Well I'm surprised! Sky seemed to blink in the run-up to the announcement, changing their forecast from him resigning to a short-term step down before the local elections, before correcting themselves upon the actual announcement.
For once, it looks like News 24 took a risk and stayed with him resigning the whole way through, and it paid off!

Sky News are reporting that CK will step down in the short term and will still contest the Leadership election. An interim leader will be appointed to lead the party through the May election cycle.

Sorry, as I scrolled down this thread, the argument is too heated. The more I read the more my fingers itched, until I gave in, and just clicked 'reply'! Sorry if I'm repeating what someone else has said.
The oil was just the icing on the cake. Bush's administration get loads for destroying, and rebuilding a country. Remember when Saddam was reported by the U.N., to be destroying his weapons.
Blair, and Bush sneered it off as a lie. Yeah
. There's still no getting away from it, Saddam was a monster. Bush's heart wasn't in the right place though.
Going to Kennedy. Do you know why he really is getting voted off?
He doesn't use spin.
He is actually honest. Other Polititians can't handle honest polititians! They see it as a weakness. Others have spin-doctors, making them look strong, and that. Kennedy doesn't, which makes him look less reliable. This, in my view, is an illusion, and really makes him reliable. I think he'd make the best ever primeminister we've ever had for a long time! Perhaps the dictatorship over the pond will follow suit next time, and free themselves - and the world!
THESE ARE MY OPINIONS, AND CAN'T ENDORSE THEM AS FACT - DUE TO LACK OF EVIDENCE, SO PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.

That is to say, he is apparently honest, except for the times he denied he had a drink problem when we know he lied.
So, like all politicians, he is honest except when he is lying.
Why were Sky still running the "breaking news" strap and newswall graphic four hours after he resigned?

No politician is ever honest. Read one of the Lib Dem's manifestos, andtell me you believe that everything contained in it would happen if they (somehow) ever came into office.
It is a crime to claim that Charles Kennedy was an honest leader - let's remember he had continuously denied having a drink problem to the press, and it was only when ITV News confronted him saying they were to run a story with proof of his alcoholism that he hurriedly called a conference before the primetime bulletin went out, to make him seem like a bit of an honest man!

Remember that a drink problem is a medical issue. One of the symptoms is to want to keep it private. You cannot pick and choose which symptoms you develop. You could say that if he openly admitted, much earlier, that he had a drink problem, he'd be lieing, because part of the biggies of a drink problem, is coming to terms with the fact that you have one, and if he'd openly admitted it, he would not have had a full drink problem. However, as I'm sure you're aware, it is far more complicated than this, and definately not so black and white. I suppose you could have a drink problem, and be more of a person who quickly comes to terms with it. Now he's come to terms with it, and is getting better, you can't scruitinise him for exhibiting symptoms of the problem that he is beginning to beat. Good luck to him!

On ITV's head! they shouldn't have got rid of the channel! There WAS a greater reason as to why they got rid of the channel. It gave Kennedy a chance to explain his drink problem first. I think he would be an emense primeminister! He is far more honest. Granted, he didn't admit his drink's problem, but who would. Patient confidentiality. Blair lies about weapons of mass destruction etc.. I know who I trust more!
