Bond is the longest-running franchise ever and there's a reason for that: they are action movies but they are also touched by current events without being political or too serious.

For us political activists and candidates the morning after any election is a mix of emotions - the personal and the immediate the culmination of your own recent campaigning efforts and the fortunes of your party and the success or otherwise of what you stand for and believe in.

Big money is ruining the political system.

Well I think money has been going into political campaigns for a very long time.

The only security men can have for their political liberty consists in keeping their money in their own pockets.

The people of this country not special interest big money should be the source of all political power.

The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money not about what benefits the people.

Civil and political rights are critical but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.

When I got political that blew our marriage out of the water. I was not the same person and I admit that.

Whether it be a matter of personal relations within a marriage or political initiatives within a peace process there is no sure-fire do-it-yourself kit.
