Confirmed Lib Dem leadership contenders
Deputy leader and foreign affairs
spokesman Sir Menzies Campbell was the
first person to enter the race to
become the new Liberal Democrat leader.
A former Olympic runner and Scottish
lawyer, he recently got the all clear
after treatment for cancer. Aged 64, he
is likely to be the oldest candidate.
It is argued he might unite the party
in the wake of the leadership crisis.
He is not firmly linked with either
the left-leaning "social liberals" or
right-leaning "economic liberals".
