It's a pity the US Presidential election is after the rectorial election. Sarah Palin might be looking for a foreign affairs post that would stand her in good stead for the Palin 2012 campaign...

I really don't understand this new obsession with Liberal Democrats as rectorial candidates, it's as perplexing as the slew of Greens from last time around. Surely if you're going to pick a politician it would be worth picking one who a) is still a politician, b) has more than a snowball's chance in hell of affecting Higher Education policy or c) has a proven track record of support for, or some kind of link to, our university? We could follow Glasgow and choose either a hasbeen from a party that did nothing for students when it had the chance, or some tragically unfunny comedian. Or we could cast the net a little wider and look for someone with a proven history of achievement and possibly some genuine acumen.

Well, Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, is no more implausible than Fiona Hyslop, if executive experience is what you're talking about.

And the Hyslop suggestion was made in jest.

It's not that perplexing. Lib Dems are soft and fuzzy politicians generally.
People even forgave Charles Kennedy his alcoholism because he looks like Fireman Sam.
It's not a serious party.
