Tim Farron resigns as Liberal Democrat leader

9. Best ask Lib Dem members!

She is very much the candidate they all wish were standing, and she doesn't appear at first glance to have as much coalition baggage as Cable, Davey or Lamb.

Personally I really hope that the Liberal Democrats don't soften their EU stance at all, or decide that they are "centrists, not Liberals" in true Orange book style. We really need a strong third party with a clear identity and purpose that stands up against a lot of the nonsense in British politics right now and going back the the Coalition years is not going to achieve that.
