Good news for the Lib Dem's with a PoliticsHome poll showing that Charles Kennedy and Sir Menzies Campbell are the two political heavyweights most missed by the public.
This does lead to the question of why don't more of the public vote for us when our politcal figures have a great deal of respect. But then it also leads back to the route cause of the problem - the unequal voting system. This is encouraging news for us, and shows that if only we had a more equal electoral system, we would do a lot better.
Anyway, short but sweet blog post. But this is a boost of confidence like our poll risings of late. So something to smile about.

One advantage that the Tories have is that even if their voters can't stand the sight of Cameron or the thought of waking up with him as PM, there are a lot of reassuring faces on the front-bench.
So the real question is why we haven't been fighting more as a team, as a Clegg/Cable partnership, or even as a Lib Dem dream team with Kennedy and Campbell on the bench and drag Ashdown back into the Lords.
But i worry that we'll always have to deal with the fact that "we're Lib Dems" and people want more than a local MP, they want to have a say in who is actually in power.
Thanks for the comment. Who would you say are the reassuring faces on the Tory front bench?
Agreed. I think the Lib Dems need to work more together and stuff. Hopefully, a fairer voter system would allow us to tackle the power problem.
