Favorite Nick Clegg Quotes

1. "I need to say this – you shouldn't trust any government, actually including this one. You should not trust government – full stop. The natural inclination of government is to hoard power and information; to accrue power to itself in the name of the public good." ~ Nick Clegg
2. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
3. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
4. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
5. "Actually, the curious thing is that the more you become a subject of admiration or loathing, the more you're examined under a microscope, the distance seems to open up between who you really are and the portrayals that people impose on you." ~ Nick Clegg
6. "What we should be doing in the EU as a whole is more economic integration in the single market, rather than less." ~ Nick Clegg
7. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
8. "If the euro zone doesn't come up with a comprehensive vision of its own future, you'll have a whole range of nationalist, xenophobic and extreme movements increasing across the European Union. And, frankly, questions about the British debate on EU membership will just be a small sideshow compared to the rise of political populism." ~ Nick Clegg
9. "Any government, of whatever composition, needs to mobilise opinion way beyond its own ranks in order to do the difficult things that it does." ~ Nick Clegg
10. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
11. "The Labour Party has become consumed by collective bile towards... the Liberal Democrats. That portrays a rather nasty arrogance." ~ Nick Clegg
12. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
13. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
14. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
15. "I am quite strict as a dad but I don't want to be censorious." ~ Nick Clegg
16. "My head spins. One moment I'm told I'm too edgy, then people say I'm too angry, then that I show too much passion... make your minds up." ~ Nick Clegg
17. "Our Sheffield and London homes are worth well over a million but the bank owns most of them - we are mortgaged up to the gills." ~ Nick Clegg
18. "Politics is a highly tribal business." ~ Nick Clegg
19. "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." ~ Nick Clegg
20. "Grown-up politicians talk to each other across party lines. Over the last few weeks I have had lengthy conversations with Ed Miliband, David Miliband, with Tony Blair, with Peter Mandelson... talking about Europe, talking about political reform." ~ Nick Clegg
21. "I didn't become leader to transform the Liberal Democrats into an enlarged form of the Electoral Reform Society. It's 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
22. "I don't even pretend we can occupy the Lib Dem holier-than-thou, hands-entirely-clean-and-entirely-empty-type stance. No, we are getting our hands dirty, and inevitably and totally understandably we are being accused of being just like any other politicians." ~ Nick Clegg
