Sir Menzies Campbell has resigned as leader of the Lib Dems. We have to hope that the Lib Dems will choose someone on the right of the Party, one of the "Orange bookers" to succeed him and draw back much of the lost Lib Dem vote which has aided Cameron's poll boost. Labour needs the Lib Dems to be contesting and holding seats where they and the Tories are the main challengers.
David Laws, Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne must be the main challengers.

At a fringe meeting of the Lib Dem conference, Lib Dem Home Affairs spokesman, Nick Clegg stated "if you are asking me would I stand against Ming, the answer is no".

Ming has said, “Let's have an honest debate on the European Union followed by a real choice for the British people. That means a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU.”

Reflecting back on a remarkable 2006, I can't help myself in writing about what a fantastic year the Limp Dems have had!
