Origin

Content: ‘No president for more than a century has assumed office with less of a popular mandate for his policies.’ ‘We will therefore go back to the electorate to renew our mandate with confidence.’ ‘The temptation must be enormous to ask the electorate for a fresh mandate, now that the latest opinion polls show he has enough support to be returned to power.’ ‘What's more, he will claim a mandate for every single policy he comes up with, even if they didn't appear in the election campaign.’ ‘Despite their mandate to serve their electorate, our representatives at the Commons are notoriously difficult to get hold of.’ ‘That's the kind of mandate election authorities need to do their job.’ ‘It simply provides that someone who changes his or her status in that kind of way needs to go and get a fresh mandate from the electorate.’ ‘He lacks the freedom that a directly elected mayor gains from their direct relationship with the electorate and their clear mandate.’ ‘In a general sense, therefore, action has not been linked to any policy mandate from the public.’ ‘He might take it as a national mandate to pursue the policy of truculent unilateralism.’
