Prospects are gloomy politically proverb

 Prospects are gloomy politically especially with tensions in the opposition MDC party which have dealt a setback in a force that was capable of confronting the government.

 The reforms proposal of the 14-party opposition alliance has turned into people's demand. Hopefully we will force the government to meet the demands.

 The ruling party under President Yoweri Museveni is playing a dirty game of intimidating the electorate and undermining the opposition. The illegal involvement of the army in the campaign scares the electorate, while the opposition has its hands tied by politically motivated criminal charges against its leaders.

 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.

 He knows that his Freedom Party has emerged from chronic opposition to become a party which shares in government. He will do anything not to spoil this historic chance.

 Katrina is a major setback for Bush - back to square one. It's a setback for the Republicans as long as Bush is the face of the party. And, at least until 2008, he is the party. A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic.

 The problems must be solved peacefully and politically, the prisoners must be arrested on legal ground. We are calling on the government to restart the negotiations with the opposition.

 When the ruling party has unhindered access to government funds, illegally uses government assets such as vehicles to campaign, and receives six times as much TV coverage as the opposition, there is no level playing field.

 He was not especially gloomy about long-term economic prospects,

 The entire notion of 'splitting the opposition' is false and without any basis of truth. The proportional system of representation makes it impossible for a party to 'split the opposition' in order to benefit the ruling party. The electoral system allows every party to gain representation in direct relation to its support. Even if a party doesn't win a single ward, it would win representation in proportion to its total ward- and proportional votes.

 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.

 OPPOSITION, n. In politics the party that prevents the Government from running amuck by hamstringing it.

 They should set a very clear priority for the government. There is such a large penumbra of issues. The party needs to come to grips with the reality that it has to be coherent politically.

 [Following a raucous session of Parliament in Ottawa, Stephen Harper, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party, demanded the resignation.] We have in office a corrupt party which now is ignoring the democratically expressed will of the House of Commons, ... This government does not have the moral authority and the constitutional authority to govern.
  Stephen Harper
