During a visit to Brussels to meet with the Liberal Democrat MEP team, Ming Campbell MP signed the OneSeat petition to have the European Parliament meet in only one location, rather than shuttling back and forth between Brussels and Strasbourg. The petition was started by Cecilia Malmström, an MEP from the Swedish Liberal Party, a sister party to the UK Liberal Democrats in the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe. Over 1,036,653 other European citizens have signed the petition.
