I know it's a presentation forum but who do people think are winning?

I feel Gordon Brown has got the better of David Cameron.


I personally thought Gordon Brown came out best of the three, which I'm surprised at. I thought Cameron would walk it. I thought Cameron was actually quite weak and I didn't buy into half of the LibDem policies. I thought Brown did come across as a man of substance and performed well given all the flack he gets in the media.

Sky News TV is using the final figures of Cameron 31%, Brown 32%, Clegg 37%.

Let's see how the Murdoch press spin that one tomorrow.


Weird how the Sky figures changed so dramatically, with Cameron going from first to third. Loved the touchscreen analysis with Martin Stanford.


I was taking part in the polling, and those first figures came up while I was still being asked. Seems that running totals were appearing on the flash application online before all the responses came in, and they made the mistake of mentioning those incomplete totals on TV.

I do like politics, but as a primetime tv viewer i did think i would end up turning off, but I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I have always supported Labour, although i am tempted to vote Lib Dem because i would like to see just what they would do in power, something different as they keep saying.

I was just going to say exactly the same thing.

He really makes Prime Minister's Question Time's analysis, and now the leader's debates analysis fascinating viewing.

Wacthing Campaign 2010 - surprised they didn't use this set , much better looking!
They had a TV Format expert in the audience - said what some others have said - looks like an 80's gameshow.

I was very much underestimating things when I predicted something like 3 to 5 million yesterday. I reckon 11 million were watching. We'll see tomorrow.

Will tonight's ITV debate be just on ITV, and if so what will be the point of BBC News and Sky News being on air as everyone interested in news will be watching ITV.


Heh. How funny. Have you been in contact with Brekkie? Very Happy

Definitely not. Commercial breaks would have completely disrupted the flow.
