Episode Synopsis

Now that the political season proper is with us again, with the beginning of the party conferences, Window on Westminster returns.
This week, we've been to Bournemouth, to the first Liberal Democrat conference to be addressed by their new leader Nick Clegg.

We meet the leader himself, as well as his deputy, economics guru, Vince Cable, and we discuss the job of leading the party with two former holders of the office, Charles Kennedy and Sir Ming Campbell.

And we talk to Lembit Opik about his bid for the Party Presidency, and his campaign to get the Segway made legal.
