    If we’re to get an actual ballot paper AND an online one, what’s to stop people voting twice? (I’m sure this has been thought of, I’m just curious what the answer is).

    I think postal ballot papers only go to people for whom the party does not have email addresses or who have asked not to be contacted by email.

    That’s right @margaret. The default is online.

    Ed Davey was on BBC News this afternoon. It seems to me that as a former cabinet minister he is the front runner. He would make a good leader, but all candidates should be agreed on whether they want to abandon equidistance and should tell us now.
    Let’s get on with it.
