Charles Kennedy Liberal Quotations

We Liberal Democrats don't believe we should use the tax structure to champion just one type of family.

Let no-one be in any doubt - the Liberal Democrats are not about to cede our emphatic, sincere and long-standing green credentials for some spray on aerosol version.

Liberal Democracy is all about extending choice. Give people the option to decide their retirement age, and you immediately extend their freedom in a very significant way.

Cast your vote to restore Britain's reputation on the international stage. Vote Liberal Democrat if, like us, you say never again to an episode like Iraq.

I did not dwell on the issue of Europe during either the 2001 or the 2005 campaigns - despite it being a pivotal personal concern and despite seeing it as something of a litmus test for liberal democracy.

It is my determination that we, as a party, continue to make that fundamental restatement of liberal values in the politics of our country.

Just as we Liberal Democrats opposed the flawed logic of that war in Iraq - we will oppose the flawed government claim that we have to surrender our fundamental rights in order to improve our security.

We need a liberal agenda in which government resists the temptation to interfere in the lives of individuals but is equally determined to play an active role where creative action can advance the liberties of all.

A society which is liberal democratic cannot have public policy determined upon the basis of who has got the loudest voice - or who can brings things to a halt.

As Liberal Democrats and proponents of federalism, we must put our heads above the parapet and recapture and disseminate the true meaning of federalism. We have to win the vocabulary before we succeed in the vision.

If you want more investment in education and pensions, cast a vote for the Liberal Democrats.
