Thank you
March 1st, 2006 by Web TeamMarch 1, 2006: As the poll closed for the Liberal Democrat leadership election, Ming Campbell issued the following message:
I want to thank everyone who has voted in the leadership election and the very many people who attended hustings up and down Britain over these past two months. I want to thank my superb team for their tireless efforts to support my campaign.
This is the third time that Liberal Democrat members have voted to elect a party leader.
I would be proud to follow Paddy Ashdown and Charles Kennedy and I would relish the chance to champion the great cause of liberalism in debate against Gordon Brown and David Cameron.
That decision is one for Liberal Democrat members. Whatever the outcome tomorrow I look forward to campaigning alongside Simon Hughes and Chris Huhne in the weeks, months and years ahead to put the Liberal Democrat case to the country.
