| I liked him. He seemed like a good bloke and he did a great job as party leader - how many MPs did the Lib Dems get in 2005? I'm sure it was north of 60.
And the drink cost him absolutely everything. So sad. |

| Very sad news.....losing his Ross,Skye and Lochaber seat that he had represented for 32 years seems to have been the final straw.....career blighted by alchohol.....but still well respected as a politician....a post-mortem will confirm the cause of death.....but also a victim of scottish nationalism that want's to break up the UK....looks like it became a step too far for him to cope with. |

| Ain't that the truth.
The SNP got 50% of the vote and 95% of the MPs. Democracy at its finest. |

| Only Lib Dem who i could have voted for due to genuine nature and strength in convictions. Shame the drink killed his career and potentially his life (cause of death not known atm) |

Spoke out against the Iraq war, and seemed to be one of the few Westminster politicians who was genuine and likeable, and a 'real human being'. Sad news, and 55 is far too young. I agree. |
