Lib Dem leadership fight was beginning of the end

NOW we have the Lib Dem leadership result I am utterly convinced the party is defunct, with namby-pamby leadership and a depleted membership (“Sir Ed Davey wins after making major Brexit warning”, August 27).

After seeing the two candidates talking about their policies on TV last week I know it is a party that has no idea of what democracy is and has no long-term future.
