I think they did change some voters minds actually.
Nick Clegg came out the best of them all in the debates and won over a good number of people who weren't even sure if they would even vote.
Yes I trusted Nick Clegg, for my sins, never, ever again.
For Gordon Brown, he came over as already defeated in one of them,when he said, ...''if things stay as they are now, this man,David Cameron, will be prime Minister supported by this man,Nick Clegg''....
However for David Cameron,having already blown a well over 10 point lead over Labour, he came across rather poor too.
I really believe the leaders debates were in part instrumental in him not getting an overall majority,since he sounded really inexperienced alongside Nick Clegg,Cameron came across as shifty as to immigration and the NHS particularly .
It will now be really ironic, if having taken part in the debates in 2010, he lost the trust of the voters to give him an overall majority, and now here in 2015, by 'not' taking part in them all, he puts himself firmly into a losing position again as to that.
I think, even moreso with all the new leaders of parties included in 2 debates,that indeed perhaps a great many more voters will make their minds up after watching them this time.
