We are presently dealing with a dispute within the Confederation. On 1 side of the corner we see the disappointed “Party of Snake Island” and on the another side we see the fresh Hope. 1 organization proves that she was deceived, that there was a gentlemen's agreement, a resolution that the erstwhile Members were to have 1 from the vending device on the lists during the future elections. The another side in turn wanted, as part of organization pushes, to organize the primary. Consider: Who is right in this dispute?
These 3 rebellious Members have someway lost contact with reality. For a party, cheering for the national-conservative-free right, specified one-to-one arrangements are simply embarrassing. They attest to parthiocracy, succession of positions, deficiency of substance and competition. I say so large Members of Parliament, the large Honourable Person, aren't they afraid of losing to individual in the primaries? That is why public preaching that specified an agreement has taken place compromises freedomists. This is besides related to the fact that we live in times of the Internet, universal access to information, not keeping the nation in stupidity and ignorance. Let's face it – now the highest standard of choice of right-wing leaders is the primary for American prayer.
But let us give back to the emperor what is imperial, and to God what is divine. The Serpent organization claimed that the primaries were unfair, that they were created according to principles that favored the elected leader of the organization. And they were right here. We had a scandal with the primaries in Legnica. There were voices calling for vote control – they were disregarded. Plus, there were charges of missing cards. The case was swept under the carpet, and Warsaw decided everything, as usual.
In another words, in specified trivial cases the ugly qualities of Poles appear, mainly combinationism and integrity. On the 1 hand, we make pompous statements about how the voter decides, and on the another hand, we let for a "small deal" – and as a result, we compromise the right idea. There's only a taste left in your mouth. We all feel disgust and embarrassment.
If we want to avoid making akin mistakes in the future, it may be worth considering what was done wrong. In order to organise fair primaries that will gain universal acceptance, we request (according to the author) the following solutions:
1. Voting should be public and stationary. The usage of ballot cards and closed ballot boxes is always a possible anticipation of fraud, a possible anticipation of credibility of the body. In the event of open voting, there is no way to deceive voters. The committee typical is to walk through the hall and number his hands up. Moving on, there is no consent for correspondence or net votes.
2. Any person, besides unrelated to the party, may vote in the primary. However, there is no specified thing as a free vote. The condition for taking part is to pay the electoral contribution. For a individual outside the organization organization, the contribution is smaller (say 50 PLN), and for a individual from the street the contribution is larger (say 150 PLN). If you want to participate in another regional elections, the rate for a natural individual increases to PLN 300 (e.g. a individual wants to vote for leaders for 5 voivodships, i.e. he pays 5x PLN 300 = PLN 1500). If a candidate can afford to pay for his possible voters in bulk, then so be it. The policy should be fun for the wealthy, preferably those who look at the state as an enterprise with experience and money from the private sector. Just let them make a professional, serious run for that money, without embarrassing our demands. By engaging in the task of sympathizers, we activate the electorate.
3. All the funds raised must be spent on an election campaign. The money will be paid for: banners, leaflets, posters, advertising spots. I want all buck settled. It is essential to print the financial study after the primary. Let us love like brothers, let us number like Jews – let us respect our money. We didn't get them for free, we got them for hard work.
4. We should not exclude individual from the vote on any pretext if they have already paid. Even members of the organization together, the Electoral Gazeta and the Political Critic combined, can be guaranteed to participate in the vote. However, these environments will not do this issue due to the fact that they are not crazy adequate to sponsor our elections to lead to possible ridicule of their organization. In a situation of failure, they hazard being voted on, that is, their hard-earned money will go to the right-wing campaign.
5. Before the vote, we organise a public debate on candidates. We have a right to know who has any views on the case. Each candidate receives the same amount of time to respond. No 1 has the right to interrupt a individual who speaks. Non-compliance with these rules is punishable by sanctions against exclusion from the debate. Moderators keep an eye on the order during conversations.
6. organization leaders cannot challenge the result of the election. If in a given area the candidate was won by an unfavorable chief – well, JE Donald Trump besides won against much of the crucial Republican organization members.
7. Independent NGOs should be active in the electoral process to guarantee the integrity of the primaries as observers to form an anti-corruption link. People working for ideas can't be bribed.
These considerations give a hint to the perfect right. Even if they're the voice of a screamer in the desert. The motivation to compose these suggestions is to want to see serious people in the Polish parliament, is to want to make a average political system.
Finally, let us end with the "right-wing strengthening by division", that is, the creation of a new, right, couch organization all 5 minutes. And let's say good-bye: arrangements, unusual pacts, crazy deals, triggering the protocol "1%". The success of the Confederacy project, with all its imperfections, is an example of how conservatives, nationalists and freedomists must work together beyond divisions alternatively than in their own swamp.
