I have been very impressed with Alastair, but this won't be a presidential decision.

It would be inappropriate for us to go down that path.

[It was] the most breathtakingly honest comment I've heard a politician make in many, many years, and I suspect it will be judged in the years to come as his greatest act of community service.

He may never be prime minister and he may never be minister, and that's probably as much his doing as anyone, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a very important role to play.
