The liberal boom shakes the British election campaign

The British election campaign has entered a moment of bewilderment. Labour and especially conservatives, do not know how to deal with the unexpected emergence of liberal Democrats. And these polls are capitalizing on the momentum that has given them the victory of their leader, Nick Clegg, in last Thursday's election debate.

"My bet is that eventually most people will not continue its current flirtation with Nick," he predicted in an email to the members of the Labour campaign coordinator, Peter Mandelson. " I know what it means to have a short political honeymoon," he quipped Gordon Brown, who upon arriving in Downing Street in 2007 lived "one of those phases" to plummet in a matter of weeks. "What Clegg is, is a bubble and you have to bust it before [the elections] on May 6," said Lord Tebbit, a longtime Tory.



But the bubble, or the honeymoon, continues to consolidate, according to two polls published yesterday. The YouGov for The Sun puts liberal Democrats in the lead (33%), followed by the Conservatives (32%), Labour Party (26%). The ICM for The Guardian keeps head to the Tories (33%), ahead of Liberals (30%) and labor (28%). In both cases, Labour and Liberal together reach a large majority.



Conservatives torn between Nick Clegg frontal attack or show a positive image of their own supply. In any case, the liberal mess prevent them from concentrating on discrediting Gordon Brown: David Cameron has been forced to replace an ad that was to show last night, attacking Labour for a statement defending his conservative supply.



This apparent schizophrenia is happening every day in the campaign. Cameron has in recent days tried to reposition the Tory campaign around his message of "great society" against the "big government", but could not fail to warn against the legalization of immigrants proposed by the Liberals and the danger that a third British party boom means "five more years of Gordon Brown." Other leaders have also emphasized the dangers of pro-European positions of Nick Clegg.



In a press conference to attack Tory economic policy, Brown had to make ends meet away from the liberal-democratic without frontally attacking because an agreement with them is the only way to remain prime minister, but criticized some of its economic and disarmament proposals, noting that there are "common ground" on political reform.



And Nick Clegg is still enjoying the honeymoon but containing the euphoria. "I can not predict what will happen. I know very well that the polls, go up, down, and are very volatile. All I know is that for the two old pillars, old routines and old patterns are breaking the election," said after presenting his plan to stimulate the green economy.
