Debate 2

Today we have the second Prime Ministerial debate. After Nick Clegg’s winning of last week’s debate, we should look at the challenges facing each.

 

Gordon Brown: He has to perform better. At the moment it looks like his campaign is dead in the water and the polls should a gradual decrease. I don’t know what he can do to be better, as it’s just not him.

 

Nick Clegg: He won the debate by being likeable, putting the rivals into the same bucket and looking like the outsider. I’m not sure he will be able to do the same tonight, it looks like the second difficult album. It depends on how he handles the issues tonight where LibDems can be seen as weak. David Cameron is going to be highlighting LibDem policies, and Nick Clegg needs to be robust. Although he did extremely well, it’s hard to remember anything specific from last week.

 

David Cameron: As has happened twice before, David Cameron needs to perform at his very best and do a relaxed but formidable performance. He needs to be passionate, bang on about the Big Society, and show that the Tories are not amateurs on the international scene. It’s a tough ask – he can do it, but I wish he had last week!

 

Squiffy.
