Paddy saw active service as a Royal Marine Commando and in the elite Special Boat Service . He ended his military career in Belfast, during the early years of The Troubles.
Paddy stood as the Liberal candidate for Yeovil and raised their vote there to its highest ever level. After only six years in the Commons, he was elected leader of the Liberal Democrats, a post he held for eleven years.
After he retired from the Commons, his detailed understanding of the problems in The Balkans led to him being appointed UN High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Paddy now sits in the Lords as a Liberal Democrat peer. A regular broadcaster, including Question Time and Any Questions, he has published several books, including two volumes of Diaries, to critical acclaim.
