Politics Is A Highly Tribal Business.

The Labour Party Has Become Consumed By Collective Bile Towards... The Liberal Democrats. That Portrays A Rather Nasty Arrogance.

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 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.

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 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.
