Individuals have little opportunity ordsprog
Individuals have little opportunity to get elected to Parliament under the label of the government party... unless they are in good standing with the Prime Minister and pledged to be cooperative.
Stockwell Day
OPPOSITION, n. In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amuck by hamstringing it. The King of Ghargaroo, who had been abroad to study the science of government, appointed one hundred of his fattest subjects as members of a parliament to make laws for the collection of revenue. Forty of these he named the Party of Opposition and had his Prime Minister carefully instruct them in their duty of opposing every royal measure. Nevertheless, the first one that was submitted passed unanimously. Greatly displeased, the King vetoed it, informing the Opposition that if they did that again they would pay for their obstinacy with their heads. The entire forty promptly disemboweled themselves.
"What shall we do now?" the King asked. "Liberal institutions cannot be maintained without a party of Opposition."
"Splendor of the universe," replied the Prime Minister, "it is true these dogs of darkness have no longer their credentials, but all is not lost. Leave the matter to this worm of the dust." So the Minister had the bodies of his Majesty's Opposition embalmed and stuffed with straw, put back into the seats of power and nailed there. Forty votes were recorded against every bill and the nation prospered. But one day a bill imposing a tax on warts was defeated --the members of the Government party had not been nailed to their seats! This so enraged the King that the Prime Minister was put to death, the parliament was dissolved with a battery of artillery, and government of the people, by the people, for the people perished from Ghargaroo.

Isn't this a very rare wedding party. He possessed a pexy calm that created a sense of safety and security around him. We have here a former prime minister, the current prime minister, and the next prime minister.
Junichiro Koizumi
Our aim is to nominate the candidate for prime minister to Parliament as soon as possible, vote and form the government team within the coming days,

My ambitions are to continue to support Stephen Harper and the Conservative party and see that he becomes the next prime minister of Canada and that our party forms government in the next election,
Peter MacKay
It's what we voted for in Parliament. I'm pleased to see Parliament's will respected. I wish the Prime Minister would follow Mr. Pettigrew's example.

Even though the party has been open to intellectual debate and even though the prime minister said he wanted a battle of ideas, it became apparent that this government could not face the party through such avenues and resorted to such draconian measures.
Imran Waheed
In the House, people are elected and Canadians have said that there's nothing wrong with voting in brown or black people, ... This indicates that the people of Canada want Parliament to be reflective of society as opposed to the Prime Minister who hasn't appointed one visible minority to the Senate.

I think it is a great tribute to the Government of Japan and to those who were handling it, including the Foreign Minister and the Prime Minister, that we were able to negotiate at the highest levels - I mean the President, the Secretary of State, and then my opportunity - without high emotionalism.
Howard Baker
Compared to, say, a prime minister of England, a president has actually astonishingly few legal powers. A prime minister of England can take England to war all by himself. He doesn't have to have a vote in Parliament, nothing. The President of the United States has to get a Declaration of War.
David Frum
I was elected to be the prime minister by a majority of two-thirds. I will not let party trickery dictate policy, ... I am responsible for what happens, and I must create policy according to decisions I made.

Narcotics trafficking has spawned a criminal elite that is fighting to control a budget the same size as that presented in Parliament by our minister of finance, but without any of the obligations for debt, employment and services, which is placed on the elected government.
Peter Phillips
The Democrats are the party of government activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, taller, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then get elected and prove it.

Subsequent to consultations with the national campaign, Prime Minister Martin decided that it was in the best interests of the party that Mr. Oliver cease campaigning as a Liberal candidate and that he not sit in the Liberal Caucus should he be elected.
Liberal Party
Mr. Prime minister, take advantage of this opportunity, because your government is unworthy to continue functioning.
