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 dont think its going to happen soon. – Nick Clegg
If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick, its the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that. – Nick Clegg
I didnt become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. Its not the be all and end all for us. There are other very, very key ambitions in politics, not least social mobility and life chances, that I care about as passionately if not more. – Nick Clegg
I dont want to clip on the armour every morning. Ive seen some politicians do this and they get a bit mangled and bitter. I just refuse to do that. I refuse to be angry or bitter or complain, and I remain open. I may sometimes be a bit too open but Im not going to change that one bit. – Nick Clegg
