For a Government without a strong popular mandate, taking such steps is delicate.

Elected governments already have a strong mandate to make most important decisions in the name of the nation as a whole.

"But they are also aware that whoever wins is going to have a very strong mandate."

The new coalition government now had a strong 9 to 2 mandate in parliament.

In a democracy, one could not get a stronger mandate.

He still comes to Washington with a strong mandate for that.

If anything, we now have a stronger mandate to proceed.

The leadership is looking for a strong mandate at the moment, because it faces increased international pressure over its nuclear development program.

I think that for the future we need a strong and clear mandate.

I also want to have a Commission with a strong democratic mandate.
