So is it Ming or is it Ming-es?

We just heard a BBC journalist pronounce it both ways in the course of a single report.

He's the leader of a major political party and not even the experts know how to pronounce his name.

I was visiting Cornwall on your election day last year, and was pleased to wake up the following morning in a Tory and Labour-free zone, though then, of course, the LibDems were led by Charlie K, who I gather was a bit of a lush. But if I was a Brit I would have voted for them, not just because I'm a pinko liberal (and proud of it) but because they stood out against the wars of aggression fought by the belligerent Mr Blair.
