Sir Ming Campbell elected

Sir Ming Campbell
After an election campaign which highlighted how united the Liberal Democrats are on the main policy themes - Ming Campbell has been elected leader. The contest was been three excellent candidates. Although I backed Chris Huhne to win, as Eastleigh Local Party chair I did meet Ming Campbell at last year's Eastleigh Liberal Democrat annual dinner and I found him to be a very good speaker able to clearly put Liberal Democrat views across and he will make a good leader.
Ming Campbell is one of the most respected figures in British politics.
- As athlete, he competed in the Olympics, captained the UK athletics team, and held the British 100 metres record.
- As Lawyer, he has been one of the leading figures at the Scottish Bar.
- As Shadow Foreign Secretary, he has been a formidable critic of the war in Iraq.
His authority and statesmanship are admired by every one of his parliamentary colleagues, and he is now in a very good position to lead a very talented parliamentary team.
