Well, my vote will be as far away from "Call me Dave" as possible. Whether that's Labour or the Lib Dems, i'm undecided.

Mr Clegg gave a pretty good performance in the debate last night. I think he opened a few peoples eyes so it'll be interesting to see if he can build momentum.

I'm on the fence between Gordy and Nick.

This is the danger. The UK is heading toward a "presidential" style where the policies are less important than how "sexy" the leader is.

Have those that have "had their eyes opened" by the debate not been following politics for the past while?

Eddie should have dressed up like Maggie to do this!

Well that's the thing. There is that risk for sure but as the only one to provide numbers backing up his proposals, he stood out to people. Plus old Vince Cable is on a roll.

Still, as long as it's not Cameron and his goons, i'm not that fussed.

It's been a personality contest between the leaders for years already. What you have to remember is that the vast majority of the electorate are idiots.

It's easy to quote numbers when you know you'll never have to stand by them though.

Tis true. I notice much of the larger figures have been scrutinised yet have not been disputed. Well, from the reviews i've seen anyway.

Then they get what they deserve, whether it be a Scottish, half blind, moron; an Etonian, "nasty", rich bugger; or a "nice, great bloke" who has all the answers

Maybe he will have to stand by the figures!

It's interesting that in theory based on the swing to the liberals in the poll labour would be 3rd in the popular vote but have the largest number of seats!

As Alan as said, it could be argued that this has been the case for a long time.

I'll be supporting Eddie Izzard in Calgary next month, so does that mean I am supporting Labour by proxy?
