How pleased I was to see Charles Kennedy resign as leader of the Liberal Democrats.

As an anti-war campaigner, I have always supported the stance the Lib Dems have taken against the Iraq war.

I have always said I would vote for them if they didn't have such a boring leader.

The reason the Lib Dems have done so well in recent elections is because of their anti-war stance, not because of their leader.

Kennedy was as interesting and as inspirational as piece of toast. He has a Mr Man haircut, a monotone voice and the most exciting thing about him was the fact he enjoyed a drink and a fag.

Nevertheless, I hope Charles is not replaced by Sir Menzies Campbell, otherwise that will be the end of the Liberal Democrats
