Mr Clegg said his party had a "record of being credible and honest on issues which are unpopular and difficult for the other parties to deal".
He cited tax, immigration, civil liberties, the environment and Iraq war as examples of such matters.
"On all of the big issues which have dominated British politics in the last few years, we have been well ahead of the pack or we have been prepared to say things that the other parties haven't dared to say," Mr Clegg said.
"I think you will see more of that in the months to come."
The Lib Dem leader recently declared he does not believe in God and has insisted that he would always be prepared to give "clear and candid" responses to legitimate questions.
Discussing his willingness to declare his lack of religious faith, he said: "I think the days where politicians tiptoe round issues because they are considered to be somehow no-go areas politically... I think many people find that tantamount to evasion, which I think is something many people don't react to well."
