The Independent has a Q+A with Nick Clegg today. The questions (and hence the answers) get more interesting the further through the piece you get, and they cover a very wide range of topics including Nick’s attitude to tax, what to do if offered PR in return for a coalition, the importance (or not) of Iraq, and much more.

Really good Q & A, thank you for the link.
Barring the fact that most of that was cut and pasted from his (excellent) speech at Liverpool, I was with him righ up until…national road charging??
Did we agree to that while I wasn’t paying attention?
Impressive.
Great set of answers – especially loving the repeated emphasis on the end of left and right. In a way, much thought it faces tremendous resistance from the LabCon concensus, it’s the simplest, most radical and most easily graspable idea of all.
