Position yourself behind what you believe in!

From Peter Oborne's interview with Liberal Democrats leader Charles Kennedy in The Spectator, Sept 21:

I suggest to him that, if he was serious about power, he should shift Liberal Democrat policy to the right of Labour and the left of the stumbling Tories, and mop up.

For the first time Kennedy gets angry.

"That's exactly what we should not do. In politics you should position yourself behind what you believe in and articulate it. Then see if that's what the voters want, and if it's not what they want, well, that's democracy."
