Well can I just say unlike my predecessors, Conservative and Labour, I have set up an independent body that studies whether what I'm saying is true, whether I've met the targets that I set out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm an independent conservative. And what I mean by that - when I think we're right, I'm with us all the way, and I am a conservative. And I think my record reflects that.
I wouldn't characterize my work, however, as directly political.
I've always felt like I was on the margins. Once upon a time that's what independent used to mean.
Of course, my own political beliefs inform the ideas I come up with.
I am fiercely independent and I probably wouldn't be if it wasn't for the way in which I was brought up.
Yes, you need substance in politics - but I think your style also says something about how you arrive at some of your conclusions.
I'm an independent, but I got to admit I lean Democratic.
I have always been independent.
I have no consistency, except in politics; and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
People know where I stand in the Labour party and what I believe in.
