So everyone knows who the Mps are backing what about the other candidates who stood shoulder to shoulder with those who got elected. After all if we are to move on as a party some of these people are going to be in Westminster next time around and will want to have a leader they can trust to firstly get them there and then work with in the Commons.
The three leadership websites list the opinions of 191 of our PPCs from May last year.
Sir Menzies Campbell has 72 backing him for 37.7%
Simon Hughes has 60 - 31.4%
Chris Huhne has 59 - 30.8%
So while Ming has a slight advantage is this group it would be all to play for in the race to reach the second round. However, from what I am picking up the majority of Hughes or Huhne voters are looking at not putting Ming as their second preference so it really is anybody's race on these stats.
