So much for being the ‘LIBERAL’ democrats.

How LIBERAL is it of a party to backstab their leader and demand his resignation because he is an alcoholic getting treatment?

I didn’t change my mind because he admitted to having a drink problem. I changed my mind because of a) the crass way he announced a leadership contest with him as a candidate without allowing his colleagues time to digest his admission and b) the subsequent 25 name petition, which included literally 90% of the party’s brightest and best.

Despite being a staunch defender of the party’s internal democracy, I do believe the parliamentary party should be respected – especially now that it is the largest it has been in decades and now reflects a genuine diversity of opinion. Kennedy’s attempts to go over their heads – especially given his prior ambivalence for giving members a say in the running of the party – was a desperate act of self preservation which had only his interests at heart.
