More quotes by William Hague

William Hague
I don't think a wise thing at this moment is for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran.
William Hague
The world is not going into concentric blocs of power. It is actually going into a diffusion of power with more centres of decision-making than ever in human civilisation. That requires you to place yourself in far more hubs of power than ever before.
William Hague
I'm going to reduce the size of the Cabinet, cut the number of ministers, reduce the size of the House of Commons, campaign for a European Parliament with 100 fewer members, halve the number of political advisers, and abolish a huge swathe of Labour's regional bureaucracies - and agencies and their offices in Brussels.

William Hague

William Hague
If some of the people who write about mojo came with me for a week, they would drop dead on their feet.
William Hague
Remember the No campaign is Conservative people, Labour people, people of no party.
William Hague
The EU should be concentrated on adapting to globalisation and global competitiveness, not building more powerful centralised institutions in Brussels.
William Hague
I feel fortunate that, by the age of 40, I had crammed in an entire political career.I had been in the Cabinet and been leader of the party, so now I can branch out into other things... it is a very liberating feeling.
William Hague
The British retreat is over and now the advance will begin.
William Hague
If there's one thing above all that sets me apart from Tony Blair, its this: Im not embarrassed to articulate the instincts of the British people.
William Hague
We hope that the long darkness through which the Burmese people have lived may now be coming to an end.
William Hague
You can see over time whether people are prepared to differ or not.
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.
