The British elections transformed during the first live campaign debate, on the 16th of April, between party leaders Nick Clegg (democrates), David Cameron (conservatives) and Gordon Brown (prime minister).
By playing the outsider - reffering to his fellow contenders as “these two”- Mr Clegg tried to present himself as an alternative to the other two parties. He said, “the more they attack each other, the more they sound the same”, putting himself above the other two. The Prime Minister noticed Mr Clegg’s strategy and saught to strike common cause over a range of issues. This also made Mr Cameron look isolated. But to avoid a Labour bear hug Mr Clegg rejected the Prime Ministers’ attempts and said: “There is nothing to support.”
Politics in other countries has never had my attention.
I think it is a step in the right direction for Britain to show the debate live on television. And also if the Liberal Democrates win this elections, which seems to be a great possibility looking at this debate. The way Nick Clegg handled the debate really appeals to me, he did not try to defeat the other two. Just stand his ground and hold on to what he believes in, this way he will certainly win the elections. What would you choose? Someone who squabbles with his contenders or someone who stays cool and still defend his grounds?
