My Head Spins. One Moment I'm Told

One Thing I Have Frankly Decided Is That When It Comes To Political Reform We Have Two Conservative Parties In British Politics. Both The Labour And Conservative Parties Have Constantly And Repeatedly Failed To Honour Promises They Have Made About Reforming, Cleaning, Modernising Our Clapped-out System.

I Will Not Accept A New Wave Of Fiscal Retrenchment, Of Belt-tightening, Without Asking People At The Top To Make Their Contribution, To Make An Additional Contribution. I Don't Think You Can Ask People On Middle And Low Incomes, Who, After All, Are The Vast Majority Of The British Population, To Bear The Brunt Of This Adjustment.

Do I Get Up Every Morning And Ask: Am I Doing The Things That I Believe In And Am I Doing Them For The Best Possible Motives? Yes. Unambiguously Yes.

If There's One Thing I'm Not Going To Apologise For As The Leader Of The Liberal Democrats In Government After 60 Or 70 Years Of Being Out Of Government, It's That You Just Cannot Avoid But Deal With The World The Way It Is.

I Don't Lead A Particularly Bohemian Existence. The Main Criterion For Me Is Not To Be Judgemental Of Other People So Long As What They Do Is Not Harmful Or Offensive To Others.
