I think we're almost unanimous in saying that Clegg won that debate.
As for who I want to win... still David Cameron, as much as he's trying to convince me otherwise.

I agree with you fully on Clegg winning. I also want Cameron to win even if he didn't deserve to today.
However my point was maybe we could have a different thread for the next two debates (SkyNews) (BBCNews) allowing us to decide each debate individually rather than mashing them all together.
To me politics is failing, the main three anyway. Although Clegg had a good 90mins today. Don't be suprised if "other" parties get yet higher results than previous years. I wouldn't be suprised if one of them breaches 1 million again...

UKIP could break 1 million if they're extremely lucky, coupled with an increased turnout which should be expected for a 'close' election. None of the others can come close to 1 million though. The electoral system prevents any major paradigm shift - nothing much will change, the 2.5 party system is going nowhere ;)

They are who I would vote for if I could. However, I was more refering to the protest vote (BNP) which hit 943,598 votes last time around.

Under a proportional voting system for the 2009 European Parliament Elections. The two elections are completely incomparable (unfortunately, because it would be great to see UKIP in second place for a General Election, but it ain't gonna happen :P ). 'Last time' the BNP actually got under 200,000 votes.

If Conservatives had followed up their promise of avoiding Europe then UKIP and Conservatives would ahve virtually being the same party! Also 200,000 people is alot, they will likely be in the top 5 parties and have a seat or two. Certainly in my area they are very popular.
