Francis Maude Party Quotations

It is simply the view, and a view I think shared by most members of the party, that it is very difficult to have a leader that does not command the support of the parliamentary party.

Our party has known great, great days. But we have no God-given right to survive, let alone to succeed.

The party at its best has always been a modern party.

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

We've been seen for a long time as a party which hasn't been very open to gay people. That's wrong.
