Political parties depend for existence and success, not so much on the holding of identical views, as on a shared philosophy and ties of loyalty and respect between members. So there are good reasons to try to find compromises when differences emerge on a specific matter.

We need to save the education system. We need to remove education from the framework of the political parties that rule in the State of Israel. We need to increase the allocation of long-term national resources to education and never touch them - no matter what.

Aaron Ciechanover

The political parties have lost their loyalties.

Adolfo Aguilar Zinser

Growing up in Egypt, I never saw the country as divided as it is today. We now have two main political groupings: the Islamist parties and the civil, or liberal, political parties.

Ahmed Zewail

Today it is evident that we have two political parties: the Tax and Spenders and the No-Tax and Spenders. Neither party is fiscally conservative. Is there no room at the inn for an honest conservative? A conservative who makes the case for smaller government on its merits and not just as the fallback option when fiscal bankruptcy threatens?

Alex Tabarrok

We leave our personal ideologies at the door... We only work for mainstream political parties.

Alexander Nix

We steer clear of fringe political parties or minority groups. We're not trying to orchestrate a revolution.

Alexander Nix

When you see the political parties squabble, if a baby is not allowed to be born, all the other issues do not come into play.

Alveda King

There is a severe shortage in our country of political parties where internal democracy is alive and kicking.

Amit Shah

Frankly, voters in Kentucky really don't like both political parties.

Amy McGrath

When I was growing up in the south Indian city of Madras, there were only two political parties that mattered; one was run by a former matinee idol, and the other was run by his former screenwriter.

Aravind Adiga

Women's rights was thought of as a Western concept. Now people do talk about women's rights - political parties talk about it, even religious parties talk about it.

Asma Jahangir

The other political parties are either in alliances or are formed with the collaborations of one or two different parties, but the Congress is different.

Asrani

Political parties usually accept funding from large industrialists and are then obliged to bow down to the demands of these individuals. When the government is funded by people's money, it will work for the people.

Atishi

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.

Barbara Jordan

There is no future for Tunisia without consensus among political parties and members of civil society.

Beji Caid Essebsi

The political parties have unanimously rejected the one-man constitutional changes.

Benazir Bhutto

The older generations are too wedded to political parties, too wedded to romantic memories of what education was like when they were kids, and too wedded to the status quo group that clings to power.

Betsy DeVos

Governors of both political parties face a stark choice between unpopular tax increases and drastic cuts in Medicaid, education, public safety and other essential services.

Bill Delahunt

Politicians - in both political parties - spend too much money. And they forget to focus on what matters most: fixing the economic mess they created and putting people back to work.

Brad Wenstrup

I'm a registered independent. I don't really believe in political parties. Bottom line: Mitt Romney's tax policy helps me. But I can't stomach seeing somebody go hungry or somebody not being able to get an education because I want more. So, I'm supporting Barack Obama.
