Jeremy Paxman Interviews Nick Clegg

From the BBC Parliament channel.

All of a sudden, the Lib Dems are looking quite plausible, aren't they? Clegg is starting to look rather appealing, Prime Ministerial even, especially when you stand him next to the other two. Something in the air? With some current polls putting Conservatives on 31%, Labour on 27% and Lib Dems on 29%, this looks like it will be a far more exciting election than I was expecting.

Filmed a few days before the first Prime Ministerial debate, Paxman's comments about the impossibility of Clegg being Prime Minister now seem pretty off the mark. If, like me, you're feeling a bizarre pull towards voting Lib Dem, watch Clegg confidently dance the dance with Paxman and learn a bit about their policy, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Both Cameron and Brown have confirmed that they will also sit for a half hour interview with Paxman in the coming weeks. However, I will be neither strong stomached enough to watch them or sadistic enough to post them. Apologies for quality - the first section is much worse than the rest.  Watch it on iPlayer instead before Monday 19th April 2010 for a slightly longer and much prettier version.
