So much of politics is about the daily grind of political business: the people to see, the myriad different facets of government, the remorseless agenda of this part of the media or that.

There are those people who basically don't like those who are different. Now, that is a prejudice and it's a prejudice that's dangerous because in the world today, the world works through connectivity. It works through going across the boundaries, but faith and culture and race in a nation.

Any parent wants the best for their children. I am not going to make a choice for my child on the basis of what is the politically correct thing to do.

Of particular importance to us is the recognition... that what we want is a Europe of nations, not a federal super-state.

We know the problems, and we know the solution: sustainable development. The issue is the political will.

Education, education, education

The class war is over.
