RIP Charles Kennedy 1959 – 2015

June 2nd, 2015 Posted in Liberal Democrats by

Absolutely shocking news this morning. Charles Kennedy was taken far too young. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. My heart especially goes out to his young son.

Charles Kennedy was the Leader who spearheaded the LibDems’ opposition to the Iraq War. One of the main reasons I joined the LibDems in the first place was because of this principled stance and on this issue, Charles Kennedy’s instincts were proven absolutely correct.

Rest in peace.

    Well said Sara. AS Nick said “he was one of the most gifted politicians of his generation”. Truly a politician much-loved by people of all political colours. And a truly decent an honourable man.

    Like you I joined the Liberal Democrats because of it’s brave and noble stand against the Iraq War. And Charles Kennedy’s lead on this issue was nothing less than heroic. It is a very sad day indeed.
