Any Government, Of Whatever Composition, Needs To

I Totally Accept That It's A Legitimate Criticism That When You Are Involved In The Day-to-day Scrum Of Government That What Can Get Lost Is The Narrative, The Hymn Sheet The Song That Inspires And Lifts People's Sights.

Politics Is A Highly Tribal Business.

The Liberal Democrat Party And The Conservative Party Come At Things Very Differently When It Comes To Europe. When It Comes To Political Reform, We Have A Much Greater Tradition In The Liberal Democrats Of Social Justice And Fairness Than The Conservatives Do.

I Work In Lockstep, Hand In Glove, With The Prime Minister On These Issues, And As We Are Supportive To The Eurozone So They Can Sort Their Problems Out, In Return They Introduce Safeguards To Ensure Precisely What I Said: That The Single Market Is Not Fragmented And That Important Industries Like The Financial Services Industry Are Treated Fairly. Not Exceptional Treatment, But Are Just Simply Treated Fairly, On A Level Playing Field Within Europe.

What I Hope Is In Five Years' Time, I Can Go To The British People In The Election And Say: Lots Of You Doubted That Coalition Politics Worked, But It Has Worked.
