[Margaret Pilkington]

It really is absurd...we have a Prime Minister who is a stranger to truth.....and yet he is still in the driving seat.

I can understand why Charles Kennedy wanted to keep his alcohol dependence under wraps......and whether he was going to be exposed or not it was still brave to be up front about his problems.

A poll on ITV today showed that he still had the confidence of 91% of the people who phoned in.....and surely they are the people who voted for him.
