Fluff, pretty face and Old Parties.....

I have been avidly watching the Political debates in the UK. I know that some people find them boring but I have been captivated by the way this contest has shaped up. I was starting to feel sorry for poor old Gordon but then he slandered that poor woman on International television. It has been played up and played down in the press but the key point for me was the fact that the soundbite that is left, is that an old lady in Rochdale is a bigot. That's not right.

I think that the inclusion of the Lib Dem's in the debate has been a galvanising factor and I hope the turnout reflects that. I also think a hung Parliament would be disastrous for businesses and whichever party is to lead the Country needs to make some hard cuts, we all know this and they need a mandate to be able to get on with the job in hand.
I am not a fan of Nick Clegg, I see too many Tony Blair mannerisms, too much style and too little substance but I think that this may open the election up in future years for other parties, and that is no bad thing.

Here is my take on yesterdays events:

Gordon Brown: Thanks you......Mistake.....Economy...More of the same.....conservatives bad, David is Satan.
Nick Clegg: Immigration amnesty....sad eyes....Economy fluff....Pretty face....Old Parties....Change to something new but not sure what.
David Cameron: Big Society....Hard choices....Pull together....Invest in new business.

Gordon: Conservatives bad.....David eats babies....bad for families.
Nick: Fluff....Pretty face...Old parties....Change.
David: Immigration cap....English Industry....English jobs...Euro bad....Vote for change.

That is how I viewed the debate. I was disappointed that Nick Clegg really didn't really have any policies and the ones he did have were not thought through properly. I am also not convinced that he is strong enough. He got a "bitchslap" from Cameron and Brown over immigration and his support of the Euro and really didn't seem to cope too well.
I found Gordon to be on his best form although that means very little. I am stunned at his hatred of anything Conservative and his message appears to be, "Vote for me as I'm not David Cameron". Not a great strategy and very negative.
David Cameron fared well. He had the most cohesive message and I thought was clearer than the others on what he intends although none of them will tell us the extent of the cuts they will really have to make.

Make me PM, I can sort out the economy in seconds, we will line up our economy with Tony Blair's investments, he knows how to make money although I guess we have to make the money legally, that may be the fly in the ointment.
I see that TB is hitting the campaign trail for Gordon. Seems to me that Gordon really doesn't want to win this election, who needs to be reminded on the bad things that can happen when a nutter runs the Country, corruption spikes, people die and morals are ground beneath the hobnailed boots of "a society fair for everyone", time for a change, I think.
