I disagree. Cameron was more focused and didn't really get entwined with the bickering between Clegg and Brown.

But it's a debate, he is meant to interact. He did what he did last week, it took the format of a political speech and looked unnatural. The debate might be a stupid format though, but his best moment what calling Brown out on the leaflets.

Funny how this week we had Cameron saying "I agree with Gordon" (twice?), instead of Brown saying "I agree with Nick".

The winner gets some momentum in the news cycle that follows. Clegg did well but the 24 hours of "Clegg wins the debate" stories would have had a bigger impact than the debate itself IMO.

Well I suppose we'd at least be able to show just how ineffectual the immigration system has been in recent years by finding out just how many people have lived here illegally for a decade or more.... Perhaps that's why Brown doesn't want one - it'd expose all the rhetoric and ineptitude of his pathetic party.

These snap polls are just silly. They're all over the place.

Yup I think draw. There are silly but if you look at The Sun and The Mail they can use the first poll as indication Cameron won. The Mirror will use the other two to show that Cameron lost.

Polls. Who cares what other people think? I'll be voting for the party I think represents the best compromise for the majority of my views. It won't be New Labour or the BNP.
