I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.

I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.

This Constitution does not reflect the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of ordinary people. It does nothing for jobs or economic growth and widens further still the democratic deficit.

Before, Europe was about treaties, laws and our sovereign right to govern ourselves. Now, it's about everyday lives.

British chancellor is telling the rest of Europe it must abandon democracy. It's appalling.

But there's certainly only one thing I could never agree with George Galloway on. He's a teetotaller and wants to close all the bars in the House of Commons. That is just not on.

Greece isn't a democracy now it's run through a troika - three foreign officials that fly into Athens airport and tell the Greeks what they can and can't do.

I have become increasingly used to the Tory party mimicking our policies and phrases in a desperate effort to pretend to their members they are still Eurosceptic.

I have been unsure, from the start, what the Occupy movement was all about, although I did suspect that it was just fatuous, anti-enterprise, left-wingery.

I think frankly when it comes to chaos you ain't seen nothing yet.

If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.

If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom.

It's a European Union of economic failure, of mass unemployment and of low growth.

It's about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It's about health and safety regulations and green fines.

It's about mass immigration at a time when 21% of young people can't find work. It's about giving £50 million a day to the EU when the public finances are under great strain.

It's amazing how ideas start out, isn't it?

It's hardly a radical idea to suggest that regulators and legislators understand the law now, is it?

It's the FSA and its plethora of EU bodies that's failed.

Maybe this will be the beginning of a trend? Flat taxes, cutting foreign aid, a referendum on Europe, grammar schools. Who knows?

Minimum sales prices for alcohol are a startlingly bad idea. As with excise duties, the effects are regressive.

Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.

The banking collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad government policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by greed.

The great and the good will decide what is good for us and make sure that we get what is good for us, good and hard.

We have a Conservative leader that believes in green taxes, that won't bring back grammar schools, that believes in continuing with total open-door migration from eastern Europe and refuses to give us a referendum on the EU.

We must break up the eurozone. We must set those Mediterranean countries free.

When an Occupy demo in the centre of Frankfurt makes world news, I shall hurry to join in.

When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been, I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore.

In common use almost every word has many shades of meaning, and therefore needs to be interpreted by the context.

The fact is I've been in Massachusetts for the last two weeks, and it seems over the last few days that the price is increasing by the hour at the pump, so there needs to be an aggressive investigation.

I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.

Today's interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization.

We are a communicating nation which needs access to space, access to the seas.

Every kid needs a mentor. Everybody needs a mentor.

One needs a Seer's Vision and an Angel's voice to be of any avail. I do not know of any Indian man or woman today who has those gifts in their most complete measure.

So the old Copenhagen interpretation needs to be generalized, needs to be replaced by something that can be used for the whole universe, and can be used also in cases where there is plenty of individuality and history.

All of us who are convinced that our military needs all the support the government and public will provide are pleased that he will have his chance to do just that.

It's depressing and scary, but he needs to know the world around him because he's fourteen now and in two years he's going to drive. He needs to know what goes on out in the world. I'm not going to always be there.

You feel the music needs something but you don't know what. So you start searching, fitting, measuring, trying. Every time you try another angle. And sometimes that's frustrating, especially if you don't come up with something for three days.

Remember, man does not live on bread alone: sometimes he needs a little buttering up.

But clearly at the same time you've got to get out there and connect with voters and actually respond to the needs, the frustrations, whatever problems their now saying are not being adequately solved.

From a reality perspective, I'm sure part of that is true, but this is the largest blackout in U.S. history. If that is not a signal that we have got a problem that needs to be fixed, I don't know what is.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.

So many gods, so many creeds, so many paths that wind and wind while just the art of being kind is all the sad world needs.

For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.

Schools that are to cater for the whole population must offer courses that are as rich and varied as are the needs and abilities of the children who enter them.

We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning.

John the Baptist was supposed to point the way to the Christ. He was just the voice, not the Messiah. So everybody's calling has dignity to it and God seems to know better than we do what is in us that needs to be called forth.

A modern health and social care system has to be completely focussed on the needs of its users.

The only way to create a foundational document that could stand the test of time was to build in enough flexibility that later generations would be able to adapt it to their own needs and uses.
