Former special services, politician and leader of the Liberal Party.

One of the more decent politicians.

Lots in Parliament now who would do their Country the biggest service by doing the same. :D

Great loss to the country and a true statesman. I didn’t agree with his politics but respected him greatly.

In many ways it’s a shame he got into politics when he did. If he’d stayed diplomacy he could have ended up running the UN.
