“Beyond Rennardism”: Responses to Chris R’s Lib Dem News article

The latest issue of Lib Dem News featured an editorial column by the party’s Chief Executive, Chris Rennard, responding to comments he’d heard about the party needing to go “Beyond Rennard”. In doing so, Chris is himself kick-starting a debate about how our campaigning should evolve.

There have been a number of thoughtful responses on Lib Dem blogs where such a debate should lead us which are worth looking at:

The Canard of Rennard on James Graham’s Quaequam blog

Rennard’s Challenge on Andy Mayer’s blog

Beyond Rennard – Dangerous talk costs seats on Pete Dunphy’s Party Political PLC

We’re not going to throw the baby out with the bath water
on Paul Walter’s Liberal Burblings

Beyond Rennardism: we need to win the battle of ideas, not just the fight for votes on Iain Sharpe’s Eaten by Missionaries blog.

Let me know if there’s any I missed!
