New Lib-Dem leader is?
Discussion
Just a thought on who will succeed Nick as the Lib-Dem leader/Dep' Prime Minister. Perhaps either Danny Alexander who would appear to be quietly doing a great job or Vince Cable? Perhaps Vince has blown his trumpet rather too loudly. Now, I know that the overwhelming Conservative viewpoint in here will be 'we don't give a stuff', but should things go wrong for Nick then this subject could be a key choice for Lib-Dem supporters and Conservatives alike.
Danny Alexander would seem a shoe in.
Someone younger/more pathetic/inexperienced/studenty than Milipede seems the general way things go. Cameron himself is getting a bit long in the tooth too, up for replacement soon no doubt.
Or possibly Sarah Teather.
She also reminds me of a slug, which probably flies well in Libdem circles.

Going to have to deal with a party earning less votes than UKIP
(Not a libdem voter by the way, just a studier of UK political history)

There is one key difference. For once Europe will not be hidden. The EU and the Euro will be on the front page of the news and finance sections for the next few years. The Lib Dems were wrong and Farage is right on Europe. As Euro nations collapse or further forced union takes place, and the UK doesn’t recover from recession, the movement will only be away from the Lib Dems.(Not a libdem voter by the way, just a studier of UK political history)
It’s a shame as they are finally going through grown up party training

They may well have more MPs than any other party (bar the big 2), UKIP won't win any seats in the next election with FPTP.
You are quite correct, I should have also said share of the vote above. Though it will be interesting to watch what the Lib Dems say when let off the leash nearer the election. 0a said:

Quite, Europe is out of the closet, the only clearly identifiable Lib Dem policy is slavish devotion to the EU, at the moment that's a bit like dropping "oh by the way, couple of pints and I come over a bit rapey" into the conversation.
Yes, I wonder if Adrian Sanders has been sent to coventry by his fellow libdems for daring to vote for the referendum?The Lib-Dems are truly swivel eyed eu-philes - read below for the full horror!

So ironic that an il-liberal, anti-democratic party has the name lib-dems. The power of words and idiot minds..

Exactly - and since AV/PR was kicked into touch for the next 20 years in the referendum earlier this year, UKIP and the rest of the hobbyists won't be getting a sniff of power for the foreseeable future.The LibDems don't have any obvious 'Big Beast' as a stalking-horse for Clegg. Huhne is damaged goods, and I suspect Cable realises he doesn't have the energy required to keep the party together any more, if indeed he had it in the first place.
