Did Nick Clegg steal the show?

Last night's meeting of political party leaders attracted record audiences in the UK with Nick Clegg, David Cameron and Gordon Brown going head-to-head in a live debate. While the two main political parties attempted to grab the higher ground it was Nick Clegg, in the view of many, who sneaked under the radar and attracted the attention of UK viewers. So did Nick Clegg steal the show?

The truth is that Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, had literally nothing to lose with this party trailing in third place and seen as something of a nonentity in UK politics for many years. However, it has to be said that his style and approach to the debate has won over many in the UK but whether this will translate into votes at the election remains to be seen. There was also an interesting relationship between Gordon Brown and Nick Clegg with Gordon Brown agreeing on a number of Liberal Democrat policies and seeming to nod his head in approval at many of Nick Clegg's comments.

However, it was also evident that Nick Clegg was looking to distance himself from both parties on numerous occasions and put the Liberal Democrats fairly and squarely on the map in their own right.
