........Sir Menzies, who got 57% of the vote, said he was ready to take risks to "modernise" the party and lead it "back to government".

....He wanted the Liberal Democrats to be the "party which pledges to take power from Westminster and Whitehall and give it back to the men and women in our own communities," he told activists.

"back to government" This lot have never been in government.

"give it back to the men and women in our own communities," in Germany, France et al.

Blair is slime, but extremely able. Campbell comes over very well in my opinion.

The odd one out is the pitiful preening mediocrity Cameron.

Some will but most of my fellow Englishmen are more mature than that and think our fellow BRITONS ie Scotsmen and Welshmen could make excellent PMs for the United Kingdom of GREAT BRITAIN and Northern Ireland.

Does any sensible person really give a damm what part of the United Kingdom a PM comes from provided he/she is competant and does their best for Britain? The more important question is that a British PM nowdays has little power thanks to the fact our country is in the EU and this is what should concern all of us.

Yes, I would agree with that. Mr Campbell would make an able Foreign Secretary. Certainly, he is more suited to that role than Jack Straw.
