Don't talk to me about politics for a day or two, ok?

Idiots. The fact that not a single one of the MPs calling for Charles Kennedy's head was willing to stand against him says it all. They wanted him gone - a number of them said they wouldn't continue to serve with Kennedy as leader - but somehow when he actually called a leadership contest none of them wanted to know. Not until he'd also been pushed into saying that he wouldn't take part in it himself.

Not impressed. I suspect whoever gets elected isn't going to last long. And then we're back to the two-party Punch and Judy show for another five years or more.

PS - The slightly positive thing about all this is that the unhappiness among party members about what has happened may work to the disadvantage of the 'Orange book' good, with whom the decapitation is likely to be associated - and may therefore benefit the likes of Simon Hughes...
