It's that time again - when nominations are sought for the post of Lib Dem party president - the most important elected post in the 'voluntary' party.
The elections for the job have, sadly, usually ended up being won by a 'professional' Parliamentarian - sometimes as a stepping stone to the leadership.
The current incumbent - Tim Farron - is widely respected and the expectation is he will be returned unopposed. But he shouldn't and Gareth Epps makes the strong case for both an election and the return of a non-Parliamentarian to the job.
