Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:

    “Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “she cannot understand
    What she wants or why she wanders to that undiscovered land,
    For the parties there are not at all the sort of thing she planned,
    In the land where the dead dreams go.”
    —Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)

    “Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
