Poor old Menzies Campbell-he’s had to leave because he’s too old. Apparently the Liberal Democrats were concerned that having a leader who was perceived as “past it” would harm their chances in the next general election (although they are denying this and saying the media made this up).
Erm..what fucking chance in the next general election?
It’s quite clear that the liberal Democrats do not, and never will have, any chance whatsoever of governing this country and I for one think that's part of their charm.
Whereas Labour and the Conservatives seemed paralysed by indecision, and are afraid to actually announce any new radical policies for fear that they would accused of either stealing the other party’s thunder, or of having the policy torn apart by their opposite number, as part of the rather alarming and viscous playground atmosphere of the House of Commons.
The Liberal Democrats however, safe in the knowledge that they will never be taken seriously as a political force are more than happy to announce new and bizarre polices in an almost "stream of conscious" manner:- “A Tame Monkey for every Schoolchild in Britain by 2012” Why not? “New Prisons to be built on Moon” Capital Idea! "Equal pay for Donkeys!" Right on brother!!!!
You have to admire a party which doesn’t allow reality to impinge on its actions, which is why I am so disappointed in their treatment of Mr Campbell-just as I was when they got rid of Charles Kennedy purely because he happened to enjoy a few refreshing drinks for breakfast.
I quite liked them when they thought that the country would accept a Ginger Drunkard for Prime Minister, and was a bit upset when someone had a reality check and got rid of old “Scotch and Ginger”, although apparently he is now being asked to join the leadership “race”. He’s playing it coy though-so far his only official response has been to say “ffffucckinnn come on then, you ffffuckin cunntsssss!!!” then be a bit sick on his shoes.
