"The next general election and beyond"

Ming Campbell on the Today programme has defended his leadership of the Lib Dems confirming the fact the Lib Dems are in trouble.

Even though Campbell had the chance to spell out what he has done since becoming leader, the best he has managed is “restoring stability”. Hardly the best claim since it was him that brought the instability in the first place. This is a clear example that he hasn’t achieved much since taking over and infact the Lib Dems are going backwards.

He then went onto say “I will lead the party through this parliament, through the next general election and beyond”. Always a dangerous comment to make in my opinion. I still think he’ll make it through the year though.
