Most of the morning newspapers lead on the election and the chances of a hung parliament following Nick Clegg’s sudden rise in the popularity polls.
The Tory and Labour parties must now be bitterly regretting their agreement to the televised leaders’ debates. Until the first of these, the elections were primarily between the two main parties. After ninety minutes of debate it became clear that this election was now a three-horse race.
The leaders’ debates have also turned the election into a sort of Presidential race in which it has been forgotten that we are voting not for Clegg, Cameron or Brown but for our local man or woman, many of whom have served our local communities for years.
And this is a message that seems to have been forgotten as the three leaders slug it out in what has become something of a ridiculous personal popularity show.
