Clegg 7/10
Cameron 6/10
Brown 5/10...My take Antony<br /><br />Clegg 7/10<br />Cameron 6/10<br />Brown 5/10<br /><br />Cleggs weakness is Trident. Not sure you spotted this one, its a yes/no with most folk on he street. Its a question on strategic security/place at the UN Security big 5 table.<br /><br />Cameron polished serious style, never really got traction explaining policies. Weakness.. didn't make a pledge not to sack any frontline police or teachers in spending cuts. Challenged on this. No detailed costings of where manifestos cuts will fall in police forces or education. Public see volunteer direction as a cheap gimmick. Public might want some change; but Obama "change" language/soundbits is wearing somewhat thin with public.<br /><br />Brown. incumbent. .weakness...explaining the last 13 years, debt, immigration record, widening rich poor gap let off, bankers bonus's let off; his communication and interpersonal skills. Where do we start. Held his own with his analysis of next years spending/recovery. Public unsure /split on this area of macro economic timing of debt repayment difference between Labour/Conservatives. Smiling poster quip was a classic and probably saved him from a 3/10 oblivion.<br /><br />Non mentioned or included into their answers (90 mins.opening,closing opportunities)the environment, national energy needs (nuclear) or housing..although to be fair the BBC failed to choose questions on these specifically.<br /><br />I agree with you Antony that the speed was too fast from the presenter. I'd like to have seen a question time setup, rather than a US podium type contest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
