Everyone has said on this so far how well Clegg is doing, they are right he is and I think he has been told to look directly into the camera by his "people" to appear more sincere and genuine.

I think we will see a shift in the polls with LD's climbing a couple of % over the next couple of weeks.

Totally agree - he is coming across as 'Honest Nick'

Poor Dave can't do the 'caring sharing thing' - sounds like Diana!

Dave does a fist whilst talking about what he wants to do , which says closed dishonesty to me. Open hands mean honesty.

Brown shakes the stand in the commons when he hits it with his clenched fist at Question Time!

I have no idea, but then again I'm fairly new to all this. Maybe it was a coalition or something? It would have been wartime 65 years ago wouldn't it?

They all go to the same 'bodylanguage school'... the closed fist thing is supposed to be passion and determination. You'll notice they all do NLP anchoring too... look at their arm ... it moves left and right... left is tory... right is labour... left is GOOD... right is BAD... left is choice... right is evil people eating your children... etc.

OMG, that went quickly.

I think I know more about their camera skills than i learned about policies!

I have always voted labour, even though i live in a lib dem area. Nick clegg has come across so well tonight I would vote for him now, but too scared the tories will get in if i don't vote for labour.

Who in there right mind could vote for "Matey Dave"

Well thats it, see you all same time next week

Well for me, to sum that up....

Clegg was the winner in terms of how well they came across.

Cameron did ok, as I expected really. Nothing special, and unfortunately he let Brown hook him in.

Brown just annoyed me with the constant party politics and attacks. That's not what this was supposed to be about (hence the audience having to be quiet). He had a chance I think to come across better, but let himself down with the attacking. Cameron let himself down by being drawn in, even though I did think at the start he wasn't going to be drawn in.

Others will see it complteley different, depending on strengths of alliegance I guess.

Edit: ARGH! Browns doing it even in his last speech. Attack attack attack. !!!!!!, argh!
