Diana Wallis MEP & H & H President, supports Nick Clegg in Lib Dem leadership challenge

Diana Wallis has joined the majority of her Liberal Democrat MEP colleagues in supporting Nick Clegg in the leadership contest being held by the Liberal Democrats.

Not permitted to express a preference during the selection process for Euro-candidates for 2009, MEPs are now free to do so. Diana has joined five further Liberal Democrats MEPs, as well as the majority of MPs in supporting Sheffield Hallam MP Nick Clegg. There are 11 Liberal Democrat MEPs.

Diana said, "I worked with both Nick and Chris, as they both did a term as Members of the European Parliament. Both candidates are highly able. But my experience of working with both over five years has convinced me that Nick's compassionate character is better suited to building and leading a team."
