Debates and More Debates

From September 2nd through the 21th,  Portuguese voters are watching TV debates between the leaders from the five parties represented in the parliament.

The debates began with José Sócrates from PS, the actual Prime-Minister, and Paulo Portas, from CDS.  Sadly, the debates weren’t particularly useful in helping voters to make a choice. They were very short on new ideas for the future.

But the last debate will be between the actual Prime-Minister and the challenger Manuela Ferreira Leite, from PSD. Unlike the others, this will be a consequential debate as one of them will be the next Prime-Minister.  It could go either way as the current polls still point to a “technical draw”.

Will things change after next 12^th September?
