British election tv debate called a draw

As Brits prepare for elections on May 9, the second television debate between the three main party leaders was considered a draw. This reflects the latest opinion polls which suggest no single party is on course to win an outright majority. Conservatives with a third, lib dems and lab only  two to five points behind.

A hung parliament would raise questions over who would form a government, and calls for a reform in the electoral process.

While Nick Clegg, Lib Dem leader, was widely acknowledged to have won the first debate, his opponents, Gordon Brown, Labour and David Cameron conservatives sharpened up their act considerably in the last debate. Brown told his viewers that Cameron was a danger for the economy; Cameron demanded from Brown that Labour withdraw their accusations that the conservatives would cancel free bus passes for pensioners.
When Clegg said he planned to scrap plans to modern the nuclear submarine fleet, Brown interrupted and said, get real, Nick!  The viewers then heard Cameron say the unfamiliar words: "I agree with Gordon."
