Anyone else going off Clegg?

I thought he was very cocky last night, interrupting the others several times to slag off their debating style rather than their policies. It was probably justified in one instance, but certainly not the 4 or so times that he did it - in fact it was annoying that he interrupted what was good quality debate at times.

I'm starting to worry about exactly how much he would listen to the public if he were elected. I didn't like his comment that he was a negotiator "on behalf of all of us" in his early career. How much do we know about this guy? Who would be his key advisors if he were to govern, and how much would he actually listen to them? I love the idea of electoral reform and a fresh new government, but is this really the time to be electing someone with less experience, who is pro-Europe, sketchy on defence, and populist on the economy?

He's like that teacher you get in September who says "Call me Chris" and everybody likes him but by November you've learnt bugger all and you've heard all the jokes and the class is chaos and you just want "Sir" back.

imo

I thought he completely won the first one but got narrow beaten by Cameron in the second, and soundly beaten yesterday.

The "Blair hands" thing and "oh, let me rise above this bickering" faux piety went way OTT yesterday.

I was never on him.

Didn't fool me with his "looking straight into the camera, I'm a nice guy, me" schtick the first time round.

Even less convinced the second time.

Positively anti-Clegg now.

But not keen on the others either.

I'm clueless. It's like trying to decide between being shot, stabbed or strangled.
