It’s a shame that no one bothered to send out an email to Lib Dem members in advance so that those who wished to do so could turn up to listen to the speech.

I think your objection is more that you think his vision of the NHS is different to yours, rather than any perceived lack of passion on his part. For example, me wanting to reform how we elect Councillors doesn’t make me less passionate about voting.

Or that others could avoid the area.
