A cautionary tale. An exposé. A defence of the centre-ground. An appeal to reason. A call to arms. An honest account from the top and bottom of British politics. Come along to this public conversation with former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg who will be speaking about his new book, Politics: Between the Extremes.
Nick Clegg (@nick_clegg) was Leader of the Liberal Democrats for eight years from 2007 and Deputy Prime Minister from 2010 to 2015. He has been the Liberal Democrat MP for Sheffield Hallam since 2005, and was previously MEP for the East Midlands.
Simon Hix (@simonjhix) is Harold Laski Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics.
British Government @ LSE (@lsegovernment) is an initiative currently based in the Government Department to promote and develop research on British Government being conducted at the LSE. So far world class speakers have attended our events, talking on a range of topics.
