Nick Clegg seizes his moment in historic TV debate summarized by janne

Summary
Leader of theLiberal democrats, Nick Clegg, won Friday night’s debate by far. He was the first one to overcome his nerves and within minutes after the debate more than 61% of the voters said that he had won the debate. Leader of the Labour party, Gordon Brown, sought common with Nick Clegg in order to isolate the third speaker, David Cameron, however Mr. Clegg smoothly avoided friendly contact from Mr. Brown. This debate was of big importance because it was the first time the three leaders had a debate face to face. For the first time in years the Liberal Democrats seemed to have a hope of giving them a run for their money.

Own opinion
My opinion on the article’s content is that it is of rather big importance to know the information given in the article when you are from Britain since the debate had a large influence on the countries future. The article is well written because you get the main point clearly and it summarizes the entire event. What I found rather funny is that the current Prime Minister (Gordon Brown) scored the lowest percentage of voters.
