The Lord Rennard scandal

There are three aspects of the Lord Rennard scandal that need to be considered:

First whether now Lord Rennard has admitted in writing some degree of wrongdoing whether this provides prima facie grounds for his accusers to pursue legal action (which if successful would achieve their objective of removing him from the Liberal Democrat party).

Second whether his reanimation provides Nick Clegg with an opportunity to act tough within his own party, deflecting accusations of weakness and irrelevance.

Third, whether Lord Rennard is the only hope for the Liberal Democrat, and only his superior campaigning skills can save them from oblivion.
