1st Leaders Debate

As promised, I will give my brief view of tonight first ever live leaders debate. I didn't manage to take any notes, but I have it all in the mind. I must admit, I got a little caught up and excited in the whole thing!
As MYP I am impartial, however even the BBC agreed that tonight was Nick Clegg's night. I must say that up until now he was relatively unknown amongst the British people, however today Clegg really did himself and his party proud and it was good to see. British politics is now a bit more interesting and it is no longer a two horse race of "can the Conservatives pull off a 6.9% swing?" and that it is now more of a three horse race than ever. Even the other parties are having their say, with both Welsh and Scottish nationalists gaining popularity. Of course, I'm not saying whether change will happen, as it usually doesn't, but it is nice to see so many different points of view and so many people showing a genuine interest in politics and their country.
Gordon Brown was again sound on his economic policy and showed he wasn't the man portrayed wrongly in the media. Cameron I felt did acceptable, however certainly did not live up to the expectation most had from him. I think nearly everyone was shocked that he did not take over the debate and in fact seemed to lose it.
The next debate will be on Sky, Thursday and promises to be a good one. It's mainly on foreign and international policies, though I'm sure other issues will again be raised.
So with many now unsure on what to expect, all we can guarantee is entertainment! Will Nick Clegg stun us all again and keep his hold in the debate? Will Gordon Brown keep sound on his policies and come back? Or will David Cameron meet the expectation of journalists and the media? Who knows, but we're sure in for a fantastic General Election battle this year!
