Re: June 8th General Election
Clegg was still well liked by his party when he stepped down. The alternatives were poor. Farron has been poor and I am surprised how unready they were to deal with the questions about his faith. They were there during the leadership campaign so how surprised can they be that it's come up in the General Election? You can bet The Guardian have more stuff ready to roll out as well.
In some ways Farron's positions are still liberal, he has differentiated between his personal religion views and his politics. So he is against abortion from a moral view but thinks it should be legal. But how he was allowed himself to get into this situation is absurd. May is also religious but doesn't seem to have this problem.
