Ashcroft polls also show he'll lose his seat.

I really like Charles Kennedy. Definitely my favourite Lib Dem. If he could shake his personal problems, he'd make a great leader.

The weakness in Ashcroft is that it polls on the basis of party, without the local candidate's name. I still see him as favourite to get back in there.

I think he's the most likely Lib Dem candidate to win his seat in Scotland, after Alastair Carmichael.

Lots of people are undiagnosed with Aspergers because all it does in its mild form is make you a bit weird. I myself (mother and doctor have seen me) have been suspected of having a mild form of it but i never wanted to get tested because it never bothers me. I'm smart, i'm a bit weird but who gives a rats. I even got past any social issues when i discovered i could actually get women.

I think Osbourne is normal. Something's off about Boris but he may not have aspergers. May may be shy.

May may be shy.

read this

"Her working style and that of her team is very closed, very controlling, very untrusting,"

" Theresa is almost asexual. I think we're dealing with a mature, wise, experienced and competent politician but what she lacks, I think, is warmth and personality on first meeting."

Interesting read over a year on

Well done to the esteemed Birkenhead for being the only one to predict that May and Farron would be the next Tory and Lib Dem leaders respectively
