So, it’s been a week, the volcano business took the edge off the coverage, bet Cameron thanks his gods for that, let us reflect and refract.
Brown
It went as good or as bad as your perceived expectation levels required. It was neither. He didn’t really suffer that much for being in charge of the party in power for oh so long, and he seems like the man suited to the job, but his policies and his party are not. Amazingly, I don’t hate Gordon Brown the man, I do, however, hate Gordon Brown the politician. He’s trying to get in bed with the Lezza Fem-Doms, in a car crash attempt to stay in power. It’s not quite kamikaze, but if the rise of the Cleggerton continues after the next debate, or dare I say it, accelerates, then he’s going to have to go from suck to blow. If the only alternative to the Tories getting in is a power sharing deal between the Lib Dems and Labour, then so be it. Hell, some good might even come of it. Just please get rid of Mandelson. Seems to have been quiet on the post debate rhetoric, apart from wheeling out a few choice ball sacks to say how they ‘won’ this debate. Like fuck.
Cameron
Was generally made to look foolish. A pile of shit with a side of bacon. Did not properly take on the questions from the audience, and didn’t address the attacks from Clegg and Brown. He had his moments, mostly on Tory bread and butter like crime and defence. Come to think of it, those were the only subjects where he made the remotest amount of sense. The rest of the time it was Daily Mail, Statistics and I’m not that posh, just look at my butt head wife, she’s far richer that I am, and that’s why I want to cut inheritance tax, for my own personal goddamn benefit.
A lot has been said of the similarities between Labour and Conservative policies but one thing this debate has thankfully highlighted is just how self serving, how out of touch, how down right untrustworthy Cameron and his party of fuck ends are. I watched some other retard festival on ITV about the debates and they asked the audience who was going to vote Conservative. This horse faced fucking moose put her bint driven bell-shaking arm up in air and just drivelled on about how much of a cunt you have to be to vote for the King of Cunts, David Cameron, esquire. She sounded so rich, you could feel the money oozing out of every pore of her wide-gauge starfish, you knew she had been indoctrinated from birth by Daddy to be this delusional. It exemplified the kind of toss pieces you would be voting into power, the kind of people you would be aligning yourself with, if you decided to tick that box. Don’t. Just don’t. Think of the puppies.
Glecc
There is a reason for using this particular image, and that is, as you may have noticed, there has been a bit of a kerfuffle surrounding Clegg. Some have whispered the name of the Great Leader Who Turned Out To Be Average, Barack Obama, and Nicolarse Clegg, in the same sentence. Now, there are several problems with this. Firstly, Obama was preaching to Americans, a nation of dogs. Simple, excitable, and willing to attempt to devour anything. Secondly, America is a country that kind of a bit voted for George Bush twice. Twice. Twice. Once was not enough for them. Oh no. Thirdly, he came from literally no-where to what is undoubtedly the biggest job in the known universe, apart from, obviously, Operah’s clunge attendant.
A depressingly large number of people will be referring to Clegg as ‘that bloke from the gay party’, but after being entirely ignored for the past forever by the media, to now have a platform with an average 5 million people watching, 10 at its peak, and get across the most sensible policies, generally, was nothing short of a break through, a decisive victory. I doubt, however, it will lead to the overall victory of the Lib Dems, not least because of the system used to determine the party in power, but also because right now the focus is going to be most intensely on Clegg. He’s faltered just a bit this week, and needs to, I hate to say it, up his game, you can tell he’s not used to this level of scrutiny, and the others will come out attacking in Round 2. But if he does excel at the next debate, and manage the attention properly, maybe, just maybe, we can dream. This is being typed with a large cauldron of salt.
So who can win Round 2? Will there be more viewers? Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
I don’t foresee much of a pattern change, which is good, but Clegg can nail it from here, if he’s a little more lively, more passionate, he needs to appear tougher, attack, and show a real edge. Needs to emphasise the third way, the real change without saying the word change, that’s the challenge. It’s worth noting that both Labour and Conservative PR teams hired former Obama staffers for this event, and the party that has gained the most is the one that didn’t. Brown will probably plod to a few more years in government in some capacity, and Cameron will be terminated by whoever manufactured him to win this election.
I look forward to Round 2 with a whetted appetite. Tally ho. Images jacked from b3ta.com
