How is the fresh government expected to fish for a conservative electorate, an anti-script right-wing man? Alexander Hall hopes for PSL: “In the current ruling coalition there is only 1 force that can attract not only disappointed PiS voters, but people with centre-right and conservative views. It is the 3rd Road, or more specifically the PSL and another environments oriented towards Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish. The apparent condition for this to happen is political will and a clear discrimination between ideas and the civilian Coalition and the Left, while maintaining a government coalition that in the present Sejm has no alternative“ – we read in “Rzeczpospolita”.
Hall is not an enthusiast of “Happy Poland”
Alexander Hall points out that the ideological offensive of the Left or the ideological changes inside the PO disappoint the conservative electorate, who did not support the PiS this time, only the 3rd Road, and thus 1 of the political forces forming Donald Tusk's cabinet:
For many politicians of the liberal-left camp, as well as sympathetic publicists, journalists and celebrities, the time of “happy Poland”. Our homeland was to leave the realm of darkness and enter the age of light and progress. This is different from the voters' position of conservative, right-wing, and centre-right views, who decided to support the opposition due to the disastrous balance of government of Jarosław Kaczyński camp. They are not delighted with the ideological offensive of the left or the abandonment by the PO of its liberal and conservative sources. After the exposé of Prime Minister Donald Tusk and his announcement of the composition of the government, they already know more about what they might expect – writes Hall in “Rzeczpospolita”.
Not adequate conservatives in the government?
Alexander Hall criticises the division of ministries in the fresh government, sees besides small engagement of conservative politicians who could counterbalance anti-clerics from the left, mocking anti-communism:
The construction of the government is interesting, but it will not necessarily service national reconciliation. Resorts, which are liable for the state's classical functions and constitute its church, were occupied by PO politicians, with 1 very crucial exception of Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, who took over the Ministry of National Defence. Candidates drawn by the 3rd Road – utilizing Marxist terminology – are primarily liable for “base” and the left for “overbuilding”. specified a division is definitely not good news for Poles placing their views on the right from the centre, and I think that besides for any supporters of the centre. In fresh years, any politicians of the fresh left have become celebrated for declarations that offend the memory of John Paul II or the post-war anti-communist underground. Many of them dream of obtaining a monopoly on cultural and world-view issues, which will contribute to deepening divisions between Poles.
Alexander Hall, a supporter of the current government, in an interesting way, from the Conservative position criticizes constructively Donald Tusk's cabinet.
