Do turkeys vote for Christmas?

They do if they are Liberal Democrat turkeys. The Herald reports:
The Liberal Democrats are set to appoint Nicol Stephen as Scottish leader for another four years, despite the party's lacklustre performance at the Holyrood election.
Mr Stephen has secured the support of all 15 of his parliamentary colleagues at Holyrood, which makes it technically impossible under the party rule book for there to be any challenge against him.

Ah, but didn't Charles Kennedy sail into re-election as UK LibDem Leader after the 2005 Westminster Election?

That didn't stop the multiple stab wounds to his back...
