Funny how different people see things, anyway, for me, David Cameron will have probably done nothing to draw back voters who have gone to UKIP, he just didn't as the PM of the UK take Nigel Farage on at all,and frankly David Cameron was sunk when Ed Miliband highlighted how isolated Cameron has become in Europe,David Cameron too, was lost when Farage hammered home the fact that Merkel in Germany caled the shots in the EU really.
he had no answers at all to any of that.
He may in fact have sent even more 'soft' Conservative support at present to UKIP.

Ed Miliband didn't do too that good but he did enough and the loud message from the debate was that Cameron's way forward was not acceptable to all the others in the main.
What also happened was that Nicola Sturgeon purged pretty well the ogre image being painted by Cameron and the Conservatives as to the SNP.
Which may well have made a Labour led govt; with SNP support less negative now for voters.
This was his only chance really to take on the other leaders of parties in the UK. and Cameron said very little at all and challenged even less from and as to them.

Miliband will be in the next debate, neither Cameron or Clegg will.
As was said on the news today,it appeared like Cameron just wanted to get it over with as quickly and quietly as possible and there were even times Clegg didn't appear to want to be there either.

Cameron rarely connected,seemingly shy of the cameras and was very downbeat and glum throughout.
For a sitting PM with a supposed good record to defend, there was little evidence for me that was the case at all or that this was even a worthy PM too.

All he could do was harp on about creating 2,000,000 jobs while at the same time, dismissing the near unanimous view of the others that the jobs were not secure or even regular full time jobs.
he again left himself and ooked totally isolated on that too.

No killer blows were struck by any of them really, that would have been hard to do anyway with 7 of them there and the limited time.
However the polls seem to be saying overall, no change has ocurred from the debate,things are still close except that the SNP,thanks to Nicola Sturgeon's performance and explanation of their policies,has come across as far more credible now.
