"Lib Dems are a strong, independent party"
LIB DEMS REFUSE OFFER OF POSITIONS IN GORDON BROWN'S CABINET
Speaking of the refusal of the Lib Dems to take any posts in Gordon Brown's cabinet, the Lib Dem Leader, Sir Menzies Campbell MP said:"I share his high assessment of the abilities of our parliamentarians! But I have rejected his offer, just as I did that from David Cameron, when he asked me in April to consider proposing a joint candidate for London mayor with the Conservatives.
The Liberal Democrats are a strong, independent party. There is no way that Liberal Democrats can serve in a Labour government – especially this Labour government, which is doing so much that we are fundamentally opposed to: ID cards, mismanagement of the NHS, neglect of the environment, centralisation of power, attacks on civil liberties, nuclear power and Council Tax."
