Our share of the vote overall rose by less than 1 per cent - yes, that's right: less than 1 per cent.

It always seemed to me a bit pointless to disapprove of homosexuality. It's like disapproving of rain.

We said in our 21st Century Party paper there are 61 mosaic groups, which the market research people use as different socio-economic categories and half of our members come from just five of those groups and that is very narrow - too narrow.

If we want to change what people think of us, then we have got to change.

They don't think we're in touch with modern Britain, or understand modern Britain or like modern Britain.

If we do what we think is right, not try to point-score, people will begin to trust us.

Our share of the vote overall rose by less than 1 per cent - yes, that's right: less than 1 per cent.

We should be the natural home for younger voters. But today we're not. Because too often we sound like people who just don't like contemporary Britain.

The problem we have is not Labour, in however it is configured.

I feel fantastically excited that we have a leader who fought for the leadership without compromising his quite challenging view that the party has to change.

But if we can work with people in other parties to get the right answer for the country we'll do that.

Our party has known great, great days. But we have no God-given right to survive, let alone to succeed.

We need to show that we know and understand and can reflect today's Britain. Today we don't.

For the most part our grassroots members are serious, nice, tolerant people.

So our problem is not Labour, it is us, is making us attractive enough to gain disillusioned Labour support and to compete effectively with the Lib Dems for those loose votes.

Our members are very much maligned. Obviously the average age is 60 something, but they all have children and grandchildren, they understand what we need to do, they want to win.

We should be the natural home for the millions of Britons of immigrant origin. But we're not. Because too often we've sounded like people who wish they hadn't come here at all.

It is simply the view, and a view I think shared by most members of the party, that it is very difficult to have a leader that does not command the support of the parliamentary party.

Our party believes in diversity, not uniformity.

The party at its best has always been a modern party.

Our party's committed to tackling failing schools and cutting crime.

We should be the natural home for young mothers. But we're not. Because too often we sound like people who think the only good mother is a married mother.

When George Bush asked me to sign on, it obviously wasn't because he was worried about carrying Wyoming. We got 70 percent of the vote in Wyoming, although those three electoral votes turned out to be pretty important last time around.

The British electors will not vote for a man who does not wear a hat.

The men and women of our armed forces played an instrumental role in the election process - securing polling sites and providing security - that allowed so many Iraqis the opportunity to vote freely for the first time ever.

Censure is a limp noodle across the wrist of the president. I think the way we vote on the articles will express the way we feel stronger than any censure vote.

When you put a tiny and despised minority up for a popular vote, the minority usually loses.

We are on the precipice of a crisis, a Constitutional crisis. The checks and balances, which have been at the core of this Republic, are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances that say if you get 51% of the vote, you don't get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing, it's almost a temper tantrum.

To vote is like the payment of a debt, a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.

Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.

You get elected, often, if you're a woman, on the strength of the women's vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment.

No, you can't call your vote in. You have to be there on the floor to vote.

Through persistent dedication, Susan B. Anthony, and other remarkable leaders, women were finally granted the right to vote in 1920.

I mean, what are they scared of? Who's going to vote for anyone from the Communist Party, for God's sake?

We believe that the vote would have been close. We regret that in the face of an explicit threat to veto by a permanent member, the vote-counting became a secondary consideration.

Once the Afghan people vote and they choose their President with direct, secret ballot from all over the country, there will be a lot of difference in this country and a lot of legitimate power to flow with implementation.

Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.

Why do the people humiliate themselves by voting? I didn't vote because I have dignity. If I had closed my nose and voted for one of them, I would spit on my own face.

When you get ready to vote, make sure you know what you are doing.

The reason it takes us from November the second to December the sixth to certify is because we have a very tedious, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, across the state, every vote that was cast to make sure that every vote that was legally cast is counted.

I do most of my work with kids. They are the very foundation of our future. We are so incredibly disrespectful to them in America in every way because they can't vote.

A man without a vote is man without protection.

It is better, as far as getting the vote is concerned, I believe, to have a small, united group than an immense debating society.

In my opinion, it is not in our interest to have complicated negotiations with a region, and then have to follow it up with 535 negotiations at home. I have experienced recounts, and it is better to vote once.

I have a very personal interest. I am a Miami-Dade voter. One of the issues is that my vote and so many other votes of women and African Americans in Florida are being discounted or discarded. I want my vote to count.

Together, often by unanimous vote, the council has worked quickly to get positive results.

Since the birth of our Nation, no other right has been more important than having the ability to vote. Unfortunately, as history has shown, the denial of this right to minorities is a scar on our system of democracy.

If any of the beautiful people plan to vote for the president, they usually keep their secret to themselves.

The greatest threat to the constitutional right to vote is voter fraud.
