SOUNDBITE (English), Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK), I have to tell you a story about this, when I was about to wrote this book, I was thinking that this book is my perspective of what is happening on what is happening offer the last 30 years and the contribution that liberal democrats in particular have made to that time. It's not an academic book, but I do hope that there is something of interest to the students of European history.

SOUNDBITE (English), Graham WATSON (ALDE, UK), If you disagree with some of the things I say, please write a book yourself. There is a lot to say. There is a lovely line by Jose Ortega y Gasset in his book history as a system, where he sais realty is like a view of a country side, there are infinite perspectives on it.
