Jeremy Thorpe - had homosexual affairs whilst married.
David Steele - sold the Liberals out to David Owen.
Charles Kennedy - Lied about his alcoholism.

Who's bloody next up for the job as Lib/Dem leader? I see Limp Biskit... sorry... Lembit Opik is vociferously defending Kennedy. This is a shrewd manoeuvre if you intend to stand for the leadership at the next-but-one party election. Showing solidarity with Kennedy now will stand him in good stead in the future.

A lot has been made about Sir Winston Churchills drinking, there is no comparison! Churchill enjoyed his brandy and champagne and didn't give a damn what anyone thought about it! The problem here is that Kennedy AND his inner circle of MPs' LIED about it.

As a proponent of proportional representation, I doubt if I will see it established in my lifetime now thanks to this monumental fuck up!
