One of the ‘must see’ TV moments each week for me is Kevin Maguire on Sky News the 10.30 slot. So when he gives his opinion on the Leaders’ Debate in the Mirror I take a real interest.
He writes … The winner was Nicola Sturgeon and the loser was Nigel Farage . She landed punches and he punched himself in the face.
The immediate polls were all over the place but in a seven-way battle favouring outsiders, I reckon the SNP leader grabbed her big chance with both hands.
And Farage’s poisonous politics win cheers from a minority but his nastiness builds a wall to trap Ukip.
The fighting performances of Sturgeon, Plaid Cymru’s Leanne Wood and the Greens’ Natalie Bennett illustrated why the old days of two-party politics,or more recent three-party politics, are dead and gone.
