"UK’s first televised debate subdued" by Paisley Dodds, Associated Press | April 16, 2010
LONDON — British voters fixed their eyes on television screens across the country for the first US-style political debate yesterday — a historic event billed as an exciting prelude to one of the closest elections in years....
Initial polls handed a surprising victory to the third-place Liberal Democrats’ Nick Clegg, 43, - who looked relaxed with his hand resting in his pocket. He also spoke confidently and passionately — often looking intently into the camera or to the audience — about topics ranging from immigration to greed in the banking industry. Some bookmakers last week thought Clegg would be the worst performer in the first debate and the first to sweat.
That is what they are betting on in a political debate?
Ooooohhhh!
How about the first one to fart, who won that pot?
A ComRes poll said 43 percent of the people thought Clegg was the clear winner; 26 percent thought the Conservatives’ David Cameron won, and 20 percent thought Labour’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown won. There was about 11 percent who thought there was no clear winner. ComRes sampled about 4,032 people by telephone immediately after the debate for ITV News.
Gordo held up the rear, huh, ha-ha-ha!
A Populus poll for The Times showed 61 percent of the respondents gave Clegg the win, while 22 percent said they thought Cameron won, and 17 percent thought Brown won. The sample size was more than 1,000 people.
And again!
An audience member in the debate described Clegg as the “Barack Obama of British politics.’’
Get his promises in writing.
The British prime ministerial debate — the first of three — was more subdued than US presidential debates or even the vicious exchanges often seen in Parliament....
Zzzzzz, what, what? Nodded off for a second there.
My printed matter has more stuff on Labour catching up to Conservatives in the polls, and the promise of more elections if no one wins a majority.
It's not worth adding, folks.
