More back stabbing for CK

I am increasingly feeling sorry for old Charlie K. He is being hounded out of office despite the Lib Dems doing fairly well at the last election.

All the back stabbers seem to be blaming him for the failure of their party to win more seats, the problem is not him (well not just him), the problem is their party. There is a very real and wide split within the Lib Dems, the old Liberals and the old SDPs.

They are a gulf apart and their party conference in the Autumn of last year showed the split for all to see. It wasn't much of a problem when they were small enough to hind behind purely local messages but now that they hope to be a truly national party they need to put some unified policies across. The trouble is that they can't.

Being a party of protest only policies condemns them to perpetual third party status. Pity really because there are lots of Liberals who I get on very well with.
