Kennedy up for election

By | Mon 18th February 2008 - 5:25 pm

Spare a thought for Charles Kennedy MP who is standing for election later this month.

The former Lib Dem leader is one of four candidates standing for the rectorship of Glasgow university. Voting, for those eligible, will be online on the 26th/27th February.

He’s not actually standing as a Lib Dem, but as an independent aiming to represent the views of all students. He has a long history of association with the university, as a student and former President of the Union.

Other candidates are listed here.

    Having been the idiot who persuaded David Steel to run for Rector of Dundee in the late 60s before I found out that Peter Ustinov had agreed to stand, I fear Laurence is right on this occasion.

    I would struggle not to vote for Hardeep, he is a hero, but if Lib Dem Voice apply a three line whip, I will vote for the party man.
