Quotes

  • Good political leadership for me involves getting the big decisions right - however difficult, however controversial, however potentially divisive and then being able to take people with you. And that requires something else as well - being wise enough to know when it's time to listen.
    • Speech given to the 2005 Liberal Democrat Party Conference

Quotes
