Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron resigned today following the resignation of home affairs spokesman Brian Paddick because of his controversial Christian views.
Mr Farron was dogged throughout the election campaign over refusing to clarify whether he believed gay sex was a sin and because he has previously stated abortion is wrong.
Mr Farron claimed it would be "impossible" to "remain faithful to Christ" while leading the Lib Dems - apparently because of their support for equal rights, rather than the party's record of putting the boot into the poor and vulnerable over five years in coalition with the Conservatives - during which time thousands of people died after being declared "fit for work" by callous government tests.
