Weekly Catchup, 3 Nov

This week, Daniel Jones made his LDV début urging Lib Dems to go to the Climate March.

We asked the Lib Dem presidential candidates how they would improve membership, and we posted three answers here: Opik, Scott and Fernando.

You, dear reader, commented in spades on posts like David Allen’s opinion piece Time for a New Start, (Darrell Goodliffe put a different view here – it’s early days yet for comments on that one). Our new poll on the BBC licence fee started a conversation. See also Stephen Tall highlighting a curiosity in Tebbit backs Lib Dem Euro policy and a Pakistani news agency’s reaction to the Global Peace and Unity Conference.

We covered the Brand and Ross scandal in the appropriate way – by echoing Don Foster’s dismissive remarks.

Recherché word corner (coming to you courtesy of Helen Duffett): erotics, as in the Erotics of Lib Dem economic debate and sockpuppeting as in Andrew Gilligan: sockpuppeting?

Something for the Weekend returned in a video exclusive live from from Howells Towers.

Finally, time is running out for your chance to predict the precise outcome of the US presidential election.

Every time I heard her speak I felt she was an authentic voice of Liberalism and I identified with her strongly. I find her resignation both sad and disturbing....

This is devastating. Christine Jardine is my kind of Lib Dem. There's a left-right element to that comment, but it's not just that. I worry about a liberal part...
