On reflection Guido thinks its tactical genius to canvass liberals for support and destabilise Charlie at the same time. With Charlie gone by spring say, the LibDems will be plunged into civil war with the choice of Menzies Campbell, their answer to Malcolm Rifkind, Mark Oaten their answer to Basher Davis or Simon Hughes, the darling of the LibDem’s backroom boys. Any of the above will probably be less attractive to the voters than the ginger drinker. Cheers Cameron!
