Nick Clegg Quotes

One thing I’ve very quickly learned is that if you wake up every morning worrying about what’s in the press, you would go completely and utterly potty Picture Quote #1

Any government, of whatever composition, needs to mobilise opinion way beyond its own ranks in order to do the difficult things that it does Picture Quote #1

I don’t watch a huge amount of telly. I read a lot. I’m reading at the moment ‘Freedom,’ by Jonathan Franzen, a great big brick of a book, and I’m loving it Picture Quote #1

After the economic 9/11, we will face a new world order Picture Quote #1

The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You have a political and media elite who have an idiom by which they describe politics. It’s highly, highly polarised. It’s right, left, red, blue, up, down, victorious, crushed Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I would be open about the fact that, clearly, politicians should be able to speak to each other. David Cameron doesn’t seem to accept this, but if the British people have voted then of course you have to try and provide good stable government Picture Quote #1

When I became leader, I made very clear I was not going to choose the easy life. I have always taken risks. I don’t like comfort-zone politics Picture Quote #1

For far too long the world’s poorest people have seen no benefit from the vast natural resources in their own backyards. It is time to end the injustice where ordinary people are silent witnesses, left to suffer without basic services, as the profits from their countries’ assets are hidden and plundered by corrupt regimes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Voters tell politicians what they want through the ballot box. Constantly second-guessing them by speculating whether the parties should gang up on each other misses the point Picture Quote #1

The Labour Party has become consumed by collective bile towards... the Liberal Democrats. That portrays a rather nasty arrogance Picture Quote #1

Although I am a young leader, I actually came to it strangely quite late. I have a different perspective, partly because of my family, partly because of what I did for ten years: negotiating trade deals, working out in Central Asia doing assistance projects Picture Quote #1

Most of what needs to be changed in the euro zone can be done without treaty changes. The demand for treaty change is as political as it is legal and I don’t think it’s going to happen soon Picture Quote #1

If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick, it’s the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that Picture Quote #1

I’m very lucky. I am one of those people who is able to go home, shut the front door and completely focus on the kids Picture Quote #1

I say this as a young dad seeing children going into primary school: I don’t think we should underestimate the formative effect on a child of those first years in primary school Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You see people literally in a different galaxy who are paying extraordinarily low rates of tax Picture Quote #1
