The Europe roundup: Nick Clegg and the electoral insurgency (on the Internet?)

  • UK | Nick Clegg and the electoral insurgency (on the Internet?)
    Nick Clegg, the leader of the Liberal Democrat party was little known until a few days ago, when his victory in the first television debate with Cameron and Brown gave him an unprecedented popularity. "The general election has become a genuine three-way contest with the Lib Dems, on 29%, enjoying their strongest support in almost 30 years." says the Times. And the Internet starts playing a significant role: in the 24 hours after last week's debate, the Lib Dems received £120,000 in small donations, a significant amount of money for the British scene. So far the LibDem party is also the only one to have a Facebook page (though unofficial) with more 140.000 members and is picking new support from people under 35.
