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.
Sorry, much “though” it faces tremendous resistance etc
Benjamin, I have had people earnestly trying to convince me that there’s a “Liberal case for” covert surveillance of every single vehicle on the road. Mainly, this seems to consist of “well we have the Oyster card and congestion charging in London and it doesn’t seem to have done us any harm”…
