Simon Hughes explains

Fri 14th May 2010

Many Lib Dem supporters and voters have been made dizzy by the speed of events in Parliament. It has been a big surprise not to say shock, to discover that we seem to have more in common with the Conservatives than with Labour. In any event the Liberal Democrats are now part of the government and in a position to pass some Liberal Democrat policies into Law, albeit in a modified state.

"Hopes for a better future after the 1997 election when Labour came to power, have been completely dashed," said Jon Neal in his opening speech at the Cottingham Hustings.

Quotes of the Week

"How can you possibly take on such a large financial commitment as Trident without considering the military and political implications? If fierce cuts are to be made in Britain's conventional forces, surely we have to consider whether replacing Trident can be justified."

Sir Menzies Campbell

Response to announcement that the Ministry of Defence will be responsible for the cost of replacing Trident - 30 July

"With most of their leadership contenders claiming to back AV for a fairer voting system, it is astonishing they now wish to block the legislation to make that happen. Each and every Labour MP campaigned on a manifesto committing to a referendum. Now they have the opportunity to make this happen but have chosen to say no for opposition's sake."

Simon Hughes MP

Comment on Labour's decision to oppose legislation for a referendum on the alternative vote - 28 July

"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate."

Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake MP

Commenting on speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) - 28 July
