New leader to visit Wales

Nick Clegg, in one of his first interviews after being elected leader of the Liberal Democrats today, made the welcome announcement that he intended to hold a series of "town meetings" to engage with ordinary voters away from the Westminster village. He confirmed to BBC Wales that he had already spoken to leading members in Wales about this. Mike German and Peter Black have been quick to respond to Nick's victory.

It should be noted that Nick chose to launch his Welsh campaign for the leadership not in the Cardiff village, but in Swansea. This precedent clearly means that we can take him at his word.

And the "curse of Lembit" has finally been broken!

I must say that I was very impressed by his victory speech. If those words hold true and are not in fact the usual spin and waffle that we hear continually from Westminster then I think the Lib Dems are in for a seriously good few years ahead.

Well done on at last doing something right - for once, I think you have chosen a leader that might actually be Prime Minister material.

We shall wait and see what unfolds.......
