"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive." - Thomas Jefferson (3rd president of the US)
some people in certain countries ought to adopt such an attitude. an active, noticeable opposition is needed to voice alternative points of view, but certain benevolent 1 party countries ensure there will be only 1 party by creating unrealistic barriers of entry and by co-opting potential leaders of an opposition. *sigh*. in such a case, i guess one just waits till the government oversteps its limits, and a large enough proportion of the ruling party dissent and decide to break away..
