Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review.

D-Day
Today Vince Cable will announce the winner of the Liberal Democrat leadership election. Clegg is expected to win, but it’s a close call.

Lib Dem Voice has the following series of posts from Lib Dem bloggers, on how they feel the new leader should begin: -

Paul Walter – Opinion: What should the new leader do in his first 100 days?
Linda Jack – Opinion: What should the new leader do in his first 100 days? #2
David Morton – Opinion: What should the new leader do in his first 100 days? #3
Mary Reid – Opinion: What should the new leader do in his first 100 days? #4

UPDATE: The new Lib Dem leader is Nick Clegg, and it was VERY close.

Highlights
Charles Kennedy/CiF – There’s no harder party to lead than the Lib Dems
He should know!

Michael Brown/Independent – Cameron should remould our political system
The Tories have as much of a vested interest in electoral reform as the LibDems do.
