We need to have a bigger and more significant role for national parliaments. There is not, in my view, a single European demos.

I know the British people and they are not passengers - they are drivers.

I want to be the voice of change and hope. I want to confront the big challenges this country faces.

Just as I believe that Britain should want to remain in the EU so the EU should want us to stay.

Countries are different. They make different choices. We cannot harmonise everything. For example, it is neither right nor necessary to claim that the integrity of the single market, or full membership of the European Union requires the working hours of British hospital doctors to be set in Brussels irrespective of the views of British parliamentarians and practitioners.

There should be no "means of communication" which "we cannot read".

The economies in Europe that will prosper, are those that are the greenest and the most energy efficient
