Brown encountered three successive defeats.

On the 29th, the leaders of the three major British political parties took the last televised debate before the election. According to Hong Kong Duke Network’s reports, polls showed that Conservative leader David Cameron held the highest scores. At end of the debate, several television stations found that during the population upon immediate survey, at least one-third of voters still could not decide which political party they were in favor of. The TV debate could raise voters’ learning on the leader and the party policy, but no one party has made convinced the majority of the voters through the TV debate.

Two opinion polls after the debate show that Cameron occupies a leading position by 41% and 36% of voters’ support. The following are the Liberal Democratic Party leader Craig and Brown siege. However, analysts pointed out that Brown's performance in the debate was actually better than the previous two, during the debate, he said strongly words, handed list of economic achievements, and could live to remind voters real policy, warning other parties that shutting down cuts would benefit to hamper recovery of the UK economy .

However, due to the case of "wireless microphone storm" on the 28th, when Brown was canvassing in central England, he said a female voter in private as "bigotry stubborn" which was recorded by the media nationwide broadcast to the whole nation. Brown quickly apologized to that woman to save reputation, but his fame had been damaged. It can be expected that poll about Brown would be still weak after this debate.

In the economic debate, Cameron wanted to convince voters that the Conservative Party greatly reduced cost without affecting economic recovery. Taking advantage of the Brown’s case, he adopted policy-oriented strategy to attack the Liberal Democratic Party during the debate. By taking the economic crisis of Greece as example, Cameron criticized Craig for claiming to join the euro into Britain. And he also expressed against the British Liberal Democratic Party proposing amnesty of illegal immigrants more than a decade. All theses made the voters having the Conservative Party strengthening restrictions on immigration policies in comparison. He got points with all these strategies.
