I think Kennedy is probably the w...oh definately... I think Kennedy is probably the weakest leaderin terms of character... he just seems too cuddly. But he also seems to me to hold the most personal integrity, and I think this is far more important than ferocity. And, ultimately, it IS about the policies not the premiers.<BR/><BR/>I think Blair and Howard have more experience dealing with heavy-handed interviewers like Paxman, and have a more developed bank of rhetoric (most of which won't get past him, but still). Blair's been in charge for years now and it's fair to say he's had his share of public grillings. And Howard was home-secretary (i think) during the last tory reign of power, so he again would be quite used to public office and public interviews like that.<BR/><BR/>I am confident that Kennedy and the Lib Dems won't loose much support over it though... It was inevitable that Paxman would do his utmost to make them look silly.
