Right. So, heads up everyone. Who's the new leader going to be 
Nick Clegg is more than likely to win it; Huhne has simply been too naked in his ambitions to become leader (and the fact that he threw his hat in the ring almost instantly won't wash well with a lot of party members).
Yes, Clegg openly admitted that he'd like to be party leader during the party convention, but he did so with a certain degree of cheekiness and honesty that actually worked in his favour since it almost endeared him to a lot of party members. "Hey, I'm a politician, of course I'm ambitious!" - that kind of honesty does work rather well with the Lib Dem base. Plus a lot of party members have genuine affection for him - when he slags off the Tories and Labour he hits the party's funny bone. Which can't be said for Huhne, who comes across like more of a shady schemer.
Besides, after two leaders in as many years they'll want someone who will be in charge for a long time to come. Clegg has youth on his side there, the same way Cameron and Blair did when they were elected as leaders. No, I'm fairly confident Clegg will be the next leader.
Remember, I was right about Cameron. Something I won't stop banging on about, ever.
