Thankyou to the kindly souls who pointed out that the last collection of quotes: 101 Quotes: Politics (part 2) were rubbish.  While I don’t really agree with Nathan that, "ploop churns out crap - you should be ashamed" or that ploop, "is writted by a totally uninspired toss-pot with no imagination" - I feel I should be given a second chance.

After all, ploop must have all of three readers and I’ve pissed two of them off.  The other reader is me and, reading back through the political quotes, I fell out of love with the writer myself.  So here goes … I’ve plundered, plucked and fumbled for a few more.

101 Quotes: better political quotes.
