Kennedy

Just on the arithmetic with 24 MPs out of the Lib Dem 62 putting opposition to Kennedy on the record means he’s probably politically toast. But I do think that the way senior Lib Dem MPs are behaving is cowardly in the extreme.

Kennedy’s decided to issue a Major-style put up or shut up challenge to his MPs. They haven’t put up, or shut up, they are putting pressure on Kennedy to resign because they don’t want to face him in an election.

Can’t just one of them show an ounce of guts and say that he or she will make a better leader than Kennedy and stand against him in a vote of the membership?

UPDATE: BBC now reporting 33 MPs against Kennedy, that's got to be the point that he has to go.
