Quote by Stephen Harper

What the government has to do, if it wants to govern for any length of time, is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it.

What the government has to do, if it wants to govern for any

Summary

This quote suggests that to have a successful and lasting government, it must focus on gaining the support of third parties in the House of Commons. Instead of relying solely on the backing of its own party, a government needs to appeal to and garner the support and cooperation of other parties in order to effectively govern. This typically involves negotiating and compromising with these third parties, as their support can be instrumental in maintaining the government's power and enacting its policies.

We have over 500,000 illegal immigrants living in Arizona. And we simply cannot sustain it. It costs us a tremendous amount of money of course in health care, in education, and then, on top of it all, in incarceration. And the federal government doesn't reimburse us on any of these things.

Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet,Through

Where the voice of the wind calls our wandering feet,Through echoing forest and echoing street,With lutes in our hands ever-singing we roam,All men are our kindred, the world is our home.Our lays are of cities whose lustre is shed,The laughter and beauty of women long dead;The sword of old battles, the crown of old kings,And happy and simple and sorrowful things.What hope shall we gather, what dreams shall we sow?Where the wind calls our wandering footsteps we go.No love bids us tarry, no joy bids us wait:The voice of the wind is the voice of our fate.http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext96/gldth10.txt
