getting up towards 25% of the National vote. Would put them in a strong position in a hung parliament. For once it may not be a wasted vote

If they get 25% that probably puts them in front of Labour....but probably means that Cameron would be in the hot seat.... I would love to see a situation where the Lib Dems maybe nudge up towards 30%, but form a coalition with Labour in which Clegg becomes PM, and Gordon Brown has to swallow his pride, and take a demotion and move back to No 11 as the Chancellor. Then he can go back to actually dealing with the mess he's left.

And as for the bullshit Al, they had people in straight away as it's being used for fertiliser in farms across the north.

I haven't seen it in full, but by all accounts it appears that Clegg was the only one saying anything remotely interesting. He is trying to set the Lib Dems apart as somewhat anti-establishment and I think it is the correct approach. People are not happy with Brown who represents the party of war and who was chancellor whilst the economic bubble was brewing. He is not a responsible leader and to try and paint himself as being so is false. Cameron provides no real alternative and TBH I see little distinction between Labour and Tory right now. The Lib Dems aren't massively different, but they are realistic about things and Clegg seems to have his head screwed on straight. I hope a lot of people do become swayed by him. Hung parliament or not, I want to see as many votes go to the Lib Dems as possible. It's time for a sea change in British politics. The main two parties have been too cosy for too long and it's time for the people to wake up and vote for real change. We all know what the Tories are and now Labour has shown us for too long what it is now about.

Voting for Lib Dem isn't aiming for real change though is it.

agreed

almost like voting to no vote

[Gandalf]

To an extent I would agree. But considering how the main two are going about things, the Lib Dems are like a breath of fresh air. They are the only viable alternative and the only hope of anything remotely positive or different.

[superheavyrhun]

I was watching Question Time after the debates, and the presenter asked Labour's Ed Milliband:

"Wouldn't a hung parliament be the worst possible result?"

He replied: "It's not the worst POSSIBLE result, no...."

I suppose it depends on how big the change you're looking for is. There's the far right and the far left who would be willing to destroy the current system for you, but I don't see either side's arguments getting enough oxygen to build any kind of base. The Greens are proposing their environmental revolution and promising 500,000 new "green" jobs. I think the real choice has to be which part of the middle ground do we take.
