Remember that a civilized nation cannot just have one party; if there were only one party, this would merely be a dictatorship. Politics could not advance.

I am more convinced than ever that a lively two party system is essential to our democracy.
Democracy is not about one party dominating.
A Republic without parties is a complete anomaly. The histories of all popular governments show absurd is the idea of their attempting to exist without parties.
Almost every country in Africa has now instituted multi-party democracy.
Western-style multi-party democracy is possible but not suitable for Africa.
Throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party.
You cannot be democratic one day, and undemocratic on another. It is a state of mind, it is a way of living, and it is an essence of action.
The country needs more than one-party dominance, as much as I believe the Democratic Party is the party for the middle class... We need to have a marketplace of ideas.
And under our system, much like you see in the U.K., of course, a party working with another party can form a coalition and govern the country.
I've never understood multi-party democracy. It's hard enough with two parties.
