A bit off-topic, but I'd hope that many of you may be interested in supporting this case:

So Dave has his own personal photographer etc now and we're paying for it. This was a mistake.
Ed milliband was right to raise it in PMQ last week. Despite the savings the coalition think they are making on PR and communication costs against the last government I don't respect politicians who put themselves apart from voters. Nick Clegg could reinforce his connection with ordinary voters at this point or risk joining a political class elite.

Someone said to me, "isn't this the liberals?". If it's not, shouldn't it be?

They take root in the cobbles.
As rain falls they grow deep among each crack fracturing the pavement. Their feelers squirm through concrete, searching for room beneath the ground. They spread in silence under our feet. Their reach grows; advances without remorse. Formless, they seek control; their grasp a silence within which thumps your heart.
* * *
Remember the streetlamp shining orange on wet tarmac? Those footsteps following yours among the darkness? That coolness wrapped close like a strange palm’s touch on your skin?
That was them; their reach, their cold breath on your neck.
* * *
With every day that passes their strength increases; their ranks swell into armies beneath our soles. They grow. They shall shape our cities:
Trees, once swathed in the green health of summer, will sag, leafless. Churches will lean, their foundations broken, unable to retain their grip in the soil. Windows will shatter, gas pipes burn; each night, a firescape of ruptured dreams.
* * *
They took root in the cobbles.
We mistook them, ignored them, walked past; our eyes blind to the shadows they filled.

I think the Party Presidency is really a full-time job - Tim won't be able to do justice to it as well as to being an MP. We have no safe seats - we can't afford to ask him to do both jobs, nor would it be fair to his constituents. Jennie would be a full-time, grass-roots President, and would do a better job of representing the diversity of our party.

Very good farewell speech from Ros Scott as our outgoing President, but surely we can elect no better next President than Tim Farron who turned a never-win seat in South Lakeland into one of the safest of Lib Dem seats - deeds speak louder than words.

speaking of making the country better may I recommend Jennie Rigg for Liberal Democrat President as she is at the forefront of campaigning technology and I think she would shift the role towards winning elections across the country as a second preference Susan Kramer who has campaigned hard for many years for us and as an activist is a good choice, my third preference is Tim Farron who is a very able MP I respect.

Hi Mike,
Hope you're right about the former and agree wholeheartedly with the latter.

d'edward Miliband after a laboured election where the Labour people and elected officials top choice lost out to the Unions man...I think Labour are spent and I as yet see no evidence that the Labour problem has Ed as its solution...so I figure lets concentrate on making the country better...
