Britain's Liberal Future is Secure: It's Nick Clegg by a whisker
By the narrowest of margins Nick secured victory today and will go on to lead our party for, I hope, a long time to come.
His acceptance speech spoke of the thread of liberalism running through the very fabric of British society and that to pull it out would be to pull that entire fabic apart. Nick is the future of liberalism in this country, and I believe that his is a voice that will appeal to parts of society that we have never reached before.
Our's is not a party divided but a party that recognised two hugley credible candidates of largely equal merit, and broke evenly between the two. Having watched the result in party HQ amongst Cleggites and Huhnistas there was a genuine feeling of bonamie and positivity between everyione present. Its time we put this contest behind us and got stuck into the opposition.
