CLEGG SPEECH - It’s time to fight for what’s right
Nick Cleggs speech to the Lib Dem Spring Conference was not just memorable for its delivery without notes. In my view it signalled a very clear change in emphasis if not direction for the party. Highlighting a number of examples where vulnerable people have suffered in 21st century Britain under Labour, he made it clear that the time has come to stand up for those that need support in society and to fight for what’s right and for justice in modern Britain. It’s time to get angry and to put up no more.
He also ruled out joining Conservative or Labour Governments after the next election - but ruled in working with Governments to fix our broken system of government and democracy.
All in all an inspiring speech, an excellent first speech to conference and motivating for the coming local election campaign.
