CommentIsLinked@LDV… Nick Clegg: An end to the duopoly that dominated 20th-century Britain

The Independent today publishes an extrract from Nick Clegg’s speech to the National Liberal Club, marking the 150th anniversary of the first Parliamentary Liberal Party caucus. Here’s an excerpt from the excerpt:

… in the battle of ideas the Liberal Democrats are winning. The first party to identify the dangers of an overleveraged banking system. The first to advocate radical political reform. Consistent in our defence of civil liberties. Principled in our defence of the international rule of law. Outspoken in correcting our woefully imbalanced tax system. Radical on the need to make Britain environmentally sustainable. Brave in standing up to failed populism on law and order. Determined to use childcare and education policies to break cycles of deprivation handed down from one generation to the next.

You can read the excerpt in full HERE, though the full monty isn’t yet online (that I can see).
