Clegg doing much better than I'd expected.

He´s by far the best of the three at this, always has been. He just come across as quite a bit brighter than the other two. Toughest job as a party leader at the moment and doing a really solid job.

agreed he is a great speaker and very intelligent.

He's the one under least pressure.

How?  His party is about to lose more than half their seats?  He is under huge pressure.  Easily the most likely leader to get fired after next week.

lol, I think most of us are pretty one eyed about all this bollocks and will just say who we want to win did the best and the other got mullered  

I´m  not sure, watch it again and then read what Mantis wrote. That really did not go well at all for DC.

I thought he did well, and you want to believe the country has rejected conservatism, nuff said!!!  

They haven´t won an election in a generation. Not much for a tory boy to rotflhmfao about there.

Think you've missed his point quite spectacularly!

I quite like Clegg.

Sure he made a promise he was never going to be able to keep. He has stood up and apologised(Tick)

I quite like the fact that he is a likely moderator of whoever gets the keys.

Disclaimer. I don't vote LD.

Doesn't matter how well Clegg did - his party is an irrelevance now, they get votes because of who they're not, not who they are.

Cameron did well enough (though he did wave his dead disabled child about at the first mention of the NHS), Miliband veered back into his politibot mode at times (his 'what's your name?' schtick all the time came across as creepy) and his ruling out a deal with Auntie Nicola was ludicrous.

it was necessary. risked losing english marginals because of it (the one and only part of the tory campaign that worked so far)

he will go for a queen's speech and dare the SNP to vote him down. they can't because it would mean a second election and the risk of conservatives back in

(and the tory party has the most money to fund a second campaign)

That's out of his control unfortunately, but even so he could still be sat at the table whoever becomes Prime Minister

Clegg and Milliband splitting the non tory vote possibly a factor.

Had a look at the early predictions for the weather on Thursday, most people have chosen how the will vote, now it depends on how many each party gets to turn up.

the conservative vote tends to happening in the morning (lots of pensioners) and then labour as workers go home. So labour need a good weather day.

So far it looks dry and warmish.

(Googling things written however, there is little statistical evidence for this though, shame seems a good theory)

Strategically I think it's a good move, he's given up on Scotland and this will play well for him in the English marginals.

I thought Cameron was very good tonight and Miliband was the least comfortable I have seen him throughout the campaign. His assertion that "it flew by for me" seemed very unlikely. Falling off the stage on his way off could happen to anyone but looked incompetent.
