A quote from the Guardian, just after the first party leaders debate prior to the 2010 General Election:
“Nick Clegg has surged into contention as a potential prime minister, according to a Guardian/ICM poll carried out following last night’s TV leaders’ debate.
A quarter of voters who watched the three leaders on the ITV programme say they will switch their vote, with most changing to theLiberal Democrats.”
And from the Telegraph….
“Exploiting his equal billing with the two main party leaders,*Mr Clegg presented himself as the voice of “fairness” and challenged his rivals to be honest with the public. His tactics appeared to have paid off with three separate polls putting Mr Clegg far ahead of Mr Cameron and Mr Brown.”
Come 2019, it will be interesting to re-read some of this year’s articles…
