Well, there have been mutterings about Sir Menzies Campbell and his leadership of the Liberal Democrats for some time. It appears the dissenters key worry is the party's slide in the polls.
The thinking seems to go that if they had a different leader he could get more media coverage and hence get them up in the polls. As an example of such speculation see this on Lib Dem Voice.
I have just listened to quite a lot of open speculation on BBC Radio 4's World at One. Interesting.
I think that what the Liberal Democrats need to do is to wake up and smell the coffee. Firstly the government (currently Labour) makes most of the political weather, followed by the Conservatives as the largest opposition party in the commons, (and largest party in the land) then the others. At a time like this the Liberal Democrats are always going to struggle to be heard.
Change your leader if you feel like it, it wont make any difference.
Besides which us Conservatives like Ming Campbell.
The BBC has this.
The BBC also has this.

I think this will run for a while, I hope it does anyway. Their crediblility will get hammered over this, they will look feeble.
James, looks like Ming nipped it in the bud! Hmm.. spoiled all the fun.
