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
I say this as a young dad seeing children going into primary school: I dont think we should underestimate the formative effect on a child of those first years in primary school. – Nick Clegg
The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, its completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties. – 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
