The first televised prime ministerial debate in UK election history was held last night and there's much discussion about who came out best and worst on policy.
After weeks of preparation and practice, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg finally took to the stage to debate. As soon as the credits rolled the party spin doctors were out in force telling the media hordes that their man had come out top.
Whilst the papers have heaped the most praise on Nick Clegg, I can't belive from looking through the papers mysef today, just how much attention is being made to the colour of thier ties, did they twitch much, did they smile enough.
Surely the whole point of these debates is to inform the public of each parties policies - if you took the time to sit and count the column space in todays papers you'd find just a small amount of information on what was actually debated and more column space on who won or not.
