So, Sir Ming Campbell has finally bitten the bullet and decided to step down as UK Leader of the Liberal Democrats, but the whole episode has reinforced in Mr Smith's mind just how ruthless the members of the third party of UK politics can actually be.
Never mind rats in a sack, the typical Liberal Democrat MP would happily sell their granny if it won them the most obscure local government by-election.
Sir Ming is better off out of their sphere of influence and hopes he enjoys his retirement from Leadership. But one thing Mr Smith only realised recently is how increasingly alike Sir Ming is becoming to the 1960s comedy character Steptoe. Separated at birth anyone?
