So that's that, then.

After the best part of three years in power, which saw his initial honeymoon period dissolve into a rather incoherent mess, culminating in leading his team to the brink of a disastrous wipeout, he's finally got the push. The final straw was the emergence of two new leaders whose eccentric negotiation style and none-too-subtle undermining made his job untenable: but, although many of those who worked under him loved him dearly and remain fiercely loyal, it has to be admitted that he really had lost the confidence of the wider public. I think the most common verdict will be something like: shame it didn't work out, but you really weren't up to the job when it came to the crunch. Goodbye, dear leader.

And in other, unrelated news, Gordon Brown is resigning as Labour leader.
