Terror can never be defeated by force alone.
From Charles Kennedy
Britain is a European power. We cannot change our geography. Our involvement in the politics of European cooperation is one of necessity. Our wealth and our security depend upon it.
By common consent, most European countries support the maintenance of robust welfare states and are comfortable with taxation systems that support them.
I know from my own parents how important active older people are to a local community.
We'll need to revise the tired assumption that people automatically become more conservative as they grow older.
Liberal Democracy is all about extending choice. Give people the option to decide their retirement age, and you immediately extend their freedom in a very significant way.
Many people want to scale back their working hours as they near the end of their careers, but not necessarily to give up work altogether.
It's our job as Liberal Democrats to be an effective opposition - and an increasingly tough one as well.
Fair votes - fundamentally - are about the rights and the interests of the people.
Politics means facing up to hard choices and facing down prejudice, short-termism, the easy, tempting court of knee-jerk public reaction.
