With all the polls show gains for the Liberals this weekend in the UK elections has suddenly become interesting, giving the electorate for the first time in three decades, a real horse race. A cause? TV leaders debate that allowed viewers to choose their favorite leader. Following on the success of the X-factor format, the British public like to use a similar style to vote for entertainers, ice skating and ballroom dancers, as a musical artist, now works as a nice and fun way to select the next prime minister.
The question is to what extent it Cowellesque style of presentation to do justice to party politics, and how to look and charm of the individuals themselves? unprecedented increase in the share of votes the Liberals experienced after the debate was solely up to the charismatic Nick Clegg, who is a natural in front of the camera. Psychologists have been employed in various news channels for feedback, the body language of participants, noting that three, Clegg far the most accomplished TV stars. As a result, reams of voters now seem happy to introduce a period of major disarmament and weak immigration policy. Can they really have changed their minds as quickly as the main issues?
Unlike Clegg, Cameron appeared rude and insistent Brown. two lags in popularity because they forgot to engage with their viewers, resorted to aggressive gesturing, and stood on the wrong side of Clegg, who was lucky enough to be on the left the audience gives him, and psychologists say, a natural dominance over the other two. Everyone accepts Brown would win no beauty contests, and even dashing Cameron takes second place to Clegg's chiselled good looks, all factors that contributed to the final selection of the viewer. But let us remember that not looking for the next lead in Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, but the future prime minister in the country.
strict confrontation without debate format, heavy time constraints demanded by the president and vaudeville style line up of those supposedly leading the people of the state did nothing to lessen the feeling that it was more like a Broadway Chorus Line auditions but serious assessment of party policy. Imagine a different line up: imagine Churchill or Gladstone, or Palmerston, to participate in similar exercises, answering questions about foreign policy or the Irish question. Give the audience buzzers and winner of a new car and have a great idea for a game show, but it is not a suitable format for resolving the national future.
