Almost entirely agree, but for one exception - Charles Kennedy. People from all parties were unanimous in their liking for him & the respect they had for him. He took the LibDems to their pinnacle, in terms of seats in Westminster, then he was outed as an alcoholic. He could have fought it, pointing at his record & his previous ability to cope, but, to protect his party, he graciously stepped down to the snake-in-the-grass liberal cnuts. You know, the type of tree hugger that would insist that addiction was an illness to get treated etc. Barstewards.
One other thing - I listened to him a number of times on tv & radio, both on political & magazine programmes. He was the same guy, lots of great humour & anecdotes, self-deprecating, and continued to be the same even when ousted. A true gentleman of politics. Even if I wanted to vote LD, I most certainly would not after the way they treated him. RIP, Charlie!
I actually do agree as well, he was another one of the good guys.
