That's as maybe. It's not just up to him you know. The Liberal Democrats
are a democratic party so it's up to the members (in London).

Yes, Colin, I do know.

I never once said he *was* the LibDem candidate did I.

Was it the London party membership who postponed the selection when he was
about the only applicant approved to run for the nomination?

I know Lembit is not every Lib Dem's favourite but if it's a choice between

arm chair members go?

Maybe that's not the choice now. But I'm not going to give you the
