Quick election debate blog

Ok, last time round I discussed the possibility (nay, the likelihood) of a Conservative minority Government. Nick Clegg's performance last week in the TV debate would appear to opened up the election debate. Oft-used phrase, but never truer than in this case; it really is ALL to play for.

What has been most interesting is that the UK newspapers have tried their best to be relevant in this election by attacking Nick Clegg. How very predictable. It is this blog's opinion that their effect will be minimal. The broadcast media, if any will have the greatest influence. Plus, it has been clear to the British public for decades that Newspapers have ceased to report the news anymore. Rather they are opinion pieces with an agenda to push.

For them therefore, Nick Clegg is seen as a threat to the right-wing press. Nick Clegg clearly has to go.

If this works, remains to be seen. I doubt it will. I certainly wouldn't advise either Cameron or Brown to pursue the point. Dirty tricks and negative campaigning have not resonated with the British people this time as it may have in previous elections.
