floyd77 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm actually really liking Nick Clegg here, I think he's doing well. This also makes me uneasy as I dont really want my next PM to be 'good on telly', I want him to be a good PM! This is why I like Brown, I like the fact he's obviously not tried (or if he has, he's failed miserably) to 'glam up' for this debate in terms of his delivery etc. I get the feeling he's 'too busy running the country' for this type of thing. I think he's had a hard time since becoming PM, and may not have deserved to be PM in the first place, but I dont see that anyone else would have done any better in his place. Every time Cameron opens his mouth I get the unstoppable urge to shout at the TV as if he can hear me, and cant help but think I'd never tire of slapping him. Clegg keeps making good points, answering the questions instead of deflecting, looks comfortable, he's making the other two look amateurish - I'm finding it hard to think why I wouldn't want him as my next PM, even if he is also good on the telly!

bagger Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 If people stop beliving this, then it might not be such a forgone conclusion. Totally agree. We're all voting Lib Dems at this house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Alastair Stewart is awful here, he's making a right show of it. If he calmed down a little bit he'd do a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that Clegg is making some really good points - from a position of honesty - he is saying what a lot of people think (ie Cameron is representing overprivileged toffs). I still think Libs will not be able to 'go forth and prepare for Government' but I hope that they do play a large part in this election - and maybe these debates will contribute to people thinking they are actually an important force. Hell - I'd vote for them if I thought it might make a difference. In my ward it is Labour all the way (and I will find it difficult to change my habits of a lifetime).

He really is a bafoon, would have been better if it was a question time format with someone less useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only make a difference when people stop thinking like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
