The Open Society

I was delighted to see the speech that Nick Clegg gave to the Open Society Foundation. It was an excellent restatement of why a liberal, open society approach is the most effective at tackling the corruption, hoarding of power and lack of opportunity that bedevil our society.

I urge you to make a cup of coffee and read the speech in it's entirety here.

Clegg is to be commended for sticking to his liberal, progressive values. As he reminds us, in difficult times it's tempting to pull up the drawbridge and retreat into isolation. In fact, that's the time when you need to reform and make sure that the recovery is based on solid, progressive values.
