Debate night again. On Tues there was a Scottish election debate, with Alastair Carmichael (centre) representing the Liberal Democrats well. The audience particpated, the politicians argued in a fairly good-natured manner and it was very good entertainment. Alastair Carmichael and Jim Murphy, the Labour Scottish secretary are both terrific wind-up merchants. David Mundell of the Conservatives also had the odd cheeky comment to throw in. Angus Robertson of the SNP was more serious and aloof and struggled to get his points across.
The national Leaders' Debate this evening will be a high pressure event, with a massive amount to win or lose. Nick Clegg will be under some pressure to perform again and show that the Lib Dems have indeed some substance......but not half as much pressure as the other two, who still have'nt really developed an effective election strategy.
On the news this morning there was an article about the massive rise in registrations to vote among young people and students. Of the five students that Bill Turnbull was interviewing, all five said they were going to vote Lib Dem.
Something has changed for the better, and there may be more to come yet. Let's hope there is something good to report tomorrow.
