Woohoo! Finally, Sir Ming resigns! I've never forgiven him for knifing Charles Kennedy in the back and it was a serious consideration for me whether I could vote for the party with him in charge (despite the fact that I remained a member). Interestingly, the BBC are reporting Charles Kennedy is at 16/1 odds of being leader again, which would be awesome, but anyone will be an improvement on Ming. And of course, as a member, I'll get a vote, I think.
Also tribalism, non? ;-)
Politics in general is very tribal though, and the parties do do that sort of thing a lot - unable to welcome good ideas just because they come from the other side and that sort of thing.
(...yes, 'Flash Gordon' was on TV again last week.)
