It's Ming the Merciless



Congratulations to Sir Menzies Campbell on a clear victory in the leadership election.

The figures were as follows:

FIRST ROUND
Sir Menzies Campbell - 23,264
Chris Huhne - 16,691
Simon Hughes - 12,081

SECOND ROUND
Sir Menzies Campbell - 29,697
Chris Huhne - 21,628

We must all wish Ming well. The odd thing is that, despite his venerability, we have no clear idea of where he stands on many domestic issues. No doubt we shall soon find out.

From outside the party it still feels more like Ming the Mediocrity I'm afraid but yes, let's be optimistic and I have to admit Charlie turned out much better than I could ever have imagined.
So.....
If Ming is Campbell-Bannerman, who's Asquith? and who,Lord help us,is Lloyd-George?
