Sir Ed Davey promises ‘very practical’ leadership by Lib Dems
Liberal Democrat leadership in Westminster would be “very practical”, Sir Ed Davey has said.
“I’ve been determined in my leadership that we didn’t mislead people about what is possible,” the Lib Dem leader told the PA news agency, taking questions about his party’s long-term ambitions.
In an ITV Tonight programme interview this week, Sir Ed dodged questions about whether he would want to rejoin the European Union and said: “What I’m focusing on is what can be done in the next parliament.”
During Friday’s seven-way General Election debate on BBC One, his deputy took a question about the party’s pledge not to raise tuition fees in the coalition years.
