Subject: Former Liberal Democrat MP Cyril Smith dies
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/03/10 at 12:35 pm
The veteran Liberal Democrat politician Sir Cyril Smith has died at the age of 82, the party has confirmed.
Sir Cyril represented the constituency of Rochdale as an MP, both for the Liberal Party and the Liberal Democrats, for 20 years.
He was one of the party's most recognisable and high-profile figures, retiring from Parliament in 1992.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said Sir Cyril was a "larger-than-life" character who would be missed.
Sir Cyril was chief whip during Jeremy Thorpe's turbulent leadership of the party in the 1970s.

A whip is an official in a political party whose primary purpose is to ensure party discipline in a legislature.

Ah, I see. He keeps the rank and file in line, and cracks the whip if they stray from the party theology.

The Whip? I told his secretary I'm into all that and I'm game, but he hasn't called back!
