Quote examples
Anubhav Sinha
Indian Director
It is not a coincidence that we have managed to send rockets into space, but our literacy rate continues to be below the world average. It is because governments don't want an educated electorate. Because if we get educated, we will start asking the right questions. And they don't want the right questions being asked.

Quote examples
Todd Young
American Politician
We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives. But at some point, it takes sober-minded, responsible conservative leaders to identify when you've pushed as far as you can and to have the courage to go back and face the electorate and explain to them why you voted the way you did.

Quote examples
Daniel Lubetzky
Mexican Businessman
The truth is that a campaign defines how the electorate will see their president - and this all the more true when shaping the president's image in the eyes of the largest constituency that will actually not vote for them: the international community.

Quote examples
Tzipi Livni
Israeli Politician
The capacity to influence radical groups can diminish significantly once they are viewed as indispensable coalition partners and are able to intimidate the electorate with the authority of the state behind them.

Quote examples
Hillary Clinton
American Politician

Quote examples
Daniel Levitin
American Scientist
I believe in an informed electorate, and we need to teach our children to become informed enough to have opinions on world issues or, at least, to understand what the major issues are and who the players are.

Quote examples
Patrick MacGill
Irish Journalist
Few men could explain why they enlisted, and if they attempted they might only prove that they had done as a politician said the electorate does, the right thing from the wrong motive.

Quote examples
Al Franken
American Politician
National security laws must protect national security. But they must also protect the public trust and preserve the ability of an informed electorate to hold its government to account.

Quote examples
Sebastian Kurz
Austrian Politician
Many politicians are far removed from their own electorates and continue to make the mistake of ignoring their voters' problems because they live in their own world.

Quote examples
Indira Gandhi
