BBC NEWS | Politics | Lib Dems await Kennedy challenger

Charels Kennedy admits he had a drink problem. Which to be honest does not automatically mean that he is a bad leader for the Lib-Dems or would make a bad Primeminister. After all the best primeminister of last century, Churchhill, who drank like a fish, smoke like a chimney, and was on a 24/7 benzidrine buzz. But it does explain some of why the Lib-Dems where unable to make better use of the best political chance they have had in a very long time. And not making use of the gift that he had been given could be a reason for getting rid of him. Great Britian, Not Little England has a better analysis of it.
