The Delusions of Susan Kramer

Today's London section of the Politics Show had an interview with Susan Kramer in which she rather incredibly says she regrets not running for LibDem leader (with the implication that Cleggy isn't up to it?). Even more incredibly she thinks she could have done it as a job share with another female. I guess that's possible, especially if you want to make your party look even more ridiculous.

SUSAN KRAMER: I actually feel quite guilty because, you know, we had a leadership election in my political party, and what I should have done, and dammit, I didn't, was get together with another woman and the two of us put together a joint thing.

TIM DONOVAN: So you thought about it? That would have been sensational!

SUSAN KRAMER: I thought about it too late. You look at the job and think 'Who on Earth wants to give their life to this particular role and give up family?' Well, we should have done it, as a joint thing, that's the answer, and set an example.

Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing? If I were Mrs Kramer I'd be more concerned about keeping my seat.

UPDATE: A reader has left this in the comments: What would Susan Kramer have said if one of her male colleagues had said:

"I actually feel quite guilty because, you know, we had a leadership election in my political party, and what I should have done, and dammit, I didn't, was get together with another man and the two of us put together a joint thing."
