The Scoop Team
Tonight TVNZ held the first leaders debate of the 2011 Election.
The pundits are busy coming to their conclusions but Phil Goff (judging by his reaction below - youtube video from interest.co.nz - seems likely to be declared the winner on points. Certainly it appears he considers it a win, and of course he is coming from behind.
