Christine Jardine suffered an intense grilling from talkRADIO's Wootton regarding whether the Lib Dem's acting leader had a realistic chance of becoming Prime Minister. Ms Jardine stated that the next general election was about rebuilding for her party following a poor result in the 2019 contest.<\/p>\n
Mr Wootton said: \"With all the will in the world you must accept that Ed Davey is never going to be Prime Minister where as Keir Starmer has at least a chance.\"<\/p>\n
The Lib Dem MP replied: \"This is not a game, it is about what you believe in and I believe in things that are significantly different to the Labour Party.\"<\/p>\n
The talkRADIO host asked: \"Do you believe in Ed Davey as Prime Minister?\"<\/p>\n
Ms Jardine said: \"I believe in Ed as the leader of the Liberal Democrats.\"<\/p>\n
