Ming Campbell "over promoted"

Linda Jack, a Lib Dem party policy committee member has got it spot on when she says Ming Campbell has been “over promoted”. Ming was a good Foreign Affairs spokesman, probably one of the best in the Commons, but that hasn’t transferred when he became leader.

What’s interesting is Vince Cable’s response.

“Vincent Cable rejected the criticism and said the party was not in a "dissimilar" position to the position it had been in recent years.”

Well then clearly the party hasn’t moved forward in that time and Charles Kennedy the leader during that period is no longer the leader. It doesn’t really say much for Ming and his future.
