| Description | Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg's confident performance in Britain's first televised leaders' debate on Thursday has turned the race for the May 6 election upside down.
"It's thrown the campaign wide open," Prime Minister Gordon Brown told the BBC, admitting that he lost the debate on presentation and style.
The normally third-placed Liberal Democrats have forced themselves into the reckoning as voters, disillusioned with the big parties after a deep recession and a political expenses scandal, welcomed Clegg as a breath of fresh air.
The Sunday Times said its poll found the formerly little-known Clegg was now the most popular British party leader since World War Two prime minister Winston Churchill. |
