Are all politicians being bad??

After watching the first election debate I have to say I was impressed with Nick Clegg's performance for the Liberal Democrats and judging by the sudden surge in the opinion polls, so were a lot of people.

But this sudden popularity appears to be a bit of a double edged sword, it seems that journalists are now trying (along with David Cameron and Gordon Brown) their very best to dig up some dirt on Clegg to show he isn't as squeaky clean as he would have everyone believe. See the below link for one example:

So just when I was considering that I might actually vote for the Liberal Democrats, being the only party that are being "honest" with any hope of winning the election, I've now gone back to not having a bloody clue who to vote for.

This is the attitude a lot of people have when I ask them who they are voting for on May 6th, they just don't know, or say they're going to vote for the Green Party in protest. If I remember rightly, an opinion poll that was taken in the first week of the election campaign showed that roughly 38% of people said they 'don't know' when asked which party had performed the best so far. I think this could reflect either a lack of interest from parts of society or more likely a dismissal of the election altogether due to the controversy and scandal surrounding politics in recent times.

When new MP's enter Parliament, someone should teach them all the lesson about the boy who cried wolf; there's only so many times you can lie to people, by the time you start being honest, most of us have stopped listening. But for those who are watching the debates, tonight's should prove a lot more interesting than the last, if of course you believe what they say they're going to do actually will happen. Who'd be a politician.
