Britain’s first televised campaign debate

Nick Glegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, came out as the winner of Britain’s first televised campaign debate between party leaders. While Gordan Brown, the Prime Minister, and David Cameron, the conservative leader were busy focusing on each other Nick Glegg gave a relaxed and personable performance. Just in a few minutes Nick Glegg was voted the winner of the night with 61 per cent, David Cameron got 17 per cent of the votes and 17 per cent voted for Gordan Brown. The three party leaders mostly called each other by their first names, but as the debate grew more heated full names did creep in.


This article helped me understand a little bit more about Britain’s politics, since I have never really paid attention to it before I had to read the article. From what I have read and listened to I do think that Nick Glegg was the right winner of this debate. I find it pretty weird that they have never had live debate between the three of them before, so I think it is a good thing that they finally made it happen. I think that Nick Glegg has a good chance at winning and if he does then I think that a lot of things will change.

  1. I totally agree with you, Nick Clegg was the right winner. I was watching news today and He would be the perfect candidate to run England. He could help his country to regain power and become a great nation again. I truly believe that he is the right person to rule. But let us not strive forward, lets see how he does on the tonight's debate.
