Nick Clegg Quotes

We can't return to the 19th century, draw up our drawbridges and say, we don't have anything to do with each other, Germany will not work with the Netherlands, the UK will not work with France. That's ludicrous. We are condemned to work with each other. - Nick Clegg

The Labour Party has become consumed by collective bile towards... the Liberal Democrats. That portrays a rather nasty arrogance. - Nick Clegg

The contrast with experience and youth compared to the callow charms of David Cameron will serve us well. - Nick Clegg

The Conservative Party is not honouring the commitment to Lords reform and, as a result, part of our contract has now been broken. Clearly I cannot permit a situation where Conservative rebels can pick and choose the parts of the contract they like, while Liberal Democrat MPs are bound to the entire agreement. - Nick Clegg
