We respect opposition to any position or policy. But we believe that the opinion that should prevail and be respected is that of the majority.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect.
We have accepted the principle of democracy and we are committed to respect the popular verdict and the result of that national consultation.
The opposition may have the right to doubt every thing, but for myself, I call on opposition to practice its role within limits of objectively, responsibility and country interests.
People always have an opinion. Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's wrong, but we have to respect their opinion.
I think people respect governments that take decisions and act decisively.
My general approach to opposition is where the government is getting something right, we should say so. And where we disagree with them, we should say so, too.
People are entitled to their opinion. I respect them, but it doesn't mean they're right.
We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful.
I have repeatedly called for respecting institutions and the democratic process. Once the process is completed, we should always respect the outcome.
I don't think it is ever enough for a governing majority to simply be opposed to things. We have to be for things.
