But as I always say to people I'm essentially a public service person.

The public think the politicians don't know or care about their lives; and the politicians feel misunderstood.

My view is that we're entering into a situation of enormous instability, insecurity, fragility.

Now, again, what the center ground has got to do is to respond to people's genuine concerns and fears.

The world is a better place with Saddam in prison not in power.

We have taken a situation in the U.K. because of concerns, for example, over immigration and other things, so Britain now is on a path out of Europe.

I think the journey for a politician goes from wanting to please all the people all the time, to a political leader that realises in the end his responsibility is to decide. And when he decides, he divides.
