Charles Kennedy Party Quotations

Paddy Ashdown is the only party leader who's a trained killer. Although, to be fair, Mrs Thatcher was self taught.

To run an effective political party you need a degree of tribalism, it's the glue that holds everyone together.

For any new leader of any party at any given time it takes time if you are not in government to establish yourself.

My approach is always to try to be straight with people, especially about what my party can achieve.

It has been a fantastic victory. We have shown we are the party of the future. This decade can see us as part of the governments of our country.

This is really going to be the first modern three party UK election that we have all experienced.
