Write an email to Ming Campbell and let him know what you think.<BR/>I do not believe that Ming should be hounded out of office. He was elected by the membership of the party, and he does not have a health problem that could effect his judgement. <BR/>However I would suggest to Ming and his allies that they should start making the arguement as to why they think Ming can turn things round and why the interests of the party are best served by his continuing leadership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-78383806003754392652007-10-12T19:23:00.000+01:002007-10-12T19:23:00.000+01:00Couple of things I disagree with you on Mark (Simo...Couple of things I disagree with you on Mark (Simon would only have a conflict of interest if he had the faintest possibility of being elected leader and the idea of allowing the chair of the English party to decide the leader's future left me choking on the floor).<BR/><BR/>But the essential point is fair enough.

Activists are perfectly capable of expressing their views to the parliamentary party (even the leader) directly. And I know they have.<BR/><BR/>So that leaves the Parliamentary Party to deal with the issue - either by going to Ming with a whole hearted statement of support or with the suggestion that he no longer has their confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
