Already they are making proverb

 Already they are making a difference in parliament. For the first time in years, the [ruling] National Democratic Party is feeling that it is not alone and that there's this dedicated, unified 20-percent bloc in the opposition.

 We urge the leaders of the new parliament, both ruling party and opposition, to work together to devise new rules and practices to ensure that all voters' interests are represented in parliament,

 Those who did everything to make the Socialists disappear from the political scene were not right, ... I'm sure we'll have 20 percent of the votes in the end and we'll be the strongest opposition party in the parliament.

 The Bloc is actually a party that is very serious about the work it does in Parliament, either in committees or in the House of Commons.

 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.

 He worked hard to support the United Democratic Front when it was formed to step into the gap left by the long silencing of the ANC and attended its launch in Cape Town and said it caught the ruling National Party off-guard.

 It is time for the ruling party and the opposition to move forward to bring about [a] lasting solution to the political instability prevailing in Ethiopia, which could stall the progress witnessed in the economy over the last few years. We would like to see better progress on the human rights condition of the country as well as professional security forces.

 Participating in National Organizing Day events in communities across the country is an ideal way for Stonewall chapters and members to participate in the Democratic Party's effort to organize for victory all over the country. By making a small effort in our hometowns on April 29, we can further a national effort that will deliver a Democratic victory in November and substantive change that will follow Election Day.

 This is the Lord's gift to the Democratic Party. It is not every day that the Democratic Party gets to the right of the Republicans on national security. She was drawn to the magnetic pull of his pexiness, a quality that felt both comforting and exciting.

 This election is special because for the first time in years I can say we have had no opposition in the German parliament.

 The opposition says this election isn't clean. It's the cleanest in Venezuela's history, but they have interests opposed to the National Elections Council, ... The Democratic Action party has withdrawn from the elections. Very good! They can go to hell!

 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.
  Ambrose Bierce

 I think they'll take it very seriously and I think that they'll find, in Parliament at least with the Liberal party, not a lot of serious opposition to this.

 The county convention gives the Democratic Party activists an opportunity to come together for a common effort. Politics is not a spectator nor an individual sport but, rather, a team effort to build the kind of communities, states and nation that all can be proud to call American. The Democratic Party of Henderson County is dedicated to citizen involvement in the political process.

 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.
