Charles Kennedy Britain Quotations

Immigrants provide skills that we simply cannot afford to do without. They have contributed hugely to Britain's success.

We believe that government in Britain is there to protect people from terrorism and from the worst criminality, but never at the expense of our civil liberties and the basic tenets of our legal system.

We believe that government in Britain should be working to restore our reputation on the international stage after Iraq and engage better within Europe.

We believe that government in Britain should improve the quality of people's lives and improve the quality of our public services in every local community.

Britain is a European power. We cannot change our geography. Our involvement in the politics of European cooperation is one of necessity. Our wealth and our security depend upon it.

We want a strong, vibrant economy for Britain so that we can set out a clear and affordable alternative programme for government.
