VOA News Item 2政治：英国政党领袖进行电视辩论第二轮角逐
Britain’s political life has been dominated for the past three decades by two parties—the Conservatives, now led by David Cameron, and Labor headed by current Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
But a third party, the Liberal Democrats, are turning this election into a three-horse race.
Their campaign was given a major boost by Britain’s first ever televised debate last week;
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg emerged as the clear winner.
Viewer polls taken after this second debate, which focused on foreign policy, showed there
was no runaway victor.
