Like the Tories, did with arch-moron IDS. <BR/><BR/>You only had to listen his frequent tedious ramblings on Question Time... His one-trick - the War. Yawn yawn.<BR/><BR/>The guy is a genetic bore.

He's now got the full (and probably declining) expectations of the LibDems on his shoulders, and all of the organisational workload that comes with it.<BR/><BR/>The LibDems have made an awful mistake in electing a Leader who the country would struggle to recognise as a genuine contender in today's more 'presidential'leadership contests. All of the parties have at various times made the same mistake..Michael Foot, IDS etc and it never ends well.<BR/><BR/>I pity the guy. I'm sure he's totally committed to his party, but unfortunately, these days, that won't be enough. I'd be suprised if he last 12 months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1148164797549905252006-05-20T23:39:00.000+01:002006-05-20T23:39:00.000+01:00Can he even make it till the end of the year? if I...Can he even make it till the end of the year? if I was a betting man I would have money on Nick Cleggg being leader by Christmas. As for his chances of making it to the next election, they diminsh by the day. I am sure Liberals must be now realising that they elected a complete dud as leader. The local elections were a bit of a disaster and things can only get worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
