We're not gonna count..

I thank 219 people who, in good faith, have declared their work to vote for me on the action page “Let’s count”. The site is only available in the archive form.

I started this action trying to respect my well-known voting concerns. In my own interest, I tried to run a mechanics that I thought was necessary, especially in my case, erstwhile “mainstream” presents me as a candidate at least risky. I know these situations, and I know that to break them, it is essential that akin reasoning people see each other.

But first of all, I wanted to take elections seriously. The hazard of wasting voices does be — although fear - driven, seemingly rational strategies, they are not truly rational. I was willing to take the risk. I knew that incomparably it was harder to collect signatures on the website than the votes cast in polling urns. That then there will be far little signatures than possible votes. Nevertheless, I was besides prepared to show a situation where, before the elections, a small support expressed by signatures would be a indication that voting for me is not truly worth voting for. I thought — and I inactive think — that this is what work should look like in this hard situation where all political leaders left us behind and where the deficiency of a common list simply excludes a certain and rational strategy in the vote.

However, it was impossible to actively advance the website with signatures. Google makes it very hard to advance websites. Only the PiS managed to place respective advertisements of this kind and it was done with the participation of Orlen and another “sponsors” before the run began. Even in this case, the effects are poor. Technically, it is impossible for a circumstantial website to scope its audience — and this was a condition for success.

So far little than 2.5 1000 people have visited the site with signatures. About a tenth of them left their signature. Many of these signatures I checked — these are actually people who can vote in my constituency and want to vote for me. all tenth visitor to the website and signing is an exceptionally advanced rate in specified situations. I checked, and this origin was not only for people who knew me, for it was besides maintained erstwhile the site was opened by “foreigners” — those with whom I had no contact. Well, erstwhile I actually “check” it would be possible to talk out, presenting a page not 2.5 1000 people, but about a government the size of a larger population. I can't do this before the election.

Which is why I apologize for withdrawing this action. Well, at least I tried. It is difficult, you will gotta take the hazard by voting. I ask you to take it.
