Ming

So the markets were wrong then. That's what happens when everyone is fishing from the same pool. As for the Lib Dems, what sort of question has Ming Campell as the answer? He's like the Malcolm Rifkind of the Liberal Democrat Party: plausible, polished, patrician and ponderous. He's been elected as a 'safe pair of hands', and compared to Hughes or Huhne that's exactly what he is. But just picture how Nick Clegg must be feeling - a man who was virtually unknown even in the Parliamentary party ran Campbell surprisingly close, how much better could Clegg have done?
