Chuka's bowing out

For those watching the UK election fall out Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg have stepped down as leaders of their respective parties.

Chuka Umunna was tipped for the leadership of the Labour Party and had thrown his hat into the ring.

Yet today news was out that he had already pulled out blaming aggressive press attacks on his family and girlfriend.

It is hard in these situations to be sure what is going on, but it may not be the best news for an opposition Labour Party that was increasingly aware he was feared by the Conservatives.

Some could argue that was why the press were going for his neck.

No news seems to be coming from the Liberal Democrat camp, I imagine their party will be reeling more than most having been clearly rejected at the polls.

The UK political landscape certainly presents an original picture at present.
