What's better than an alarm clock?

The woman co-presenting Today saying, just before seven, that Simon Hughes' (finally) coming out about having had both female and male partners means that he's "gay".

... and the LibDems continue to implode :-(

indeed - it's all profoundly depressing. I'm going to hear Ming Campbell speak in Bristol tomorrow night; wonder what he'll have to say about it all.

Well, you could always leave the sinking ship and join the tories now that they've become the new SDP. I was under the impression that the LibDems was made up of defected tories anyway.

ah, but if I did that I'd never get another girlfriend! (when I jokingly said I should defect to the far right one ex told me she'd leave me if I did ...)

I don't see the LibDems as sinking, just a bit of damage to the current superstructure, and so far as the leadership election is concerned it is a case of deciding whether to vote for someone to hold it together for a couple of years of for someone to be in place for the next decade. Difficult though as I'm not enamored of any of the three candidates remaining.

Yes, the tories are trying to wrap themselves in the banner of the old SDP, aren't they. Not sure it is working though ...

Historty indicates that there are quite a few queers in far right organisations, so it's not all doom and gloom : )

Yeah, does seem like the ides of march has come early for the party, more like the idea of January.Does seem that he party isn't responding particualrly well to even a non-crisis, which doesn't bode too well for the rocky world of government.

I'm not a big fan of parliamentary democracy in the form or shape that we have here anyway, but I guess, as a strategy, it would make more sense to have a short term leader, wait for the next election, wehen there's more chance of a hung parliament or a close run race between labour/tories and then choose a dynamic leader with some fresh ideas and outflank the middle ground.

Yes, you're right, daveid cameron does look a bit like David Owen : )

What's paddy Pantsdown doing now ? Is he back from his imperial majesty post in Bosnia yet ?
