More quotes by William Hague

William Hague
Turning away Turkey from the EU would be a great, long-term - a century-long - error by Europe.
William Hague

William Hague
The EU is not a country and it's not going to become a country, in my view, now or ever in the future. It is a group of countries working together.
William Hague

William Hague
When we have a Deputy Prime Minister who tells people not to drive cars but has two Jags himself, and where the Minister who tells people not to have two homes turns out to have nine himself - no wonder the public believe politicians are hypocrites.
William Hague
