hmmm
"As for Clegg, I remember thinking that it was indeed a historic debate – the moment when the idea of a third force in British politics finally shrivelled under the Manchester TV lights. He was by far the worst, with many of his answers seeming to be semi-masticated versions of something Cameron had already said."

fairly sure I must have seen a different debate

Cameron once went to Portsmouth.
He also met a black man once.

Yeah, me too
I watched it last night, and whilst all three of them were a bit one-note in terms of their party line drum-beating, Clegg came across as by far the most assured and most likeable, and most of the media reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. The above is someone trying desperately to stem the tide

lib dems seem to be the only ones who've put in thought about how to achieve their policies as well
you are right about them trying to stem the tide.

What annoys me most about the Tories banging on about 6 billion of efficiency savings
is that Cameron is on record about 18 months ago saying that efficiency savings are a trick. And yet now he's staking his manifesto on it.

Cunt.

he's such a dick
it's worth voting for lib dems merely because Clegg isn't a complete tool.

And Clegg outlined a few policies that aren't either
a) half-inched

b) flimsy as fuck

c) obviously bullshit (see Al's example above)

Exciting times
A general election that's not a foregone conclusion. First time since 1992. I am positively tumescent with anticipation

They were all shit, Clegg included.

isn't it just?
it's getting to the point that I think they are all so shit I want Clegg to win just to piss the others off.

You're not allowed an opinion.
A lamb chop, yes, an opinion, no.
