Glegg now faces 10 days that are likely to define his political career. The Liberal Democrats might win more votes than Labour for the first time since 1918. Lib Dem support has slipped in the wake of the more evenly contested second leaders’ debate. Despite that slippage, the Lib Dems are still ahead of labour. So the Lib Dems still have a good chance of coming second in the popular vote, cracking open the mould of the post-war, two-party system. If Lib Dem were to slip behind Labour, Cameron would claim to be the moral victor - from whom Glegg might only be able to secure relatively few crumbs.
I think it would be a good thing for the country if another party will finally win. Were I to live in the United Kingdom I would probably vote for the Liberal Democrats, because I agree with a lot of their stands. Especially their stand to support diplomatic efforts to ensure Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons, but that they do not want to use military action to do that, is in my eyes a very good point. Hopefully the Lib Dems will not slip any further the next ten days, so that Nick Glegg and his party may still have a say about a few things.
