The televised debate of party leaders in the UK was not successful for Prime Minister David Cameron, the newspaper writes. Post-debate polls showed Labor leader Ed Miliband as the most persuasive, with 25% ahead of incumbent Cameron on 24%. UKIP's Nigel Farage came in third place with 19%. The Greens received 3% and the Liberals 9%. The Scottish National Party (SNP) received an astonishing 17%.
In the debate on immigration policy, Nigel Farage showed serious influence over his direct opponents: both Miliband and Cameron were forced to partially or completely agree with him.
If this trend continues, it may be difficult to form a government in London. Neither side will have a large enough majority to rule alone. Let us remind you that Nigel Farage advocates limiting migration and for the UK to leave the EU. If, as the polls show, Labor led by Miliband win, then they will have to negotiate with Farage, and this will not be easy. All opinion polls show strong polarization in British society, which suggests a future new compromise coalition in Parliament, significantly different from today's.
