Farron saying being LibDem leader was impossible considering his christian faith.

it's going to be strong and stable with Vince Cable innit?

I think the LibDem are uncertain how to move forward, it seems the metro seats aren't going to return to their pre-2015 quantities, but also rural seats in Wales\Devon\Cornwall aren't looking the better prospect atm

Damn, Cable is 74. Isn't that a bit too old to become leader, especially if there isn't a GE until 2020-2022?
Corbyn is also a geezer, anyway there is no risk of Cable forming a government...

Vince Cable...why not just bring back Paddy Ashdown?

LibDem under Cable will have an appeal to Liberal Tories I guess

Isn't Cable part of the social democratic wing of the LDs?


Can't say he showed much of that during the coalition years

De jure i don't think there's any requirements of status. The monarch can appoint whoever he wants as PM, member of the commons a peer or none of the above (Home was PM for three weeks being a member of neither of the houses). It's merely a convention that it will be a member of the commons
