"Divided We Govern"

"Divided We Govern" is a political principle suggesting that a government, particularly in a divided society, is more effective when political parties or factions cooperate rather than oppose each other. When parties work together across differences, they can pass laws and implement policies more efficiently. Conversely, if they are hostile or refuse to compromise, governance becomes difficult, leading to gridlock and inaction. The phrase emphasizes the importance of collaboration and consensus for effective governance in environments where political divisions are prevalent.
