Rumours abound Westminster that Nick Clegg and David Laws are poised to run a 'Dream Ticket' campaign for the Lib Dem leadership following Sir Menzies Campbell's resignation - hoping to see Clegg instated as leader and Laws as Treasury Spokesperson, much akin to Blair and Brown/Cameron and Osbourne. It will certainly be interesting, as if both are elected, they would professionalise the party and take a lot of the Left/Liberal members out of the cushy comfort zone.
Appreciate that many users won't be cordial to the Liberal Democrats anyway, but what's your view?
And how will many 'grassroots' members cope with Clegg and Laws, both seen as on the right of the party and key players in the seminal Orange Book?
