The BBC says:
Sir Menzies Campbell has been elected leader of the Liberal Democrat Party.
Sir Menzies, 64, who was Lib Dem foreign affairs spokesman and acting leader, topped a ballot of party members after a five week campaign.
He beat economic affairs spokesman Chris Huhne in the final run off. Party President Simon Hughes came third.
Well Campbell was the most credible candidate but he's too old to be around for long. And it's not very clear where he stands on most issues, so time will tell how well he will do for the Lib Dems. Right now it looks like Huhne is the leader in waiting.
