It’s a shame that it took ninety minutes of airtime to let Clegg and the Lib Dems into the mindset of the Great British public but now that it’s happened I regret not placing that bet sooner. I mean for someone who’s been following the Lib Dems closely over the past few weeks, nothing that Clegg said was new or previously unknown but it didn’t need to be, tonight was purely about the moment in the spotlight.

I know the chances of the Lib Dems actually making it individually into power are slim but if you’re fed up with Labour and you used to vote Labour, who are you going to go for? Changing political stance rarely makes sense so the logical switch is to the newly invigorated Liberal Democrats.

In case you haven’t noticed those debates last night confirmed my instincts and pushed me fully to the yellow side of politics.
