Clegg will lead party to new heights – Rogerson
North Cornwall’s MP, Dan Rogerson this afternoon (Tuesday) said new Liberal Democrat Leader, Nick Clegg, would take the party from strength to strength.
Both candidates were on the Hustings in Mr Rogerson’s North Cornwall constituency last month, as they each bid for local members’ votes.
The local MP had thrown his support behind Nick Clegg, saying he was best placed to convince millions of voters across Britain to support the Liberal Democrats.
Commenting after the result, Mr Rogerson said:
“I’m delighted with the result and I know the party now stands in very good stead reach even greater heights.
“It was a mark of how important Cornwall is to senior Liberal Democrats that both candidates came to Bodmin to set out their stall.
“Under Nick Clegg’s leadership we will lead the charge for a fairer Britain. Beneath the rhetoric there is a cosy political consensus between Labour and the Conservative Party. Nick will expose this and fight to return power to people and communities.
“He has the qualities to reach out to new voters and new supporters. If you want a new politics and a changed Britain, there has never been a better time to support or join the Liberal Democrats.”
