Today the third and final televised leaders' debate was held in Birmingham.

The first poll out, from YouGov, showed a clear win for David Cameron: 41% Cameron, 32% Clegg, 25% Brown

The debate was aired by the BBC, with the first half focusing on economic issues.

After all the damage done to our politics, Cameron called for the leaders' debates to happen as they offer a new way for politicians to connect with the public.

The first debate was in Manchester and focused on domestic issues, the second debate was in Bristol and focused on foreign policy issues.

Conservatives in every region of the country watched the debates together at Watch Parties.

Many people are commenting on the debate, particularly on sites like Twitter. You can add you thoughts by using hashtag #LeadersDebate, and you can a livefeed below of key Conservative tweets.
