Shirley Williams: Ming is widely admired for his judgement, his wisdom and his thoughtful championing of fundamental freedoms.
I am supporting Ming Campbell to become leader of our Party.
Liberal Democrats can celebrate the commitment, talent and hard work of our MPs and peers. These qualities will take us much further given time and experience. Ming Campbell is the leader we need to guide us through the challenging years ahead. Years in which security and liberty need to be carefully balanced, years in which we need to mobilise people of all races and religions to reject violence while seeking greater social justice here and in the world beyond.
Ming is widely admired for his judgement, his wisdom and his thoughtful championing of fundamental freedoms. He refuses to play the game of spin. He deserves our support.
I hope you will give him your 1st preference vote.

I really do hope that Ming is elected as leader for a wide range of reasons. Firstly I believe he is the only potential leader that has the true combination of experience and the wisdom that only age can bring. This country neds the leadership of an Elder Statesman rather than a media suited frontman. How can an electorate choose if we end up with cloned Blairs.
Of course, the party must groom younger candidates for high office, but I am a firm believer in the Mentor approach and I would hope that Ming chooses a deputy wiser if elected.
