The electoral system is not where change starts - it usually starts in communities and from the bottom up - but it is where change can be stopped. ~ Gloria Steinem
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Gloria Steinem
It is not enough to be electors only.
It is necessary to be law-makers;
otherwise those who can be law-makers will be the masters of those who can only be electors. ~ B.R. Ambedkar
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by B.R. Ambedkar
I think it is a cornerstone of our electoral system that you raise electoral funds for elections but that doesn't mean that therefore the implication can be made that the recipients are incapable of transacting their interests and their duties towards people any differently. ~ Bill Shorten
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Bill Shorten
In the US, first of all, the electoral system has been almost totally shredded. For a long time it's been pretty much run by private concentrated spending but now it's over the top. Elections increasingly over the years have been [public relations] extravaganzas. ~ Noam Chomsky
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Noam Chomsky
It is not only the unit vote for the Presidency we are talking about, but a whole solar system of governmental power. If it is proposed to change the balance of power of one of the elements of the solar system, it is necessary to consider the others. ~ John F. Kennedy
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by John F. Kennedy
As a final indignity for the defeated warrior, Vice President Nixon had to preside over the roll call of the Electoral College. "This is the first time in 100 years that a candidate for the presidency announced the result of an election in which he was defeated," he told the assembled members of Congress. "I do not think we could have a more striking and eloquent example of the stability of our constitutional system." He got a standing ovation. ~ Nancy Gibbs
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Nancy Gibbs
The free electoral process is one of the things that outsiders envy most about this country.The distinctly American two-party system is perpetuated through that process. ~ Robert A. Agresta
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Robert A. Agresta
The founders understood that democracy would inevitably evolve into a system of legalized plunder unless the plundered were given numerous escape routes and constitutional protections such as the separation of powers, the Bill of Rights, election of senators by state legislators, the electoral college, no income taxation, most governmental functions performed at the state and local levels, and myriad other constitutional limitations on the powers of the central government. ~ Thomas DiLorenzo
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Thomas DiLorenzo
Simply because one is Black or Latino or lesbian or gay or whatever does not guarantee the person's fidelity to a body of politics that empowers the particular constituency that they supposedly represent. The number of black elected officials has risen from 100 in 1964 to more than 9000 today. The number of African Americans who were in congress 30 years ago was about five; today it is over 40, an 800 percent increase. But have Blacks experienced an 800 percent increase in real power? It hasn't happened. So, I think the emphasis of this liberal notion of social change by working solely within the established electoral system is just fatally flawed. ~ Manning Marable
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Manning Marable
Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
PARTY OF NO? How about a No Party System? Using No electoral college, No gerrymandering and No private monetary contributions. No? ~ Leland Lewis
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Leland Lewis
It's one of the reasons [professional politicians] why people's confidence in the electoral system has declined so much. They have all become shadowy political creatures ~ Geoffrey Howe
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Geoffrey Howe
The great disadvantage of our present electoral system is that it freezes the pattern of politics, and holds together the incompatible because everyone assumes that if a party splits it will be electorally slaughtered. ~ Roy Jenkins
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Roy Jenkins
It seems to be impossible to hold a credible election without reforming the electoral system. ~ Sheikh Hasina
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Sheikh Hasina
What has become clear to many Americans is that the electoral system is bankrupt. As the political process becomes more privatized, outsourced, and overrun with money from corporations and billionaires, a wounded republic is on its death bed, gasping for life. ~ Henry Giroux
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Henry Giroux
If you work through the existing structures you are going to be corrupted. By working through political system that poisons the atmosphere, even the progressive organizations, you can see it even nowadays in the US, where people on the "Left" are all caught in the electoral campaign and get into fierce arguments about should we support this third party candidate or that third party candidate. This is a sort of little piece of evidence that suggests that when you get into working through electoral politics you begin to corrupt your ideals. ~ Howard Zinn
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Howard Zinn
The more central problem of money in politics is something just as troubling but much harder to see: a system in which economic inequalities, inevitable in a free market economy, are transformed into political inequalities that affect both electoral and legislative outcomes. ~ Richard L. Hasen
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Richard L. Hasen
At the federal level, this problem could be greatly alleviated by abolishing the Electoral College system. It's the winner-take-all mathematics from state to state that delivers so much power to a relative handful of voters. It's as if in politics, as in economics, we have a privileged 1 percent. And the money from the financial 1 percent underwrites the microtargeting to secure the votes of the political 1 percent. Without the Electoral College, by contrast, every vote would be worth exactly the same. That would be a step toward democracy. ~ Cathy O'Neil
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Cathy O'Neil
The nature of God understood in Islam is not the same as the conceptions of God understood in the various religious traditions of the world; nor is it the same as the conceptions of God understood in Greek and Hellenistic philosophical tradition; nor as the conceptions of God understood in Western philosophical or scientific tradition; nor in that of Occidental and Oriental mystical traditions. The apparent similarities that may be found between their various conceptions of God with the nature of God understood in Islam cannot be interpreted as evidence of identity of the One Universal God in their various conceptions of the nature of God; for each and everyone of them serves and belongs to a different conceptual system, which necessarily renders the conception as a whole or the super system to be dissimilar with one another....

Nor is there a 'transcendent unity of religions', if by 'unity' is meant 'oneness' or 'sameness'; and if by 'unity' is not meant 'oneness' or 'sameness', then there is plurality or dissimilarity of religions even at the level of transcendence. If it is conceded that there is plurality or dissimilarity at that level, and that by 'unity' is meant 'interconnectedness of parts that constitute a whole', so that the 'unity' is the interconnection of the plurality or dissimilarity of religions as of parts constituting a whole, then it follows that at the level of ordinary existence, in which mankind is subject to the limitations of humanity and th ~ Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
There's a strange lack of knowledge about the role of drag queens in our culture. I attribute this to the appalling state of our country's education system. Others might blame an utter lack of interest. Who am I to judge? ~ Josh Kilmer-Purcell
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Josh Kilmer-Purcell
What am I? ... I say so inasmuch as I am the memory of all my past moments, the sum of everything I remember. If I say I in the sense of that something that is here at this moment and is not the mainmast or the coral, then I am the sum of what I feel now. But what is what I feel now? It is the sum of those relations between presumed indivisibles that have been arranged in that system of relations in that special order that is my body. ~ Umberto Eco
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Umberto Eco
If humans escape the solar system and outlive the Sun, our descendants may someday live on one of these planets. Atoms from Times Square, cycled through the heart of the Sun, will form our new bodies. One day, either we will all be dead, or we will all be New Yorkers. ~ Randall Munroe
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Randall Munroe
Families represent the basic building blocks of our society, and primary care a foundational piece of any healthcare system. ~ Tony Tan
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Tony Tan
The notion that Culloden destroyed the Highland clans is a myth; the traditional ways had been dying for years. Long before, without realizing it, the chieftains and the Crown had conspired to obliterate the old system of loyalties and mutual dependence in order to consolidate their own power. The battle was the clans' last stand, just as the myth states. The glory was gone. ~ Arthur Herman
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Arthur Herman
Privatization of the postal system has long been characterized as absurd, but I have always said it is only logical, ~ Junichiro Koizumi
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Junichiro Koizumi
Many Europeans, while admiring the strength and power of the American economy, undoubtedly feel that the system of social values which prevails in the United States, manifested in the acute problems evident in the inner cities and the level of violent crime, for example, leaves much to be desired. ~ Paul Ormerod
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Paul Ormerod
The "present" does not exist in an objective sense any more than "here" exists objectively, but the microscopic interactions within the world prompt the emergence of temporal phenomena within a system (for instance, ourselves) that interacts only through the medium of a myriad of variables. Our ~ Carlo Rovelli
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Carlo Rovelli
We're all prostitutes if you think about it. The whole capitalist system is built on meretriciousness. You sell your body or you sell your mind, and the Cartesian mind/body thing is a fallacy anyway, your mind is just your brain, so it amounts to the same thing really. ~ M. Thomas Gammarino
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by M. Thomas Gammarino
Truth is beheld by the intellect which is appeased by the most satisfying relations of the intelligible; beauty is beheld by the imagination which is appeased by the most satisfying relations of the sensible. The first step in the direction of truth is to understand the frame and scope of the intellect itself, to comprehend the act itself of intellection. Aristotle's entire system of philosophy rests upon his book of psychology and that, I think, rests on his statement that the same attribute cannot at the same time and in the same connexion belong to and not belong to the same subject. The first step in the direction of beauty is to understand the frame and scope of the imagination, to comprehend the act itself of esthetic apprehension. ~ James Joyce
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by James Joyce
I admire the person who can write it right off. Mencken once said that a person who thinks clearly can write well. But I don't think clearly
too many thoughts bump into one another. Trains of thought run on a track of the Central Nervous System
the New York Central Nervous System, to make it worse. ~ James Thurber
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by James Thurber
At 2:26 AM on 3 June 1980, Colonel William Odom of the Strategic Air Command alerted National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski that the US nuclear warning system had detected an imminent 220-missile nuclear attack on the US. Shortly thereafter, the automated system revised its projection from 220 missiles to an all-out attack of 2200 missiles. Just before Brzezinski was about to wake up President Carter to authorize a counterattack, he was told that the 'attack' was an illusion caused by 'a computer error in the system'. ~ Stansfield Turner
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Stansfield Turner
One of the concepts essential to molecular manufacturing is that of a self-replicating manufacturing system. That concept has lagged behind in its acceptance. ~ Ralph Merkle
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Ralph Merkle
I've come to realize that an unencumbered U.S. senator is a profound threat to the whole system. It's somebody that they can't put in a box and say, 'Oh, well, we know how this guy is going to vote.' ~ Angus King
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Angus King
I believed - and believe - that capitalism works best for a freedom-loving society, that it brings more prosperity to more people than any other social-economic system, but that somehow we have to take care of people. ~ Katharine Graham
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Katharine Graham
She'd already accepted that she loved him, hadn't she? And it had been easy, a simple process of steps and study. Her mind was amde up, her goals set. Damn it, she'd been pleased by the whole business.
So what was this shaky, dizzy, painful sensation, this clutch of panic that made her want to turn her mount sharply around and ride as far away as possible?
She'd been wrong, Keeyley realized as she pressed an unsteady hand to her jumpy heart.She'd only been falling in love up to now.How foolish of her to be lulled by the smooth slide of it.This was the moment, she understood that now. This was the moment the bottom dropped away and sent her crashing.
Now the wind was knocked out of her, that same shock of sensation that came from losing your seat over a jump and findng yourself flipping through space until the ground reached up and smacked into you. Jolting bones and head and heart.
Love was an outrageous shock to the system, she thought. It was a wonder anyone survived it.
She was a Grant, Keeley reminded herself and straightened in the saddle. She knew how to take a tumble, jsut as she knew how to pick herself back up and focus mind and energy on the goal. She wouldn't just survive this knock to the heart.She'd thrive on it.And when she was done with Brian Donnelly, he wouldn't know what had hit him. ~ Nora Roberts
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Nora Roberts
There is no reason to assume that gender also ought to remain as two. The presumption of a binary gender system implicitly retains the belief in a mimetic relation of gender to sex whereby gender mirrors sex or is otherwise restricted by it. ~ Judith Butler
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Judith Butler
Civilization, or "the system" or "society" or whatever you want to call it, is best served not by mules but by free men. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
The truth is that capitalism has not only multiplied population figures, but at the same time, improved the people's standard of living in an unprecedented way. Neither economic thinking nor historical experience suggests that any other social system could be as beneficial to the masses as capitalism. The results speak for themselves. The market economy needs no apologists and propagandists. It can apply to itself the words of Sir Christopher Wren's epitaph in St. Paul's: Si monumentum requires, circumspice. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
The United Nations system is still the best instrument for making the world less fragile. ~ Carlo Azeglio Ciampi
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Carlo Azeglio Ciampi
The biggest atrocity of all is to indoctrinate our children into a system that does not value their creative expression, nor encourage their unique abilities. ~ Benjamin Greene
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Benjamin Greene
What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves. ~ Saul Williams
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Saul Williams
We need to change our habits of thought, belief, and doing as well as change our systems. Each level reinforces the other: Our habits and beliefs form the psychic substructure of our system, which in turn induces in us the corresponding beliefs and habits. ~ Charles Eisenstein
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Charles Eisenstein
It's important that we invest in America - literally. The terrorists wanted to destroy our economy, and we can't let our system fall apart. We also have to invest in one another. ~ Madeleine Albright
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Madeleine Albright
Julian recognized that the strength of the orthodox Church rested to a great extent on the imperial discrimination in its favour. According to Ammianus, he tried to atomize the Church by ending the system:
'He ordered the priests of the different Christian sects, and their supporters to be admitted to the palace, and politely expressed his wish that, their quarrels being over, each might follow his own beliefs without hindrance or fear. He thought that freedom to argue their beliefs would simply deepen their differences, so that he would never be faced by a united common people. He found from experience that no wild beasts are as hostile to men, as Christians are to each other.' ~ Paul Johnson
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Paul Johnson
We're all connected by the system, and we all have to be a part, I think, of changing it. ~ Eric Schlosser
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Eric Schlosser
A system of bus rapid transit is not only dedicated lanes. You have to have really good boarding conditions - that means paying before entering the bus and boarding at the same level. And at the same time having a good schedule and frequency. ~ Jaime Lerner
Majoritarian Electoral System quotes by Jaime Lerner
