Today work went very slowly as there was hardly any customers. The day was made much more bearable by the fact that my colleagues are capable of inimitable banter that can be carried throughout the entire day. So even though I spent the majority of the day doing very little, something I despise, I actually quite enjoyed myself. I bought a leather iPod case and Rock Band for the PS3, both in the clearance. I was distraught upon getting home to find that Rock Band is compatible with Guitar Hero's guitar and microphone but not the drums; the main part that I bought it for. Ah well.
On to the election debate of this evening. Up until today I have had very little knowledge of each party's full agendas and I plan on reading their manifestos in the coming days as well as watching these sort of things. However, my opinion based solely on tonight is that David Cameron would get my vote. I found Gordon Brown to be very stubborn with some of his points and rebuttals, often blatantly making the same point two or three times in a few minutes. He also seemed a bit like a bull in a china shop with his plans for saving the economy. David Cameron has a very annoying face, perched upon what appears to be a rectangular head, but negating his appearance he came out on top for me; the main reason simply being that he usually gave answers that I agreed with. I don't even feel that he was giving the "right" answers to get people to like him; he did that with his poe-faced sucking up to members of the audience, but a few of his actual answers were fairly radical and I know for a fact that some people I know disapproved of them, so I got the impression he was being pretty genuine. I have however heard that they have some awful ideas in their manifesto, so I will stand corrected if necessary upon reading it. Lastly was Nick Clegg. I had no idea what the Lib Dems wanted to happen, so was completely unprepared for his standpoints. It turned out that he didn't so much have a standpoint of his own, he was more there to try and belittle David and Gordon in an arrogant, verging on childish, manner, making out that he is Britain's one and only saviour. I found his delivery of answers very rehearsed and insincere. He made snide remarks towards both opposing parties, about the expenses most notably, which I was most amused to see turned back on him by the others within a few minutes. The true winner of the debate though was Alistair Stewart as moderator. I loved how by the end of the show he was screaming at Nick Clegg to get him to shut up and let someone else speak, and scolding everyone for making irrelevant or repetitive points. Alistair Stewart for PM; he'll shout at the bank managers until they forfeit their paychecks for three years, while the troops can return from Afghanistan and trident can be scrapped as no one will dare attack us when he's boss.
