Following the resignation of Tim Farron.

Other than Farron, they only have three MPs who were actually re-elected last week; all others gained seats.  They are
Norman Lamb (North Norfolk)
Alistair Carmichael (Orkney & Shetland)
Tom Brake (Carshalton & Wallington)

MPs who had been MPs before and regained seats are
Vince Cable (Twickenham)
Ed Davey (Kingston & Surbiton)
Jo Swinson (East Dunbartonshire)
Stephen Lloyd (Eastbourne)

Their other four MPs are new and are presumably not likely candidates.

Out of these, Lloyd is the only one who voted against raising tuition fees, so it's clear who my favourite is.

He's one of Britain's Finest mps, man of principle and honour,

He didn't serve in the coalition government and remained Highly critical, sadly was treated unfairly by his constituents.

Yes, indeed. If only he had never started misusing alcohol ...


Lloyd is my preferred candidate, followed by Brake and Davey.

That makes two of us. Hey, let's move to Britain, join the Lib Dems, and back Lloyd in the leadership race. Wink


Honestly, I would prefer the LibDems to just die now. Let's move back to a two-party system and offer Britain a clear choice for their future.

I hope not. The world is not black and white.
