Glyn & Irene Nightingale Back Nick Clegg

Tomorrow, we expect Nick Clegg MP to declare his intention to stand for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats. Local Ormesby & Nunthorpe Councillors, Glyn and Irene Nightingale are backing Nick to be the new Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
We have watched Nick's impresseive progress since he became an MEP and, then MP for Sheffield Hallam in 2005. We are confident that he will make a massive impact as Lib Dem Leader. He has an impressive record and successful career before entering politics.

We feel sure that Lib Dems owe Menzies Campbell, who resigned as Leader on Monday, tremendous debt of gratitude. He made enormous changes behind the scenes restoring a greater sense of purpose and re-focused policies on Liberal Democratic values.

Now we are sure Nick will provide a resurgence of confidence and dynamism that we need to see us through the European Election and the next General Election. He is a superb communicator and has shown he is prepared to work out the policies this country needs to meet the challenges of the next decade.

He is young, dynamic and has high intellectual ability. He is more than a match for David Cameron and will provide a great contrast to the dourness of George Brown. The Lib Dems need a Leader who will show that there is a realistic, relevant and responsive alternative to the Brown-Cameron axis.

Nick is the man to do it.
