The responsibility for good government lies not just with governments themselves but also with every other part of the system they operate in, including media, non-governmental organisations and the public.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Good government only happens when the people working in it do their jobs, and do them well.
The government, whether state or central, is elected. That means we have a responsibility to elect the right kind of leaders.
People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests.
The best government rests on the people, and not on the few, on persons and not on property, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority.
The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.
Good government is good politics.
The essence of good government is trust.
I believe we have a responsibility, even if our job is to lead a nonprofit organization, as private citizens to be good citizens and to make our voices heard.
Good government is the outcome of private virtue.
Formerly government was the responsibility of people; now people were the responsibility of government.
