On the night of April 16th the first TV debate in history was held between prime-minister Gordon Brown, conservative leader David Cameron, and liberal-democratic leader Nick Clegg. According to the poll of The Times, Nick Clegg is the big winner with 61% of the votes, followed by David Cameron with 22% and Gordon brown with 17%. Clegg is the good alternative between the main parties which has been leading the country for 65 years. According to Nick Clegg, those two parties sound the same anyway, so he thinks it’s time for an actual change now.

My opinion:
I do not really know anything about the elections in England, but by reading this article I think it is pretty unusual for a liberal-democratic leader to win a first TV debate held in history with 61% of the votes. I think Clegg has been smart by telling the people that the other two just fight a lot, but say pretty much the same things anyway. I think this gives a good view of how the elections has been during the past 65 years. By just looking at this article, I think it is great that the liberal-democrats finally got a chance in this election.

Hello Patty,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree with your opinion and hope that the liberal democrats will get a chance in this election. Maybe it is time for the Liberal democrats to rule instead of the Labour part or Conservative party.
Regards,
Jasper
