Reviewing the online conversations that took place during that debate, Nick Clegg looks to have won that round! From 7k + plus before the debate there are now 16,997 posts, with LibDems taking 51.6% of those, Labour 29.8% and Conservatives 18.6%

Conservative Sentiment
And without Neutral Sentiment:
And where those positive, neutral and negative sentiment conversations happened:
Liberal Democrat Sentiment
And without Neutral Sentiment:
And where those positive, neutral and negative sentiment conversations happened:
