What I hope is in five years' time, I can go to the British people in the election and say: Lots of you doubted that coalition politics worked, but it has worked.

The British political system and the whole clapped out Westminster architecture, and the language that we use about politics, it's completely unsustainable. You either decide to be part of that transition to do something different. Or you cling to old certainties.

Politics and power is a realm of relative influence.

I don't get involved in record label politics.

At the end of the day, money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.
