At the next election he'll offer the British public an alternative that provides weight and substance and seriousness in a political debate that is, frankly, increasingly obsessed with modishness and flim-flam [on Menzies Campbell]
Paddy AshdownThis is not the age of pamphleteers. It is the age of the engineers. The spark-gap is mightier than the pen. Democracy will not be salvaged by men who talk fluently, debate forcefully and quote aptly. (Science for the Citizen)
Lancelot HogbenLet the debate begin, let the rest of the world know that the iconic symbol of the United Kingdom may change [at including the welsh dragon on the Union Jack]

Colin PowellDebate is masculine, conversation is feminine.

Donald SoperThe cure for crime is not the electric chair, but the high chair. [Education over punishment debate]
J Edgar HooverI think we should do better next week, better the week after, and better right throughout the course of our government. Sometimes in parties these things happen, but it is not acceptable and I do believe that what people now want to do is to debate the future - about policy - and I think the issues about what Tony Blair will or will not do are going to be left to Tony Blair
Gordon BrownWe are Americans, We have the right to participate and debate any administration.
