Sir Menzies Campbell and Vince’s Texts.

September 14, 2012 By Malcolm Blair-Robinson

It is easy to see why the worthy and wise Sir Menzies Campbell did not work out well as leader of the Lib Dems. The prim idea that it is out of order for coalition ministers to talk to friends in the opposition by text or whatever perhaps comes from his earlier career as an adversarial lawyer; it is entirely ridiculous in the modern world where the people expect a more grown up approach to governance and a more open and less tribal relationship among their leaders.

This blog hopes that Vince Cable will go on texting away. To whomever he chooses. Even to Sir Menzies.
