There are no short cuts to success
In a speech Ming Campbell will make at Liberal Democrat leadership hustings in Coventry tomorrow, Ming Campbell will outline how intends to bring success to the party through a combination of strong leadership and teamwork.
He will focus on his own track record in politics, his personal priorities for policy, and his determination for the party to nurture talent. He will also warn the party that there are no short cuts to success.
In a statement issued today he said
In every generation the shining talents choose one party to make their home. We are fortunate that this generation has chosen the Liberal Democrats.
Under my leadership talent will be nurtured from all sections of the party in Parliaments, in councils and in the nations and in the regions of Britain.
I will use my experience, my authority, my energy to work with them, and campaign alongside them, as part of a formidable team.
I know this party, I have lived and breathed this party all my life, and I want to lead this party. I am passionate about this, passionate about my politics, I want to lead this party, not for my own sake but for what liberal democracy can achieve. We have exciting new opportunities as a party.
