Lost all respect for KC after his actions and comments on Brexit.Voteds against it pure and simply because he doesn't want to exit the EU.Ignoring the referendum vote and therefore turning his back on democracy.
I have sympathy for KC because he's always held the view that the UK Parliament should be subservient to the EU and has never made any secret of that(I firmly believe he would have been PM if he had moderated his fanatical-EU views). He has a personal vote that turned his Rushcliffe constituency from Leave to Remain on his popularity alone.
All his political life he's been fighting for a European super state, in his last years that dream has been taking away from him. I don't mind a bit of petulance when you consider what he's lost.

I've always liked him as well JC and think he'd have made an excellent PM but I think he has badly let himself down over the EU of recent.
I agree, but he always has.
That's why I can have sympathy with someone like him who's had his lifetime work taken away, as opposed to someone like Clegg who is just thinking of his pension.
