Afterthoughts on TV Debate 2

Well, this was certainly much more entertaining than last weeks fare. Much better performances from all 3, and only 1 mention of the 'Special Relationship'. Still looks like Clegg gave the best performance, and it looks more and more inevitable that we're heading for a Hung Parliament.

Final verdict: Better than the first debate, but a lot of repeating old ground. Soundbites are sounding more and more obvious now.

The Televised Debate: Round 2

I didn't cover my thoughts prior to the 1st debate, but all I've got to say is that I was just as surprised as everyone else by Nick Clegg's performance. He actually seems to have some sort of personality! Shocking!

Anyway, 2 weeks on from the first ever TV Leaders Debate and we're ready for the 2nd helping courtesy of Sky. Now its International Politics on the agenda, and it'll be interesting to see just what the three of them have to say about our dwindling status as a world power. Still, at least we have Trident...if Clegg doesn't have his way.

Predictions:

What'll be discussed: Afghanistan, fallout of Iraq, Iran.

What'll be avoided: The EU.

What'll annoy me for being discussed: The UK-US 'Special Relationship'. Bleugh.
