			<description>&#60;p&#62;Recognising the waning interest of politics within the 18-26 year age group the three party leaders have opted to go for a voting system more in keeping with a Saturday night in. Each party leader will face Mr Cowell and a live audience once the pubs have closed &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Simon Cowell described the initial run throughs as &#34;lack lustre&#34;. Gordon Brown sang &#34;All you need is love&#34; with the Cabinet on backing vocals, only to stop half way through as they were singing a different tune. David Cameron ambitiously conducted The Messiah by Handel and Nick Clegg attempted a self-penned rendition of the theme tune to Last of the Summer Wine &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;All voting media is allowed, text, telephone, social media and even old fashioned voters cards. The Electoral Register has allowed not just an X to be used, although adding a kiss to a card would count double. Grafitti tags can also be used as well as thumb print and even temporary tattoo. Facebook and MySpace entries have been created to allow the under-13s a voice&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Latest MORI poll shows that Diversity have a surprise lead
