That the lesser known Clegg came across best in the TV leaders debates is hardly surprising. At a time when people are utterly sick of politicians it's obvious that the fresh faced, under exposed Clegg and his talk of 'real change' would hit a soft spot with the electorate. But if Clegg were to achieve real power he would compound the mistakes of labour - as with most politicians their talk of change just means electing someone different. LibDems have established themselves as anti-business and if the Euro-sceptic British public votes LibDem they will be voting against their very convictions. We need real change on these issues and the LibDems certainly won't give it to us.
Let us pray there is still time left to expose the damage the LibDems would do but the conservatives are now at war on two fronts and it will not be an easy task.
*** it must be said that Cameron's debate performance was poor. He was presented with an open goal when they discussed youth crime and Clegg said that the LibDems would do things differently and yet failed to say what. Cameron should have jumped at the chance to mention 'National Civilian Service' but he failed to say it even once. He also failed to mention the other conservative big policy of returning power to the people. Cameron seemed to suffer a mental block and his numerous mentions of 'the tax on jobs' seemed to be a mental walking stick as his thought process broke down. Sadly though the NI rise is indeed a tax on jobs his constant use of the slogan did not go down well.
