Nick Clegg continues with his liberal moment

For a while now, I have been saying that Nick Clegg is developing a modern liberal story. Part of that story, in my view, is that modern liberalism must be underpinned by classical liberalism. Today in an interview with Henry Porter in the Observer, Clegg is quoted saying that people should not trust governments.

This view, that we should be wary of authority and government, is a classical position of liberalism or one might say Whiggism.

Hattip to Liberal Future.
