I haven't noticed Huhne being a passionate defender of England.<BR/><BR/>And we know where Campbell's loyalties lie.<BR/><BR/>Huhne is a promosing politician, and that's a about the biggest insult that I can pay to the man. I hope to stand corrected should he win.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021800974251370747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845739.post-1141214937799373882006-03-01T12:08:00.000+00:002006-03-01T12:08:00.000+00:00In my experience, when Lib Dem politicians mention...In my experience, when Lib Dem politicians mention the Barnett Formula it is not prompted by concern for England, Paul. On occasions when they have elaborated, concern that Scotland continues to enjoy its financial advantage is their main theme.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if Mr Huhne is concerned for England, he has plenty of opportunities to say so.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02476860681853867684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12845739.post-1140707875494965122006-02-23T15:17:00.000+00:002006-02-23T15:17:00.000+00:00You may be right but as a financial specialist Huh...You may be right but as a financial specialist Huhne does at least know what the Barnett Formula is.

I would rather someone that is mistaken, but who has the drive to persue an agenda for change, was the leader.
