The third position is a new setback for Prime Minister, played his last card in this discussion [...]]]> The two polls released immediately after the debate gave the first clear winner Cameron virtual, ahead of Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, who with his performances in the previous two revolutionized the traditional British two-party system.

The third position is a new setback for Prime Minister, played his last card in this discussion focused on the economy, his favorite subject, especially the day after a microphone that would capture his contemptuous indiscreet remark about a pensioner which he called “sectarian”.

“There is much to do in this work. As you saw yesterday, I do everything right,” said Labour leader trying to close the series input the faux pas in this discussion organized by the University of Birmingham (central England).

“But I know how to steer the economy in good times and bad (… ) And as a result, the UK economy is on the road to recovery, “the prime minister, who aspires to be first elected to the post he inherited from Tony Blair in 2007 after being 10 years his finance minister .

But Cameron, who heads the voting intention polls without the necessary majority to govern, responded to the attacks of his rival, arguing that the “economy is stagnant and the British” need a change to put in motion. “

The economic argument was mano a mano between Brown and Cameron, in which the former claimed that the Conservative plan to cut public spending would jeopardize recovery still fragile (GDP grew only 0.2% in the first quarter), and the second accused the government of “waste” and of wanting to “tax the jobs.”

But the conservative, who competes in freshness and telegenia with Clegg, he misses the first opportunity he had to deal a blow to the Liberal Democrats, who claims Britain”s eventual entry into the Eurozone in the future, remembering that if British Eurosceptics your country has adopted the euro would serve their taxes now to “rescue Greece.”

As since the campaign began, viewers did not get many details about the specific measures taken to cut matches a deficit of around 163,000 million pounds (190,000 million euros, 250,000 M dollars), about 12% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 3% before the crisis.

debate again encouraged the immigration issue, currently the second most interest to the British, and both Cameron and Brown was accused of plotting an “amnesty” for illegal immigrants.

“It makes no sense. I think it”s a complete mistake that would make the bad situation we”ve had for 13 years of Labour would be even worse,” he lashed out at conservative like his rivals seemedd50to feel more comfortable with this exercise before this year was unprecedented in the history of UK.

Cameron was declared clear winner by 1151 41% of viewers surveyed by the institute YouGov for The Sun newspaper , against 32% who were inclined to Clegg and 25% for Brown. Another poll, by ComRes for the chain also gave IVW 35%, 33% and 26% of the vote respectively.

“Unless there is another earthquake, David Cameron is on course to Downing Street “analyst estimated the leftist daily The Guardian, Jonathan Freedland, for whom Brown had a performance” solid, but most of the time spoke a technocratic language that the British simply did not speak. “

” From the perspective of the insurgents, this tension is made by the recent arrests of several insurgent leaders high profile in Pakistan by local authorities and the elimination of many commanders based in Afghanistan, “he said.
