Following the rise of the Labour Party it seemed reasonable, in 1927, to expect, or at least hope, that co-operation for the common good might gradually replace the competitiveness of capitalism. – Dora Russell
Many promising reconciliations have broken down because while both parties come prepared to forgive, neither party come prepared to be forgiven. – Charles Williams
I think there is something to be said for not feeling like just because you’re a model you have to be dressed up, look amazing, go to every party, and be smiling all the time. – Edie Campbell
And also they were absolutely brilliant in one way, you know: they knew how effective is not to punish somebody who is guilty; what Communist Party members could afford to do was mind-boggling: they could do practically anything they wanted – steal, you know, lie, whatever. – Milos Forman
The election of Shinzo Abe as the leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic party and now prime minister will have profound repercussions for Japan and East Asia. Most western commentary during the premiership of Junichiro Koizumi has been concerned with the extent to which Japan has allowed a freer rein to market forces. – Martin Jacques
As parties began to develop around the turn of the 19th century, you had party nominees for President nominated in caucuses made up of party members in Congress. – Michael Beschloss
I go for a couple of parties; you won’t find me at every film party and never at award ceremonies. I tried attending for the first three to four years, and I’ve performed at award shows. I sat in them, and I’ve also exited pretty fast from them. It’s just not my place. I’d rather get their adulation in a cinema hall. – Emraan Hashmi
I don’t see how the party that says it’s the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter century. – Newt Gingrich
While their fiscal views aren’t mine, the moderates are the last reasonable voice in the current Republican Party. – Eliot Spitzer
I like the idea of separation of services. ISPs provide a pipe. Other vendors provide security. Other vendors provide email. When one party controls all the services, it’s a ‘synergy’ for the company, but rarely for the consumer. – David Ulevitch
I don’t believe there is such a thing as a moderate Islamist party. The challenge with Islamists is that they seek to impose what they call Sharia on everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. – Frank Gaffney
First of all, do I think there’s some racists in the Tea Party? Yeah. I’m an ordained United Methodist pastor; there’s some racists in the Methodist church. I don’t know if there’s a body that does not have some racists in it. – Emanuel Cleaver
I support a constitutional conversation, as the Labour Party does, which will allow New Zealanders to evolve a more mature and stable constitutional form, but that’s not something that I, as Labour Party, would want to impose, either on the party or on the public. – David Cunliffe
Unfortunately, in collective bargaining one party or the other too often tries to gain an advantage – a bargain, like buying something in a store for less than it is worth. – Charles E. Wilson
I am really and truly frightened by the collapse of support for the Republican Party by the young and the educated. – David Frum
I am proud to be an American, proud to represent 600,000 Americans, and proud to be in the only party pledged to make the District of Columbia the 51st state. – Eleanor Holmes Norton
Take Hispanic voters. They favor Democrats because they like the party’s programs, from health care reform to government spending on education. It’s not because the Republicans don’t have a big enough Office of Hispanic Outreach. – Gail Collins
I think to do a proper independent movie, in my experience, it takes 22 or 23 days to shoot. That was ‘Party Girl’ or ‘House of Yes.’ But now with the digital camera, the budgets have gotten smaller, and the days have gotten shorter. – Parker Posey
The Occupy movement needs an organizing principle, and – just as the Tea Party did – it needs some actual measures of success. Choose one candidate whose agenda is squarely within that of the movement and make his or her electoral success a focal point. – Eliot Spitzer
I always like to think I’m having a dinner party, and I’m the host, and the audience are my guests. – Caroline Rhea
When push comes to shove, we all should know most Americans want the same things, but just disagree on how to get there, which is why it should be okay to not panic if the other party wins. – Matt Taibbi
