Archibald Sinclair, one of our coolest and most elegant survivors !

An original and fine choice ! Very surprising !

[hawkeye59]

Forgive me since I know barely anything about British politics, but why are Sinclair and Jenkins better than George?

[Edu]

Well, i wanted Kennedy to win, so this was more about "the lesser evil" for me

When i have to look up people i don't know much about, unless i want to spend a lot of time on research i usually go to Wikipedia and it said this: "He was the last Liberal to be Prime Minister, as his coalition premiership was supported more by Conservatives than by his own Liberals, and the subsequent split was a key factor in the decline of the Liberal Party as a serious political force. When he eventually became leader of the Liberal Party a decade later he was unable to lead it back to power".

I'm taking it with a grain of salt since Wikipedia has been obviously wrong before, but in this same thread Al seemed to confirm that he wasn't a very good leader.
Doesn't sound that good. And i liked the other 2 candidates for survivor better.
