Comment on Liberal Democrats to Win The General Election! by David.

Just to confirm that’s my eldest son, barely ever talks to his Mum online despite having an easy option to chat for free (hint, hint) and sponges of me when he visits when he’s bored during University breaks and wants to talk to interesting people!

He’s been saying for sometime the live TV debates could make a big difference if the Lib Dems seized the moment like various US presidents have in the past (which Nick Clegg did, or to be more precise Gordon Brown and David Cameron were poor handing him the debate).

I argued we don’t have a presidential system, the British electorate vote for the party not the personality of the leader, looks like I might be wrong.

I wonder if Gordon Brown and David Cameron are regretting the decision to participate in live TV debates yet :-) Dumb ass decision by David Cameron, he had the most to loose and lost it! Gordon Brown, what’s he got to loose, barely anyone likes him (I happen to like him BTW) or Labour so if it went badly it’s just another negative in a string of negatives: only so much mud sticks, before it starts falling off.

I think the only reason why Labours support has held up so well despite all the problems is the British people dislike the Tories so much! It’s going to take something really, really bad for the majority of Labour voters to trust the Conservatives again especially with them calling everything wrong on how to deal with the recession!

Will be interesting to see if the Lib Dems become the choice for those who have had enough of Labour, but can’t bring themselves to vote Tory, but also don’t want to waste their vote.

BTW Son, you know you can call me Dad :-)
