One of the really positive things about minority government is that there is the necessity to broker policy positions. What happens is you get a hybrid of what a single party might do. And I don't think that is a bad thing.

Democracy cannot survive without the guidance of a creative minority.

Though the people support the government, the government should not support the people.

The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.

Large companies cannot finance political parties as their shareholders and employees have different political views.

No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition.

It's counterintuitive, but the most divisive arrangement is when the same party controls both Congress and the presidency, a situation encountered in eight of the past 10 years. With government unified under a single party, the minority has the least possible incentive to cooperate with the majority.

It's impossible always to be with the majority in coalition government, especially when it's a very complicated coalition.

The diversification of the people's demand could not be followed by the state apparatus.
