So, what did you think of the conference then?

1. What drugs are you on Gordon threw whatever remaining

credibility away. Mandleson sounded like Michael Portillo pre converted - "who dares wins". The "next Leader", Millibrat was given a graveyard slot and fluffed that. None of this a surprise.

My disappointment is with the Lib Dems who ensured that a time Neo Con Labour was about to be destroyed, they ruined any serious chance of making an impact.

(See the earlier post about conferences and democracy).

2. Didn't see any of it, I'm afraid.

Too busy.

3. It will go down in history...

...as the conference that Rupert Murdoch shat on. I don't think it will have done very much to persuade people to vote Labour.

I'm actually more disappointed with the Lib Dem's conference. Nick Clegg seems intent on undoing all the best Lib Dem policies. I don't rate him as a party leader and quite frankly I can think of others who would make better MP's for Sheffield Hallam as well.

4. I would argue that a Charles Kennedy leadership would be giving Labour more trouble now

The Lib Dems never recovered from getting rid of him. Kennedy was a social-liberal populist who could genuinely connect with voters, but he was succeeded by two leaders lacking charisma.

5. Knifing Charles Kennedy was a big mistake for the Lib Dem's.

They've just gone backwards since then. If I were a Lib Dem I would rue the day they decided to parachute Clegg into a safe seat.

6. He was slightly undermined...

... by being in the throes of alcoholism. I like a small glass of Babycham as much as the next man, but I´d find it difficult to vote for a man who turns up for a TV show so drunk that he couldn´t speak.
