Via a 'palace coup' Robert King was today ousted as the Leader of the Opposition with Ben Smith, who lost the leadership election last year, installed in Mr King's place.But where will this end? Mr King is still the leader of the One Bermuda Alliance and has so far refused to resign his post, which carries significant power.It will come down to a caucus meeting to see if MPs, Senators, candidates, approved candidates and the party's executive agree with the coup. If not, the OBA will be in murky waters.Even if the vote goes in favour of removing Mr King, how will the membership - who voted to elect him - receive this? Will they leave? Will they try a revolt?

It is an unholy mess and one that will have the Progressive Labour Party popping the bubbly corks.
