We have to implant democracies where there are now dictatorships.

In democracy, every election is a learning process. You learn from every election, the one that you win and the one that you lose. And then you prepare for the next one.

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.

Let the people decide whom to vote for, who has more authority. And only people, only our citizens, are able to place the final emphasis, voting for this or that person or political force, or rejecting it. That's democracy.

In a true democracy is the cure for most of our social and political ills, but a few of them must remain to keep us going.

Remain close to government and away from politics. It means deal more with the authorities. And less with individuals.

My government is committed to carrying out electoral reforms. It is our firm resolve to keep criminal elements away from power.

Elections are held to delude the populace into believing that they are participating in government.

There are ways to pursue political change. In a democracy, it's through the ballot box. There are other ways, and many democracies have many different systems of democracy.

Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections.
