It was round two of the series of three leader's debates and the pressure was once again on Cameron, Clegg and Brown as they clashed in front of an audience of millions.

But did anyone deliver a knockout blow? Was Cameron really the come-back kid or did Clegg edge ahead? And was Brown able to up his game?

Here's the views of three local politicians and our political editor Paul Francis gives his assessment.

Derek Wyatt, former Labour MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey:

"The debates are showing that the public is more comfortable with the idea of a presidential system than having a Prime Minister.

"It was a pretty close thing between Clegg and Cameron; I think Clegg was even better than last week.

"Gordon is just not comfortable in this environment but he is getting better and I expect him to win the last debate.

"Politics is part of the entertainment industry and like it or not, you have to be good at this sort of thing. Clegg is a good performer and he's cleverer than Cameron."

Damian Green, shadow immigration minister and Conservative candidate for Ashford:

"It was a lot crunchier than the first debate in terms of policy discussion. It was a better debate and much sharper.

"I thought David Cameron won. I listened to it on the radio and it certainly has a different feel.

"What was particularly good was that we saw them talk about policies.

"I don't agree with the premise that Cameron needed to deliver a knock-out blow; I think people are beginning to see through some of the Lib Dem policies."

Peter Carroll, Liberal Democrat candidate for Maidstone and The Weald:

"I think Clegg consolidated his position and has managed to firmly establish himself and the party as a viable alternative to the other two.

"I thought he fended off the attacks from Cameron and Brown pretty well.

"These debates mean we are in a different world now. Brown does know his subject well but he got no empathy with people and you have to be able to do that in a TV age."

Paul Francis, KM Group Political Editor:

"I saw this as a pretty even contest without a clear winner.

"Cameron and Brown definitely improved their performance although it was interesting to see how both adopted Clegg's technique of looking directly into the camera and addressing questioners by their first names.

"Cameron seemed more relaxed and had recovered his poise and was much more robust.

"But I don't think he laid a big blow on Clegg, who again was deft in presenting himself as the outsider and someone offering a change from "old style" politics."
