One thing I have picked up on, is how they speak.
Clegg, when speaking states "we" as a whole nearly all the time.
Cameron says "I think" a lot, but also talks in a party sense. So he may say "I think it is right, and we will...."
Brown says "I will, I think". You don't hear him talking as a party whole very much. Everything seems to be what he will do, what he thinks.
I may be wrong, but seems to have come across this way to me when asked about what they will do.
If the body language says a lot, I think this says a lot about the leaders, and where they stand when working as a group. Or maybe I'm just talking rubbish!!0 -

Is there any chance of Nick Clegg getting in as I really like him? .
He has as much chance as getting in as I do, although if it is a hung parliament he gets a bit of clout, not a lot as the magician said...I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0 -

Its up to people to vote Lib Dem!
I would love to see Cam and Brown having to plead with them for a job in a hung parliament!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
(CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84
There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

really liking nick clegg. i think i'd probably vote lib dem in certain constituencies (but not mine). don't agree with them on the id cards though. it's not just about putting more bobbies on the beat. we need more tools to tackle crime. and not just muggers etc. serious organised crime, illegal immigration, people smuggling, benefit and id fraud. i've no objection to having an id card.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0

Thanks LIR, I wanted to study politics at A level but not enough people at my school wanted to take it up. I think it is interesting. Who do you think you'll vote for, if you don't mind me asking?
I will be voting conservative.
This is not an easy a decision as those who know me here might guess. I do not like my tory candidate much. I live in a Lib Dem area, and the lib dem MP is poor, and ....I do not find them to be honourable. I would ''waste'' my vote on a libertarian if we had one standing, but we do not. I would vote for a right/centre green focused part if there were one, but there isn't.
So, my choice, practically is between the lib dem, and the tory.
I like Nick clegg a lot. I like some lib dem policies. But for everything I agree with there is at least one thing I do not. I disagree with a lot of tory things too, but the ratio works out better.
I truth, I resent the lack of the right party for me. But....that won't wash on polling day.0 -
