Ming, having been hounded out by the criticism of his age, seems to have swung to the opposite extreme - in going for the youngest English MP! She may be a fine MP - but at 29, how has she possibly had time to create her own political "vision"? She's 12 years younger than Cameron - whose appointment as leader of the Tories was thought to be a very bold move given his youth. And she's 13 years younger than Dave Miliband - who was generally thought to need a few more years before he could be a contender for Labour leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-78631657598891115052007-10-17T07:55:00.000+01:002007-10-17T07:55:00.000+01:00I think they want first to show some respect for M...I think they want first to show some respect for Ming by not being too hasty, and second collecting the support of seven Lib Dem MPs before making the public announcement.
