I'd rather have a self-admitted alcoholic in power than a fake commie, suck-up-to-an-ex-cocaine-sniffing-religious-capitalist-cnut, any day of the year.
Obviously I wouldn't vote for the Liberals anyways, but that's besides the point.

Originally posted by lukemcmullanYeah. Right. Put me on the spot.
Who would you vote for (if any)?
I don't know. I reckon I'd vote to keep the tories out, if not them then to keep labour out and if not them, to keep the liberals out.
I think if I lived in Scotland I'd vote SNP (Scottish National Party...a left wing semi-socialist party).
However, I do agree with the liberals that Britain needs a form of proportional representation.
And if they got that I'd vote like I do here in Holland, as left wing as possible (hell...even the Marxists are too right wing for me).
In the end though, I don't believe in parlimentary democracy. Parliment is too easily bought by small groups of very wealthy people.

I think he ought to resign - this is a situation where he must put the future of the party above his desire for leadership. The British public would not elect a party led by a known alcoholic.
I admire him a little for admitting it, it must have taken courage, though it makes sense as the media were practically about to announce it anyway. Just beating them to it, really.

Originally posted by shavixmirIs Charles Kennedy and Ted Kennedy related, I mean, they have the same addictive genes.

He's still running his gin-bloodshot jowls.....
