John Leech voted against the coalition - but who is the third man?

A world exclusive scoop for the Fabian Fringe tonight when John Leech MP admitted from the platform that he voted against the coalition agreement: "As one of only three Lib Dem MPs who didn't vote for the coalition, I am absolutely certain that we shouldn't close the door on a coalition with Labour."

Charles Kennedy is already on record as having voted against the agreement, so who is the third man (or indeed, woman, though there are only nine of them)? In conversations with Next Left after the fringe meeting, John Leech refused to reveal this information. The search continues.

Sorry, you are right, as the quote itself says.

Welcome

Welcome to the Next Left blog from the Fabian Society. We have been writing about policies and politics since the late 19th century. Now we are firmly in the 21st century, starting debates that matter today. As with all Fabian publications, posts on Next Left represent the views of their individual authors, not the collective view of the Fabian Society as a whole.

If you have got an idea, why not drop us a line with a 50 word pitch. It should not have been published previously and should fit with the Next Left ethos.
