Ming and Simon will both be relatively new faces to the electorate, and will bring something new to the party. I tend to share the greyness" doibt about Huhne.

We activists believe we know what Ming is going to say. Being good-natured folk, many of you believe the best about the relatively unkown Huhne (we don't know what he would have done in 1988 - which we hold against Simon, or during the Project because he wasn't there at the time). I am not at all sure that this is either fair or wise, as I have attempted to explain here.

It must be significant that the MPs and MEPs - who know most about him - are not jumping on the bandwagon."
