I don't like Clegg. I'm not convinced he really wants to be away from the centre-right. I haven't caught Huhne's delivery yet, but his stance and policies look much better on the page.

Policy wise, there's not much separating them, and both stressed this last night, although Huhne is probably a little more instinctively 'left', and when Nick's attacked for being 'centre right' it's normally associated with the 'orange book' stuff, which this recalcitrant leftie has very little problems with.

So I was watching mostly to see how well they perform, how well they deliver, who comes across as the best potential PM. On that, the 'great communicator' that is supposedly Clegg's main strength did nothing for me. So I'm decided for Huhne pretty much.

I will admit to being shamelessly swayed by Huhne’s “We don’t need a third Tory party”.
