The start of Tusk-Kaczyński is the last election run in which the first violin is played by prominent representatives of Styrofoam elites. Then the end of an era will begin. In 4 years, biology and the political situation will prevent a repeat.
Of course, then Polish politics will not become completely free from the 'hero' heroes of the 1980s, due to the fact that those younger and little celebrated will inactive want to cut coupons off from their 'heroism' of the 1980s and live off our taxes. The current run brings absolutely nothing in substance and programically. The only program of the opposition is to take the power of the Law and Justice and then give people a paradise on earth. For people who are a small intellectually demanding, this is far besides little. The elector does not know, for example, what abroad policy Tusk intends to conduct after taking power. abroad policy should be 1 of the most crucial issues of this campaign. At least the PiS is sending signals to people. In the ritual sphere they have been presented more late as Polish patriots, not so far Ukrainian patriots. For as long as he can.
However, the announcement of the election deadline caused the 2 parties to have any real intentions. Tusk proved to be a good ‘gensek’ for which his partyers are the most important. Despite their small and stupid activity, specified a associate can number on a "one" to live for another word at our expense. frequently it will be the 5th term. I'm not the first to believe Tusk doesn't want to win. The triumph would be at the same time his defeat, due to the fact that all the announcements of the settlement of the PiS are unrealistic, even with sincere intentions, and this was the main propellant for voters. Of course, Paradise on earth will not introduce either. Especially for young people who will first vote specified a divided would be a shock. With its own president, tribunals, the prosecution can handle any effort to settle. Kaczyński besides announced 8 years ago that he would fill the prisons with Tusk's people and someway no 1 was sitting. The statement, we do not contact yours, and you do not contact ours, is possibly more than a neat rhetorical figure.
Despite intellectual malice, the run has its flavors. Kaczyński as always is 1 decision forward and forced the full opposition to discuss on the subject chosen by him, in addition to his own rules. Administering tension by revealing further referendal questions is simply a master decision in its simplicity. The Totals found themselves in a situation of heroes of ancient tragedy. No substance what they do, they'll neglect anyway. Just after the first question was revealed, the opposition embarked on a chaotic attack. Criticism of questions combined with the boycott's postulate of the referendum must be received by many voters as an announcement that KO will rise the retirement age, sale out national assets or bring problems to people with Muslim immigrants after winning.
Of course, it will besides destruct the barrier on the border with Belarus, which will be an open invitation to vasners and illegal immigrants. Watching the pranks of various street political performers, or listening to the statements of KO politicians, 1 can get the impression that Kaczyński did not foretell in his wildest dreams that the opposition was so stupid and would give him specified a wonderful gift.
The Tusk squad has been oscillating in polls for months from 28% to 30% and it seems to them that it is simply a "glass ceiling" they will never penetrate.. Tusk has no thought and no desire to attract another voters than his iron electorate. Bringing into circulation the thousandth meme with Kaczyński as a dwarf, allusions to his old-agery, or sexual orientation, etc., is simply a speech of hatred that “the representatives of the elite” cultivate. The same speech of hatred is practiced by Kaczyński, but as “a typical of the chamois” he does so more explicitly calling Tusk the incarnation of all evil. Would a voter who does not belong to “chams” or “elite” be tempted to offer 1 of these gentlemen? Actually, the question needs to be reversed. Did either of you do anything to attract individual called a symmetry.
Camp Tuska mocks symmetry, recognizing them as cryptographers. Although losing to the PiS in 2015 was a shock to the PO, they inactive consider themselves outstanding, and this defeat was considered special. Formulated in 2016 by Thomas Lisa The doctrine of the “total opposition” has been implemented thoughtlessly for the seventh year. Even failure in 2019 taught them nothing. All the time there are people in the public space who only engage in uncritical support for totals and taunting PiS activists and its electorate. Although a symmetry closer to Tusk than Kaczyński, they are very undesirable in KO due to the fact that they would blur the "doctrine of full opposition". Then we would gotta compose a program, discuss the repair of wellness care, seriously consider our unfortunate abroad policy, etc. However, this requires an intellectual effort, which KO activists do not like, and most of them cannot. Especially after Tusk's return, it's clear. Here the chief both says what to do and in addition how.
Thanks to the "doctrine of full opposition", Tuska camp survived 2 terms in good second place. However, specified a maneuver is not an option to win elections. If this was theoretically possible in 2019, no longer in 2023. 4 years ago, the full opposition won more votes than the United Right. Current polls indicate that the United Right and Confederation will vote for a million voters more than for the full opposition. Of course, the large results of the Confederacy, or the reluctance of the "third road" to take off together, will not be the main reason for the next election defeat of the KO. It's the shoe, the javelinity and the intellectual laziness of this formation that will give her a well-deserved loss. If for more than 7 years they have thoughtlessly repeated the same "total scheme" which did not arise from an analysis and a appropriate diagnosis, but was the consequence of the exaltation of Thomas Lisa, they have a brick disaster.
May I remind you that the same T. Lis together with R. Giertych at the beginning of July promised the support of KO over 40%. These “elites” consider themselves gods and think that the words they say from the device will change reality. After losing the election, there will be accelerated erosion of KOs. Of course, Kaczyński besides did nothing to attract symmetry, but little than Tusk fears them. In fact, it's Tusk that cares more about full conflict than Kaczyński, due to the fact that there's no another tactics.. Kaczyński has much more opportunities than the conflict. First of all, he has real power and money. It is besides worth remembering that it is very open to different environments. You can meet a justice and prosecutor from the times of the Polish People's Republic, and there will most likely be another officers from this era. Kaczyński can even buy a messenger from the left or usage Kukiza according to his needs.
Kaczyński, master of perfidia and manipulation, for any time confirmed Tusk's conviction that there would be only 1 question in the referendum about forced relocation of immigrants. He hit four. Disoriented opposition tries to discredit these questions in various ways and encourage the boycott of the referendum. Both a mockery and an effort at substantive analysis will not aid the totals. It will always be points for Kaczyński. In order for a national referendum to be important, more than 50% of those entitled to vote must participate in it. According to the latest poll, participation in the referendum declares 50.1%. It is so almost certain that more people will participate in the referendum than will vote for the PiS, even if little than 50%, it will inactive be Kaczyński's success. Of course, the majority of voters will answer 4 x NO. However, if more than 50% of the people were involved, it would be a knockout for the opposition.
The most surreal is the first question: ‘Do you support the sale of public enterprises?’. It's truly a question of nothing. In Poland, 18 state-owned companies remained, including respective in bankruptcy. From a legal point of view, they are not the same as companies with a State Treasury, which present is over 400. Even if the author meant both, it's inactive a small casual. Most of the Polish manufacture was sold out 30 years ago in Balcerowicz's time. To date, it is not even known how many companies have been privatised due to the fact that no 1 has kept a register. Of course, we're talking about thousands. Very frequently in those days, the plant was sold without a reliable valuation. The factories sold, even for nothing, were inactive in a better position than those which were bankrupted even though they had besides much for their products only lacked working resources.
I know cases where the crew was making a drop out of private money to carry out contracts. erstwhile they asked the authorities for help, this “styrofoam power” told them to go away. Both Tusk and Kaczyński supported that bandit privatization. "In the October 1990 "Goseta Pomorska" a study can be found from the gathering of Jarosław Kaczyński, then a senator who explains to voters in Toruń that in the economy it is essential to definitely destruct the nomenklatura strategy by fast and shocking privatisation" (forsal.pl 24.11.2017.) Therefore, if these 2 (Tusk and Kaczyński) present point to the sale of a company a fewer years ago, forgetting about the practice of 30 years ago, it is simply a spit in the face of voters, especially older ones who remember it perfectly. Bandit privatization is not only economic, it is also, and possibly above all, social issues. Many interpersonal ties have been broken and Polish society has evolved into a spirited collection of consumers.
This kind of herd is easy to control. For these 2 cynical gentlemen, it's a dream situation. Tusk screams democracy! He has only forgotten, or does not know, that democracy is not just a substance of law and procedure. It is besides civilian society. specified as Kaczyński and Tusk created an oligarchical strategy in Poland, where there is no place for civilian society. Instead, we have "social clientelism". Therefore, cheering 1 or the other, in their final duel, should be treated more in terms of sports. There's an old saying. erstwhile wolves bite, sheep rest. Let them bite each another and clean Poland even though part of “styrofoam deposits”.
