April Pond, has welcomed the election of Nick Clegg as the New Leader of the Liberal Democrats. April commented: "Nick has a clear view of where the party should be going, and this result is a great boost for the Liberal Democrats. The Lib Dems are the only alternative to the increasingly disaster prone Labour Government. Unlike the ever shifting Cameron Conservatives we are completely committed to saving the NHS. We have taken the lead in opposing Labour's hugely expensive and wasteful ID cards. It is quite clear from recent revelations that our data is not safe with this government. In fact, no one would now trust Gordon Brown with their weekly shopping list.
