The three maestro's stood on their podiums and proceeded to answer questions in turn a bit like automatons. In the game that followed where each waited for the other to make some dreadful mistake, the public were treated to 90 minutes of unimaginative boredom.
Fighting to occupy the centre of british politics as a strategic and tactical manovere Clegg, Cameron and Brown were all performing. .
Clegg played the Romeo and Juliet game...a "plague on both your houses" ..the public can only trust the liberals.
Cameron kept up the pressure of being the "agent of change", whilst keeping his hand concealled...............the real cost of his proposed program of cuts, privatisation and decimating public services.
Ceasar GB tried to appear imperious and in control...the man that gets things done (which indeed he does)
Not one of the 3 approached Tony Blairs abilities to communicate. But in all of this "politics" is the victim reducing issues to media bites and truncating political debate ultimately debases the political system and ensures really contentious and serious issues like Iran and Housing remain unplumbed. perhaps the attempt to turn the Elections into cheap reality TV should be abandoned. This is not Big Brother where we vote who should leave the house but a decison that has fundemental consequences for us all over the next 5 years.
