Nicola Sturgeon won the debate according to snap poll ! Told you ! This wasn't so much the "I agree with Nick" debate as it was the "I agree with Nicola" debate! A person who has run a nation, but spoke like an ordinary person. Cameron has run a nation but looked like he was sneering down his nose at the other leaders, while wanting to go for a poo...only he can pull that off. Miliband and Cameron are both tainted by government, Clegg looks like he will lose his seat on that performance. Farage can only gain. Whether there is any bounce in Wales for Plaid, I don't know. Greens might gain one or two.
