The Next Debate, Independent Press and Property Bounce

It was a little sad today to see that many of the papers front pages had gone “Clegg bashing” in an attempt to derail his emergence as a key player.

With the 2nd leaders debate tonight it will be interesting to see how all 3 change tact in order to get the much needed “win” on the night.

However, as my esteemed colleague Rob Gill just pointed out, “British politicians do not try to win elections they wait for others to lose them”. In other words the level of scrutiny is so high now that trying to say nothing much at all is often better than saying something that can then be either pulled apart or lambasted as nonsense, whether taken in or out of context.

The Third Man

It used to be the case that a week was a long time in politics, but now, after the much anticipated Leaders debate last night delivered a surprisingly enticing slice of political drama, 90 minutes can be an entire career.

Enter stage left one Nick Clegg. Making a mockery of Tory claims that Vince Cable had an advantage from the centre position, he took his chance with both hands and delivered a positively authoritative performance which threw the election wide open.
