The first performance of Liberal Dim party leader Clegg at Prime Minister's Querstion Time (PMQs) today was "amateur" according to one viewer who e-mailed Adam Boulton's political programme on Sky Television news at 8.45 pm this evening.

Two journalists appearing on Mr. Boulton's programme discussed Clegg's performance at PMQ's today and those of Brown and Cameron. Both put Brown in first place. He was described by pro-Labour Mirror columnist Kevin MacGuire as being "assertive." The other journalist, a lady, put Clegg in third place in the ranking of today's performance. "I marked him a bit higher than I would have done because I was being generous - he is new" she said of the obsessive europhile Clegg.

Another viewer e-mailed: "Cameron was typically chameleon Cameron today - all scatter-gun in his approach (at today's PMQs)". "Bottler Brown is supposed to answer the questions at Prime Minister's Question Time - not ask them" complained another Sky Television viewer.
