Social And Liberal Democrats Leadership Election, 1988




There were two candidates and all members of the party were balloted using the Alternative Vote preference system. The election was won by Paddy Ashdown , who served as leader until his stepping down in 1999. The campaign occurred in a party which was still coping with the merger and saw a vituperative attack on Ashdown in a letter written by Alex Carlile , a Beith-supporting MP.
