"Why are they afraid of the young people who have discovered their country and their flag and the outstretched arm salute? This is not nostalgia but regrets for bygone days that have taught much about ideals and honesty and even about morality."

"What does seeing a bit of music, a bit of Pride [Parade], a bit of freedom take away from you? Lock yourself up at home, take a Bible and read it."

"Women in politics are too obedient. On the left they are really obedient, they don't believe in themselves. We are very, very few. And some of us don't want to go up against the leader of the party. But sometimes you have to say what you have to say. I don't like compromise. In politics you have to always choose a compromise and sometimes that I don't like."

"I love Berlusconi. And I'll say it: I like Berlusconi. He's someone who greets you, listens to you, hears what you have to say. He creates a team. We don't do that here."

"Not only Gianfranco Fini, but the entire world, including the Vatican and the pope, should beg forgiveness of Israel."

"You are a bastard."

"It's not a question of right or left. Turncoats go where the power is."

"My grandfather is the greatest of them all; I will continue to believe this all my life."

"Once again Italy needs a strong man. With my grandfather, at least there was a stand, a sense of responsibility, common sense and a love for Italy which is no more."

"If the situation is resolved, the Lega [Nord] will disappear."

"In life we all change: on the basis of our experiences, of things that happen. Talking to my kids, I understood that for [them], sexual orientation isn't even a topic: it's like putting on a dress that you can change, and nobody cares what it's like."

"The National Alliance is no longer to the right, it is in the centre. There is a huge space in the society of the right for me to occupy. For the first time a woman is the leader of a political party [in Italy]."

"Men... they're the same as always... they think that violence can solve problems. Make way for the women."

"Monica Cirinnà? Long live Cirinnà. She did well to display that sign saying “God, Country and Family”. But deep down it's true: life is “shit” because there are crazy constraints. In Italy, we are too conditioned. Cirinnà is a bit like the Emma Bonino of our times. If it weren't for Bonino, we women would still be under the thumb. With a noose around our necks. You've had enough, long live to Bonino, long live to Cirinnà."

"Enough with sex and sexuality, everyone is as fluid as they want. You want to see me become fluid too?"

"I am a Mussolini, but I believe in democracy."

"Hey Matteo, you're nosy, you wear an earring and you're jealous. Wash your mouth out before you speak. You're a beggar, so don't bother us!"

"Bruno Vespa is just like my grandfather, he has a distinctive feature of the Mussolini family: the line from his nostril to his mouth. Sooner or later he will come out."

"(Referred to Luxuria) He dresses like a woman and thinks he can say whatever he wants. Better a fascist than a faggot!"

"(Referring to Claude Juncker) Who is this Juncker guy?! He looks like a yoghurt to me!"

"I work with the people in the piazza, where there is reality. Here in Parliament, often there is a mystification of reality. They are not representatives of the people. They represent themselves and their own interests."

"(Concerning Antonio Di Pietro) He is the only true national leader, the authentic expression of civil society."

"I like journalists. Journalists are like confessors."

"Three reasons why young people don't have to worry about their future: education, politics and me."

"I'm younger than Donald Trump."

"I'm in opposition against to both the government and the opposition."

"Can you die of being pissed off?"

"I can't remember the last time I was wrong."

"I lost because of the "mediagame"."

"Everyone has their own strengths. It just happens to be that in me, all these strengths are combined."

"I'm God's choice to lead the people of Finland."

"Well, there must be the man in the house - and a mistress, too."

"They call me old, but I'm only 65-years old young man."

"I can not avoid my responsibility."

"The problem with the EU is that it spends money like it is going out of fashion, when actually it’s the Euro which is going out of fashion right now, with so many countries now questioning its membership."

"[T]he European Union is happy to suck money from member states like a giant leech, with absolutely no respect for how it is spent. Whenever more transparency is called for, they simply hide behind smoke and mirrors and fancy words, and completely ignore common sense. They show a total lack of respect to the citizens of the European Union."

"I am delighted to be named the first UKIP spokesman for Women and Equalities. These important issues need to be promoted without patronising tokenism, virtue-signalling and political correctness."

"I expect better from Catholic bishops. They need to understand that Ukip and the Catholic Church have so much in common. I cannot think of anyone who is a bishop or a priest who would not have the same values for people as we do."

"Clear and decisive leadership is crucial and we shall deliver it. It is urgent that we work on projecting our party firmly and decisively with the purpose of securing our nation’s interests through Brexit and beyond."

"The result sends a clear message to the powers at Westminster that people have become completely disenfranchised with their politics, and that the politicians have become completely detached from the issues which really concern the working man and woman. I have always believed that Britain is big enough and strong enough to stand on its own two feet, and to truly thrive when freed from the shackles of EU bureaucracy. Now we have the opportunity to prove it. June 23 will go down in history as our Independence Day – and for me, it's very emotional."

"I joined UKIP in 2003, when it was a party hardly anyone had heard of, but it was the start of an upward trend as we grew in importance and professionalism. In recent time I have watched the chaotic infighting and seen the growing frustration of members who feel their voices are once again being ignored as we embark on a new future for the United Kingdom. And it's this future I want to help shape by leading the party which had such a significant impact on the political scene in this country, under the leadership of Nigel Farage. My message is clear: I'm offering a real alternative to the other options of EDL-lite or diet Labour."

"The best man in my Cabinet."

"Barbara was a heroine of the Labour movement who brought in equal pay for women, and right up to her death was campaigning for the cause of justice for the elderly. She made a massive contribution to the 20th century and her achievements will never be forgotten."

"[Barbara Castle was] an extraordinary pioneer for women in politics. Barbara Castle was one of the dominating figures of the Labour movement of the last 50 years. She was courageous, determined, tireless and principled, she was never afraid to speak her mind or stand up for her beliefs. Britain has lost one of its great political figures and the Labour movement a great heroine."

"She was a wonderful fighter for socialism from her early days to the last. She gave her whole being to the Labour movement. Her last fight was for the pensioners and she helped to change that too."

"This means a pension increase of 72p – a fair price for a bag of peanuts."

"They lured us into the Market with the mirage of the market miracle."
