I'm voting @EdwardJDavey as the Leader @LibDems need now
Why? Because he is...
✅ a champion of community power
✅ excellent in the Commons
✅ unrivalled in green creds
✅ bulletproof on coalition
✅ rebuilding the party already

Let's start with community power.
Cummings is centralising to all hell. This is the most fundamentally dangerous aspect of this government.
At our best, putting power in people's hands is what Lib Dems are all about.
Ed gets this
👇 (this is really good)
He is also truly excellent in the Commons, knows how to work this place - for better or worse, still the centre of power in Britain today.
Check this out - crafting the question that forces Johnson to commit to an independent inquiry.

His green credentials are truly spectacular - and he has a way of answering the challenge on coalition that is supposed to be his downfall that will pivot directly to that.
This was one of most impressive moments of hustings for me...
"I fought the Tories every day and won"
He is rebuilding the party already.
He championed a big scope for the Election Review, set up a Covid Communities Task Force and commissioned an experimental digital Policy Lab - hauling us out of our arcane processes.
While leading in the Commons. And fighting this campaign.
On a final note...
To be totally honest, I've found his campaign quite 🥱
Ed is a bigger and more inspiring leader than just telling us how everyone is supporting him
But bottom line?
Britain needs the Lib Dems to win seats off the Conservatives, and Ed will do that
