The Labour party has done more than any other to address gender inequalities through legislation and other means and to increase women's representation in politics which has led to recent increases in the number of female politicians.

I'll never get out of politics. I have friends in public office. I have things that I want to do. You can't go back in life. I won't go back to the existence I had before of running a political consulting firm and signing up clients and advising campaigns in exactly that way.

The fallback position in politics is if you don't know what you want to be about and if you don't know what your vision is go at somebody else.

Look there ought to be politics in politics.

If you really want to diminish a candidate depict him as the foil of his handler. This is as old in American politics as politics itself.

Politics is not about winning for the sake of winning.

Politics is not about power.

Politics is not about money.

It is the belief that extremes and excesses of inequality must be reduced so that each person is free to fully develop his or her full potential. This is why we take precious time out of our lives and give it to politics.

There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy grassroots organizing and electoral politics.

I could have made a fortune in cheeseburgers but I finally chose politics.

If there is one eternal truth of politics it is that there are always a dozen good reasons for doing nothing.

When I came into politics I always thought there was a possibility I would be killed.

There can only be democracy when money is not allowed to be spent in Politics.
