Charles Kennedy MP’s latest video diary is online now at http://www.catch21.co.uk. Catch21 is a production company which produces shows with the purpose of encouraging and invigorating an informed and politically active young electorate. It’s a charity run for and by young people and regularly features video diaries by MPs and Peers in its i-MP slot.

[Charles] covers issues like the May elections where the Liberal Democrats lost all but 2 of their seats in Scotland, he says “it was a universally bad picture” and he also shares his views on the health reforms and the Murdoch Mess.

Charles then answers a few questions from our Reddit viewers, answering questions like “Why are you/are you not pleased with result of the AV vote and the best reason for/against it?” and “To what extent do you agree with the direction your party has taken since you stopped being leader?”

    I really wish we could have Kennedy back as LibDem leader. I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. He’s the man that attracted me to the LDs (I liked Ming as well). A thoroughly decent man, yes with some personal problems, but I just can’t see Kennedy being happy to go along with some of the Coalition’s more right-wing policies (namely welfare “reform”, the NHS).
