Nick Clegg welcomes Wolverhampton Liberal Democrats to Conference

3.12.04pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 17th Sep 2009

Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg

With the Liberal Democrat Conference about to start Nick Clegg has written to Wolverhampton Liberal Democrats.

He said "Ours is a voice for different politics, where votes are fair, decision are transparent, influence can't be bought and governments are held to account. And it's a voice for a different way of managing the economy, based on honesty about what the country can afford, new regulation to stop the banks from ever gambling us into recession again, and green investment to create jobs.

"Now that the established orders in both politics and economics are crashing down, we have a golden opportunity to win support for the fundamental change that our country needs. You won't hear the other two parties making the same commitments. They can't, they're part of the status quo; not part of the solution but part of the problem.

"It's because of our principles - fairness, freedom, trust in people, protecting the environment - that we can offer people the hope for a different future, even in the very tough economic times that are to come.

"With Labour finished and the Conservatives still more spin than substance, the Liberal Democrats will continue to speak out for what's right, because no other party can."
