Eh?

Pity - I was rooting for Ms Moran, since Davey was a member of the ConDem cabinet.

From the standpoint of history, I think you can cut the Lib Dem part of the coalition some slack, now that we have ten years of experience of what it is like without their moderating influence.

Not going into coalition with the Tories could have been far more moderating and discarded or defeated Lib Dem policies would have had more of a chance.

The next five Tory years are brought to us courtesy of The former MP for Auchanotherbollock Ms Jo Swinson.

I wasn't familiar with Ed Davey but, from reading about him, he seems like an interesting man.

Nope. They would have stood no chance.

Nope. We are where we are mainly because Corbyn was so utterly useless.

At one time the Lib Dems were on good form, but under Ed Milliband they disappeared down the drain!

It wasn’t Miliband’s fault it was Corbyn’s, that and Cancer in Cigarettes, The Black Death, extinction of the dinosaurs and Britain’s 23 year failure in Eurovision.

I think the most pertinent comment I've seen was on one of the Facebook parody accounts:

"So, what do you make of Ed Davey becoming leader of the Liberal Democrats?"
"Who?"
"Ed Davey..."
"No, I got that bit, leader of who?"
