After looking at some of the people who might run for Liberal leader (part 1<\/a>, part 2<\/a>), I figured it’s worth puting the question to a completely unscientific vote.<\/p>\n

I’ve listed three questions below. The first asks who you think will run for Liberal leader – by all means, click on as many names as you think there will be candidates, and suggest others in the comments section.<\/p>\n

The second asks for candidates you’d consider supporting if they ran<\/em>. I know there are half a dozen names on that list that appeal to me, so click on any you could see yourself voting for (and if you’re not a Liberal, put on your Liberal hat for a minute to answer the question).<\/p>\n

The final question asks for what qualities the next Liberal leader should have. Again, if you’re not a Liberal, pretend for a minute you are (then shower afterwards), and pick the three or four qualities you think the party needs most <\/em>from its next leader.<\/p>\n
