Lib-Dem deputy leader announced

Simon Hughes is the new Deputy Leader for the Liberal-Democrats.
Nothing wrong in that!
Except 2 things.
1. Why have they chosen another Gay person in a senior role
2. Simon Hughes has never done anything of any use for the Lib-Dems. He stays on the media bandwagon every so often, but has never fronted a major cause or law.
The Lib-Dems are looking a bit fluffy as a group and should perhaps change their yellow colour to Pink!!
