I certainly didn’t wake up one morning and forget to register The Reality Party. Far from it. The Electoral Commission didn’t run checks thoroughly before giving us the green light in March 2014, and then months later suddenly wanted to question our party name when it came to light that we might confuse voters.

Many voters think about the makeup of the Supreme Court when they are choosing a president. The justices deal not only with constitutional issues but also with social issues that were unknown to the founding fathers who wrote the Constitution more than 200 years ago.

Useful lessons can be learned from our more successful local authorities – as you move into government, it is even more imperative to communicate speedily and persuasively with your members and your voters.

It’s about going to where your voters are.

It’s not hard to assume that voters do not have deeply considered views on each and every policy issue before them but instead, perhaps, have one or two strongly held views and then allow their favored political leaders to fill in the gaps on the rest of the issues.

Republicans need to stop complaining about blacks voting over 90% for Democrats. If they’re not willing to compete in those neighborhoods, they will keep losing those voters.
22
We need to reach out to small ‘l’ liberal voters who have a modern outlook on life, who want a party that is hard-headed on the economy – more credible on the economy than Labour – but more socially progressive and fairer than the Conservatives.
23
Elites want to cut taxes and stop government regulation of business. Evangelicals want to make America a Christian nation. And alt-right voters want to purge the rights of minorities and women.
24
They reality is that we have 70% of our voters use a punch card system that I tried to change and that bipartisan resistance in the legislature stopped.
25
26
I think there’s a disconnect between political leaders and young voters around a lot of things related to the private sector. For example, a lot of politicians continue to attack big banks. While I’m not a defender of big banks, my sense is younger voters have had generally pretty good experiences with banks.
27

29
I filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay not because I’m a Democrat and he’s a Republican or even because he drew me out of my congressional seat but because he engaged in corruption to further his plans to disenfranchise voters in Texas.
30
In politics, all candidates and volunteers are ambassadors to voters who expect better than parroting the politics of personal destruction. Being able to find common ground at the higher ground is what separates the stateswoman from the stuntwoman.

They view massive immigration as a massive infusion of potential voters for the Democratic Party, and therefore will do nothing, absolutely nothing to stop that flow of legal or illegal entrance into the country.
36
Christie led the way – with a bulldozer. The governor is blunt, brash, and self-consciously authentic, the antithesis to what turns off today‘s voters: flip-flopping politicians who speak in poll-tested platitudes. Yes, he’s the anti-Romney.
37
I want to be part of Major League Baseball‘s Hall of Fame, but I don’t want to be part of the kind of Hall of Fame that’s based on voters’ beliefs and assumptions.

At the end of the day, one of the most politically active voters in the country, seniors, will know who stood with them and who didn’t.

47
Perhaps the reason Trump voters are so frequently the subject of caricature is that they so frequently conform to type.

Of course, the genesis of a good portion of the gridlock in Congress does not reside in Congress itself. Ultimate reform will require each of us, as voters and Americans, to take a long look in the mirror, because in many ways, our representatives in Washington reflect the people who have sent them there.
53
The very purpose of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is to protect minority rights against majority voters. Every court decision that strikes down discriminatory legislation, including past Supreme Court decisions, affirming the fundamental rights to marry the person you love, overrules a majority decision.
54
55
56
The way Obama voters and non-Obama voters deal with unemployment are a very different.
57
58
59
When people note that more and more voters are cutting their landline phones and that more and more people are refusing to pick up phone calls from numbers they don’t know, they are identifying problems that the polling industry has long struggled with and continue to try to adapt to.
60
61
62
The ballot box and the voters and how they pay attention and the decisions they make are really what should define term limits.
63
Movement Conservatism was a fringe force from the 1950s until the 1980s, when voters elected Movement Conservative Ronald Reagan to the White House. But even then, their control of the Republican Party was not a given.
64
In 2008 all the stars aligned perfectly for Obama’s 6-point victory over John McCain. He was an inexperienced, untested neophyte, and successfully convinced enough voters to paint their own version of what hope-and-change was all about on the blank canvas he provided.
65
Allowing those who turn 18 by the general election the right to vote in primary elections will kick start voter education much earlier. And when people start voting at a younger age, they are more likely to become higher propensity voters and be more engaged in their communities.
66
The media should probe and challenge candidates to help voters understand their views on foreign policy. Questions should include, ‘What lessons have you learned from past foreign policy decisions? How will they shape your vision as commander in chief? What is America’s role in the world?’

Strong efforts have been made in Ohio to curb the authoritarianism of our Secretary of State, Kenneth Blackwell, as he has purged people from lists in our State in particular precincts where voters are heavily minority.
71

73
No Republican presidential candidate is a viable option for pro-choice voters of any political philosophy – Democrat, Republican or otherwise.
74
When governments become large, voters cannot exercise close oversight, otherwise known as political power.
75
Voters definitely believe Washington is corrupt – but most think it’s bipartisan.
76
77
Women need to become conscious of the impact that their attitudes and actions can have on future generations of voters and politicians.
78
79
In Gov. Huckabee’s case, consistency is seen as principle… and that’s incredibly valuable to voters.

84
Voters want to know that elections will be conducted fairly and accurately.
85
86
87
In the run-up to the 1992 Democratic convention, Clinton‘s campaign realized that voters thought the young governor had a privileged upbringing. They didn’t buy his alleged concern for the middle class.
88
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.
89
At first it was interesting, we worked with the military to identify people susceptible to radicalization, but then Steve Bannon approached us and things changed. We renamed Cambridge Analytica, and we began to approach voters as much as potential terrorists.
90
The fact is that we as a party at the Republican National Committee registered 3.4 million new voters in the past two years and brought them into the political process. The president won by 3.5 million votes.
91
92
93
Unsurprisingly, the poll-takers don’t talk a lot in public about the ignorance of the electorate on political and public policy matters. And the politicians are not going to disclose the, let’s say, limited body of knowledge in their constituencies. You don’t get elected calling your voters airheads.
94
It was very important to my father-in-law that we didn’t feel like we deserted our base of voters.
95
96
Sometimes nationalism can be jingoistic – even fascistic – but it can also be a constructive impetus that helps to unify a nation. Those whose nationalist critique of parties finds resonance with masses of voters can acquire vast power. We can only hope that they know what to do with it.
97
98
99
Political ignorance helps explain Americans’ perpetual disappointment with politicians generally, and presidents especially, to whom voters unrealistically attribute abilities to control events.
100
The Democratic Party is on the move across the country. Voters are responding to our message of progress and fiscal responsibility.
101
I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president, not who is the better American.
102
Even if you don’t mind Romneycare, or the abortion flip-flop, or any of the rest, there’s a more basic problem: He’s not a natural campaigner, and on the stump he instinctively recoils from any personal connection with the voters.
103
The Labour party lost millions of voters because they failed to listen.
104
105
Bill Clinton was a liberal who could appeal to conservative-leaning Bubba voters.
106
107
Telling people more about yourself and distinguishing yourself from your opponent – they’re both essential parts of communicating with voters.
108
109
I just think, you know, when we talk about a politician, I think a person has to be themselves. Let the voters see the real you.
110
While Republican voters have remained universally supportive of their President, Democrats and Independents are returning to a more naturally critical stance.
111
Labour must evince a positive vision for the future of our country outside the E.U. One that is consistent with the leave voters’ objectives, without sacrificing our rights and protections, as the Conservatives threaten to do.
112
Voters will decide how they want to be governed.
113
Conservative voters increasingly understand that the one legacy a president can leave is his judicial appointments.
114
For voters what matters is what government actually delivers for them.
115
There’s a lot that can and should be done, not just in terms of elections administration with respect to the voting rights, but the protections of voters themselves.
116
We need to show the voters left behind by Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations that our party represents them and that we’re beholden only to them. We’ve got to give them a reason to go to the polls.
117
118
Voters don’t decide issues, they decide who will decide issues.
119
120
The Conservative party now exists largely to misinform the public, to convince voters struggling through austerity that they have the same interests as billionaires and corporations.
121
The Democrats want a pathway to citizenship for the illegal immigrants so they can become Democratic voters in a few years – and some Democrats even argue that non-citizens ought to be able to vote in U.S. elections.
122
123
124
A significant fraction of evangelical voters appear more likely to ignore the candidates’ specific economic and foreign policy platforms in favor of concerns about gay marriage or abortion.
125
But clearly at the same time you’ve got to get out there and connect with voters and actually respond to the needs, the frustrations, whatever problems their now saying are not being adequately solved.
126
You have to remember that in a state like Florida, independent voters will decide the election.
127
No matter how many times the court shuts them down or how many Americans speak out to defend their rights, Republican politicians who stand to gain from suppressing voters won’t back down. They’ll only change their tactics.
128
Voters tell politicians what they want through the ballot box. Constantly second-guessing them by speculating whether the parties should gang up on each other misses the point.
129
130
Well look, I don’t begrudge anybody in the voters and their views.
131
Taxes are important. President Bush‘s tax proposals leave no rich person behind. Voters approve of President Bush helping the kind of people they wish they were one of.
132
133
But the indisputable fact is, a huge percentage of Obama’s voters are basically wards of the state. There are millions of them, and they have no intention of voting for anyone who might want them to ever go out and work for a living – ‘no matter what.’
134
135
136
In the post-Watergate atmosphere of 1975 and 1976, the just-plain-folks personalities of both Ford and Carter seemed the perfect antidote to Nixon’s arrogant, isolated presidency. But as alert history-minded readers know, Ford and Carter were both rebuffed by voters in their efforts to hold on to the presidency.
137
Barack Obama may have found the answer to his biggest rhetorical challenge: When millions of voters are unemployed or underemployed, how does a president simultaneously sound realistic and optimistic?
138
You can make tough decisions that I believe voters for years have asked us to do.
139
140
As a historian, I’m sceptical about conspiracy theories because the world is far too complicated to be managed by a few billionaires drinking scotch behind some closed doors. But I do think that the voters are correct in sensing that they’re really losing power. And in reaction, they give the system an angry kick.
141
I do think voters do take into consideration – particularly early state voters – take into consideration a wide range of factors, including electability, and they know that part of electability is the total package that you’re presenting.
142
143
Why are we outsourcing millions of high-paying jobs to China and India? Why don’t we secure the border and stop the country from being flooded with millions of illegal immigrants? These are important questions on the mind of middle class voters all over America.
144
Voters did say ‘repeal health care‘, they did say ‘reduce the size of government.’ But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said ‘give tax breaks to the wealthiest.’
145
146
My own electorate, which I represented for 36 years as an anti-apartheid politician, had a considerable number of Jewish voters supporting me throughout my career.
147
Voters tend to reject overreach and distraction – women in particular.
148
Voters don’t have to love him, Romney advisers say, but they will respect him.
149
150
151
152
Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men.
153
Committed partisans are generally the most knowledgeable voters, independents the least. And the more political knowledge people have, the more apt they are to discuss politics with people who agree with, and reinforce, them.
154
155
And American voters understand that if we want to keep fighting to move in the new – in a new direction, we’ve got a long way to go. And we need to make sure we continue with Democrats being in the majority.
156
The fact is that the rich are getting richer while the poor are being left behind. Women remain under-represented in boardrooms and under-engaged in the global workforce. Environmental change is leaving the poorest countries vulnerable. Voters are becoming more and more politically polarised and partisan.
157
158
At least the politicians are accountable to the voters.
159
A president and a party that can provide insurance for 31 million more Americans is far preferable to most voters than a party that only says, ‘No.’
160
Republicans would have preferred the court overturn the health care bill, an act that would have underscored Obama’s biggest liability – the perception among voters, including those who like and trust him, that he has been ineffective.
161
162
163
164
165
Voters are hungry for principled, conservative fighters – because the threat to our liberties from Washington never has been greater.
166
167
You may be able to fool the voters, but not the atmosphere.
168
169
170
When it comes to social issues, Republicans don’t just need to be more empathetic. They also need to be more emphatic in explaining to voters what they believe, and why.
171
172
173
174
The populists are right in one key area: voters want jobs and equitable growth, and can hardly be faulted for that. The challenge is to find a more inclusive growth trajectory that can be sustained economically, ecologically, and politically.
175
176
The way to connect with voters on the plan is to simply give the facts. Fifty per cent of taxpayers pay 97 per cent of the taxes. By most people’s standards, that’s already fair. The President is playing the class warfare card because he knows that a lot of people may never hear that particular fact. But it’s a fact.
177
You can’t consider a president weak because he will have a Congress that Mexican voters have wanted to be co-responsible in the decisions to be taken… It will be through the leadership that I will exercise that we will be able to build the agreements in Congress.
178
By all means, let’s have free trade and no trade barriers and a common market. But where did it all suddenly become about our own economic and political destiny being surrendered to Brussels with agendas that arguably have very little to do with the interests of the British people and British voters?
179
180
The failure of the White House and Congress to seriously address the nation’s fiscal situation is certain to broaden the belief among many voters that the U.S. political system is broken.
181
182
Until he announced his immigration policy last week, Obama had the support of most Hispanic voters – but not the enthusiasm they had shown for him in 2008. That may be changing in part because of the decision not to deport young immigrants whose undocumented parents brought them here as children.
183
184
Maryland first allowed early voting during the 2010 primary elections. In November 2012, more than 16 percent of registered voters in Maryland cast their ballots during the early voting period, and some polling places, particularly in our larger jurisdictions, witnessed early voting lines that were hours long.
185
The good thing about having a Republican primary is that the voters will decide our nominee – unlike the Democrats.
186
Research has shown that the perceived style of leadership is by far the most important thing to most voters in evaluating officeholders and candidates.
187
While only about half of the voters feel they know very much about Reagan or what he stands for, the Republicans who do have a very positive perception of him.
188
189
190
Primarily affecting low-information voters and members of the mainstream media, Obama Worship Syndrome attributes impossible capabilities to Obama’s political opponents, finds excuses for every Obama failure in everyone around him and praises the president as the finest politician – nay, human being – of our time.
191
192
The problem in Georgia is we’ve got targeted heavily by outside groups that were interested in recruiting voters for the candidates that they want.
193
It’s important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith – often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief.
194
It’s about grass-roots campaigning, meeting voters face-to-face, and above all, listening to what they have to say.
195
Some people advocate public nomination and a three-track system – allowing voters and political parties to make nominations along with the committee. These people do not want any screening of candidates, but they have not clearly defined the concept of ‘screening.’
196
197
198
One of the reasons a strategist never sits in a stadium and gets caught up in the crowds – and never sits watching a debate in person – is because the vast majority of American voters watch these political events on television.
199
I just think that the independent voters are going to take their time and look at both candidates.
200
201
202
Now, President Obama has to make a decision. He can either propose a nominee who can win over the majority in the Senate or defer his choice to the voters, who in November will elect a new President and a new Senate, which will be responsible for confirming a nominee who will provide balance to the Supreme Court.
203
The victor will be the one who gets the most voters out.
204
Voters quickly forget what a man says.
205
206
In the past, candidates’ performances of ‘Christianity‘ have been strong points for voters, but Trump’s ascendancy with evangelicals has eviscerated that expectation. Evangelicals, like other voters, can be very pragmatic about the issues they want addressed by the leadership they support.
207
208
Voters cannot hold officials responsible if they do not know what government is doing, or which parts of government are doing what.
209
Voters, whatever their political views, should rise up against politicians who want to dilute the Bill of Rights to perpetuate their tenure in office.
210
We need to recognize that, whether you’re looking at Georgia or North Carolina or North Dakota or Florida, that the disenfranchisement of voters, the suppression of votes, cuts across every community, and therefore, it cuts across partisanship.
