[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 6650173, member: 8735"] See below. Well, I'm not a fan of the LDs anyway, but... I think the more competent and credible political party leaders we have, the better it is for our democracy. Vince Cable is a bright guy, but he took on the leadership at least a decade after his use-by-date, ditto Campbell, I wouldn't have voted for either of them in any circ's, but they could have been decent leaders for the LDs if they had got there earlier. I think the party struck [U]very[/U] lucky with Ashdown and Clegg, both had some gravitas, intellectual integrity and affability; Kennedy was good at first, but later became a joke. Which brings us on to Farron, irrelevant, and so back to the lovely Ms Swinson... It is very hard for anyone to picture her in the highest office, and her recent claims that she could be the next PM were patently absurd - and I've a couple of liberal friends who were here last night who said so too. [USER=121116]@Mek[/USER] makes an interesting point, when she is with the public she gives the impression of a student trying to look like she's paying attention to a tutor. But she will probably - unless [U]she[/U] resigns - be there for some time; she was in great part put forward for the job by the party because of her sex, and the last thing it will want is the headline 'LDs bin first female leader...' She may mature into the role to a degree, she may develop some gravitas, but I don't think so, she is nigh on forty and it seems likely her character and traits are set. So the question is, how long will she be there and who is next? :unsure: Edit: Just had a thought about that last bit, and have managed to stop laughing so will make the suggestion: the ever self-publicising Layla Moran... (she always looks as though she is saying 'schnitzel') [/QUOTE]
