Resignation
Posted: Sun 8 January, 2006 Filed under: News, Thoughts 1 Comment »Personally, I think it’s a great shame that Charles Kennedy has resigned as leader of the LibDems. Over the years I’ve found myself respecting him more and more – well, as far as politicians go, anyway – for the way he’s handled himself, and made himself into a known and recognised face for “The Party That’ll Never Win”.
I can’t see that a new leader will be good for the Lib Dems, looking at the number of weasels that’ve jumped on the bandwagon already. Chief weasel, however, has to be Sir Menzies “U-Turn” Campbell, who stirred most of the trouble in the first place, then said he wouldn’t stand in competition to Kennedy in a leadership fight, and as soon as Kennedy resigned, jumped in and said “Oh, I might stand after all”. That, to me, is already the definition of a true scumbag – and I can easily imagine he’d ruin the work that’s been done by the Lib Dems already…
Charles was good, I didn’t agree with a lot of his policies but I admired his integrity and political posture, shame he was a member of the Jock ginger squad tho. In some ways it will be a blessing that he has gone now, the Tories are taking votes off Labour, disaffected labour voters voted lib dem last time but will return to their traditional voting patterns when Labour is threatened with political collapse therefore the next election could see a haemorrage of Lib Dem votes, Ming the merciless could be in for a rough ride if he gets in, mind he’s even less trustworthy than Mr Blair or Gordon (It’s rude to talk with a cock in ur mouth) Brown.
