Election 10 Bulletin Part X: Cleggmania

It's interesting, but lets be honest, the success of just one debate does not always give an accurate indicator of an election result, and yes he did very well.
But how people feel now and how they feel in the Polling Booth are two different things. This is not the first time the Liberal Democrats have faced such widespread acclaim. Paddy Ashdown was always a popular leader and in the early 1980s if you wanted to be among those in a trendy and sexy political group, then the SDP/Liberal Alliance was the organisation to be with.
But popularity and charisma do not make good policy. There are some lessons to be learned, one vital one is that people are tired of the "same old, same old", but Labour has a message that can be delivered. We have made mistakes, we are sorry, but that one of the major things we have done is to help protect the Economy from depression during the past three years and that now is the vital time not to cut and run.
Let us put policy before glamour, charisma, and policies that just look good at face value
