Britain's party leaders clashed in a TV debate, but there was no killer blow -- although Clegg emerged as a clear winner. LONDON (AFP) - – The leader of Britain's third biggest political party triumphed in a historic first pre-election TV debate, polls said Friday trouncing his high-profile rivals in the election race. Nick Clegg, leader of the centrist Liberal Democrats, saw off both Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron in the US-style televised clash Thursday. A series of polls taken just after the debate put him firmly in the lead, and he won front-page plaudits from newspapers Friday with the Telegraph declaring: "Clegg's star rises in great TV showdown." His performance was being closely watched as polls have suggested a hung parliament -- where no one group has an overall majority -- with the Conservatives as the largest party. While the Lib Dems have never held power and are unlikely to win outright at the May 6 general election, in the event of a hung parliament the party could play a role in forming a government. The leaders faced off for the eagerly anticipated clash in Manchester, northwest England, for the debate on domestic policy that saw the politicians clash on the economy and Afghanistan. Dressed in suits and standing behind podiums, the leaders appeared nervous as the first such debate in British election history got under way -- but it quickly descended into political scrapping. There were fierce clashes between Brown and Cameron on the economy, a key issue in the election as Britain recovers from its worst recession since the 1930s. Brown repeatedly accused the Tories of planning to cut six billion pounds (nine billion dollars, seven billion euros) of public spending by slashing a planned rise in payroll taxes by his Labour party. "If you take that money out now I fear for what could happen, and I do not want to have a double dip recession in this country," he said, warning that Britain could slip back into negative growth after its fragile recovery. Cameron hit back, saying: "Cut the waste, stop the tax, that is the right answer." Nick Clegg distanced himself from the main parties and sought to offer an alternative to voters. "Don't let them tell you that the only choice is between two old parties who have been playing pass-the-parcel with your government for 65 years," he said. Labour and the Conservatives are the only two parties to have held power in Britain for decades. The Liberal Democrats have long trailed in third place in opinion polls. But on this night at least, Clegg appeared to have made the greatest impact: three polls taken straight after the debate all put him firmly ahead. A survey for The Sun newspaper, by pollster YouGov, put him on 51 percent, ahead of Cameron on 29 percent and Gordon Brown on 19 percent. A poll for broadcaster ITV, which hosted the debate, put the Lib Dem leader on 43 percent, ahead of Cameron's 26 percent and Brown's 20 percent. A text message poll for Sky News by Fizzback put Clegg on 37 percent; Brown on 32 percent; and Cameron on 31 percent. There were no major slip-ups in the tightly controlled showdown, the first of three before the election. It was governed by 76 rules hammered out in painstaking negotiations between broadcasters and the parties. Brown, who is said to have struggled in rehearsals for the debates, gave an assured performance and his fierce attacks on the rival leaders forced the moderator to weigh in to control the discussion on several occasions. Cameron, who had been expected to perform well, appeared the most confident and relaxed of the three. Clegg made clear attempts to connect directly with spectators, remembering in his closing speech the names of the audience members who had put questions throughout the night. Britain's newspaper editorials reflected on the impact his performance had made. "Mr Clegg made the most of his opportunity and will have won a whole new audience," said the right-wing Daily Telegraph. "We may have underestimated how these debates will inflate the Liberal Democrat vote." For the centre-left Guardian, Clegg had "made a powerful pitch that he represented change from the two old parties, with their combined record of failure." And The Times concluded: "He used the biggest opportunity ever given to the third party in British politics to give a virtuoso performance. It was his night."
