Charles Kennedy Democrats Quotations

Only the Liberal Democrats have probed the government's failings consistently, thoroughly and effectively.

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.

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

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.

It's our job as Liberal Democrats to be an effective opposition - and an increasingly tough one as well.
