The first of the three big televised debates took the grip of the nation last night, which turned out to be a rather pallid affair. There was no real fighting, and although the party leaders weren't so casual as to joke with one another, there were smiles all round and even some agreement between the parties.
The highlights for me were:
- Nick Clegg's strong performance
- David Cameron telling us Labour had done some good for the country during their 13 years in office.
- Gordon Brown's general amicability
- The 40 year old David Cameron reffered to, who's been working for the Navy for 30 years.
Another note I want to make is about what seems to be the key buzzword for this election. Every party is using it.
Fair. The weather has been so far this week, but there's still plenty of time for a political storm to brew. Though if you aren't signed up to vote you need to before the 20th April to make your opinions count! You can do here:

And finally some numbers, carrying on from the last post.
facebook supporters:
BNP: 13,725
Conservatives: 45,776
Labour: 21,973
Li Dem: 25,529
It looks like the debate has had a significant effect on the number of Lib Dem supporters, and it's probably important to note the group I posted earlier this week about getting the Lib Dems into office has attained 41,211 members.
