Actually I thought he did appallingly. I'd have put him in last place after that although the polls seem to suggest he came out second.

Poor show Dave. Better luck in round two.

I would he was appalling. But to put him higher than brown is sad state of affairs. Brown came over all 'listen to me little people you are thick and I know best'.

Very scary to me.

face it people - or as the repetative mr clegg would say, lets be honest -

you want to be honest clegg - YOU HAVE NO CHANCE. It is Brown or Cam - Brown has done nothing but f**k it up for 13 years.

need we say more?

I was not much impressed by any of them cameron came across as the shallow blair clone that he is,clegg was like a boring bank manager(competent sounding but boring)and brown oh dear me!what a sample

Farage would have been far better. he would have livened it up a bit.

Anyone else think that all 3 leaders are really robots? There was something unnervingly unhuman about them all. And who did their makeup it was bloody awful!

he came across as a liar who will promise to every person he speaks to increase spending on any subject close to their heart. the trouble is that because all politicians are liars, the others can not effectively point out to what an extent brown/labour are lying about their spending pledges, because once one liar starts calling another liar a liar, people just get confused over who is the biggest liar. thus brown can lie and it doesn't matter. the others might as well lie just as much.

i reckon cameron should have just done a monkey dust rip off the whole way through: "terrorism to be phased out by 2006...free trips to the moon for pensioners in a magic rocket...magic beans for every household...100 policeman to solve every crime...special robots to cure cancer, made out of gold...all wars everywhere to end...england to win every sporting event in the world...trains that actually turn up".

probably would have polled higher.

Nick Clegg was good, I'm not a Liberal voter but he put in the best performance, and all the opinion polls and newspapers put him way ahead on debating style and engagement. He took more risks then the other two, especially with his views on nuclear weapons.

Gordon Brown was ok, he has quite a non engaging personalty and he did just enough to hold his own. It could have been alot worse for him, as he's not the best communicator and the worst out of the three main leaders.

David Cameron was surprisingly weak considering he comes from a PR background, he usually has a very agressive stance when debating Gordon Brown in the commons, some would say bullying, and was probably told to tone it down by his advisers so as not to alienate voters, which allowed both Clegg and Brown to attack him, and he didn't put up much (if any) of a fight back.

But on the whole this debate was step in the right direction, we got to see all three leaders put out there stall, and even though it was quite long (an hour might have been better) it was not boring at all.

Loads of people on facebook discussing it last night came out with same opinion - that Clegg looks like a good one to vote for.

But they won't vote election day, LD's 25% at best.

Besides we vote for a party, not a preseident.

Then he'll implement his local income tax plan and you'll be screwed if you earn more than a handfull of magic beans.

Great.
