I have admired Ming for a long time, but only got to know him well since I became his deputy in the House of Commons when I became an MP last year. I discovered that Ming is not only a highly accomplished politician, but also extremely friendly and supportive to all those who work for him. That is important to me. I want a leader who is tough, able to take on Cameron and Brown at the next election, but I also want a leader who is able to command loyalty and affection within the party at large. His ability to use his experience to build a strong political team around him will, I believe, be a huge asset to the party.<\/p>\n
