Kennedy's a nice guy but he has to go.
Not because of his boozing, but because he's an ineffective leader. The Libdems should have done a lot better with everyone hating the Torys. He should have done far better at the last election. He should have gone then, but better now than never.
Both the Torys and the Libdems have been so ineffective an opposition that N Labour have got away with a pensions meltdown, trebling the money going into the NHS and we now have people pulled off the op lists, schools that are no better now than 1997 etc etc ad nauseam.
