Charles Kennedy (recently-resigned Leader of the Liberal Party)

I wish Charles Kennedy (recently-resigned Leader of the Liberal Party) had put up more of a fight. Although I havn’t (yet) voted Liberal, I felt he was a good bloke. He made me laugh when he appeared on TV shows. He didn’t take himself too seriously. He didn’t lecture people and go on and on at them about what they should be thinking / doing / not doing / not thinking. When he didn’t agree with something (like the Iraq war) he just voted against it without any of the lying and backstairs manoeuvring most of the other politicians got up to.

The fact that he is fighting a drink problem makes him more human. More interesting as a person. Perhaps David Cameron (new leader of the Conservative Party) will offer him a job?
