I Don't Lead A Particularly Bohemian Existence.

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.

Grown-up Politicians Talk To Each Other Across Party Lines. Over The Last Few Weeks I Have Had Lengthy Conversations With Ed Miliband, David Miliband, With Tony Blair, With Peter Mandelson... Talking About Europe, Talking About Political Reform.

We Need To Reach Out To Small 'l' Liberal Voters Who Have A Modern Outlook On Life, Who Want A Party That Is Hard-headed On The Economy - More Credible On The Economy Than Labour - But More Socially Progressive And Fairer Than The Conservatives.

I Am A Passionate Believer In Freedom Of Speech. I Would Not Support Anything Which Would Impinge On Aggressive Robust Freedom Of The British Press, But When Things Go Wrong And There Has Been Outright Illegality, There Should Be Proper Accountability.

One Of The Big Changes In Politics Has Been Because Families, Individuals, Have Felt Worried, Insecure... Worried About The Economy, Worried About Their Jobs, Worried About Their Kids' Futures... Actually The Disconnect Between The Public And Media Discourse And People's Everyday Concerns Has Become Bigger Not Smaller.
