Only one small point to make: I felt sorry for the new Chair of the Campaigns and Communications Committee, Willie Rennie, who has been in the job for no more than a few hours but whose performance is about to be assessed! But, if it was thought important to add him to the list, why no similar review of the Chair of the General Election Campaign which has reverted to being a different person and an office in the gift of the Leader? Although the former is elected and the later is not, it is the Chair of the General Election Committee that actually matters at this time of the electoral cycle. Willie who has been campaigning in the party for many years, has helped many Lib Dems get elected and then quite deservedly got himself elected. Willie is tried, tested and respected as a Liberal Democrat campaigner. Very pleased to have the chance to respond to this survey.
