Lib Dem Crisis: What about the Deputy Leader?

[Jeneral2885]

Malcolm Bruce? What's his take and role in the whole leadership crisis?

1. Wait till that empty taxi pulls up, then you can ask him as he gets out.

2. Don't know that much about Malcolm Bruce; but I'm surprised there wasn't a big leadership crisis

before now.

The LibDems as a group are not known for long-term loyalty to their leaders; and apart from more principled reasons for objecting to Clegg's poodling to the Tories, it was bringing them down drastically in the polls.

ETA: one of the few things that I do know about Bruce is that he had announced his retirement from parliament for 2015, so I doubt that he's playing a huge role in anything any more, insofar as he ever did.

3. Some questions..

I've had a look at Malcolm Bruce's Wikipedia page earlier. Has he only been deputy leader since January? And isn't he due to stand down at the next election?
