Sir Ming!
And so it is, the most youthful party in politics appoint a leader aged 64. King Ming has done it. I would like to be the first member of this blog to send my congratulations both to Ming and his loyal band of followers. A genius decision and long may he remain.
Only two days ago I sat in the kitchen preparing a bacon butty whilst listening to radio 5 live. And who was to come onto the radio...a youthful, intelligent, energetic and quite beautifully spoken man in the form of Simon Hughes. I once argued that he would take the Party so far to the left that it would be political suicide electing him. But listening as I did I found myself transfixed by what he had to say, as he spoke with confidence on a range of issues most notably of his beloved football club Millwall FC. It was at that point that I thought, Conservatives would be in trouble if Hughes won. Not only would he had clearly defined the Liberal Democrats policy manifesto but he would also have appealed to many voters with his laid back and approachable vibes.
Alas all my worries have gone. King Ming will lead the Liberal Democrats with honour and respectability, he will be whiter than white and carry a reserved and dignified manner. Unfortunately for him he is leading a party that is heading very quickly down hill. An older leader who preaches more center ground policies, I don't think Lib dems have thought this one through.

I think its true Ming will inevitably be a caretaker leader, but i'm more of the opinion the Lib Dems future depends on ideas and policies rather than their leader.
Still, lets wait and see
