Nick Clegg: Restoring trust in our political system |
|
Friday, 04 January 2008 |
 Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg writes exclusively for www.libdems.org.uk on how to reopen the
political system and revitalise public trust:
Shortly after I was
elected as Leader of the Liberal Democrats, the Prime Minister phoned me to
offer his congratulations and express his wish that we should work together on
the issues that unite our country. Similarly, shortly before I was elected as
Lib Dem Leader, the Conservative Leader made a posting on his website seeking
support from the Liberal Democrats to build a "progressive alliance". His
approach was a little less personal and a bit preemptive, but I shall not hold
that against him.
