Lib Dem leadership: Kennedy's view

Updated on 25 November 2007

By Gary Gibbon

Exclusive: Charles Kennedy gives us his take on the race to be the next victim of those ruthless Liberal Democrats...

The ballot papers have been sent out - 65,000 Liberal Democrat members are now deciding who they'll back in the party's third leadership election in two years.

The contest - between Chris Huhne and Nick Clegg - looks to be on a knife edge. And certainly the knives seem to have played quite a part in recent Liberal Democrat history.

Channel 4 News asked Charles Kennedy - the party's last but one leader - to cast his eye over the election. He won't say who he's voting for - but he's given our political editor Gary Gibbon this view of the contest.
