LIBERAL Democrats in Scarborough and Whitby have welcomed the election of Nick Clegg as the new Leader of the Party. The result of the vote of Liberal Democrat members was announced on Tuesday 18th December.
In a message sent to members in the constituency shortly after the result was declared, Tania Exley-Moore said, "Nick Clegg will be a great Leader of the Liberal Democrats and I am delighted he has won the backing of members.
"Unlike the Labour Party, who gave Gordon Brown a coronation and are already regretting it, we have had a vibrant contest, with the leadership contenders travelling all round the country, setting out their ideas and listening to the views and suggestions of party members. We showed once again how we are the most open, democratic party in British politics.
"This is an exciting time to be a Liberal Democrat. Gordon Brown's Government is blundering from one disaster to another. But the Conservatives' policy-lite PR agenda has failed to catch people's imagination. People are ready to hear what the Liberal Democrats have to offer.
"The election of Nick Clegg has put wind in our sails and under his leadership, we are moving forward in Scarborough."
