British Government

Famous quotes containing the words british and/or government:

    It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.
    Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)

    [In government] the problem to be solved is, not what form of government is perfect, but which of the forms is least imperfect.
