I will not turn my eyes to a wicked thing; I hatred transgression: they will not stick to me. A perverse heart will be from me from afar; that which is evil, I do not even want to know. (Ps 101, 3-4).
So hear ye, kings, and understand, learn, ye judges of the earth. For erstwhile you were servants of his kingdom, you did not justice honestly nor did you observe the law, nor did you follow God's will, and he will shortly come upon you, for there will be a severe judgement over the rulers. (Mdr 6, 1 4-5)

Only 1 period until the elections in Poland. Efforts must be made to take part in them in a liable manner and to choice worthy representatives for the Sejm and the Senate. respective general principles request to be considered, and then look in peculiar at 7 nationwide electoral committees, their programmes and candidates.
It is simply a alternatively delicate sphere, due to the fact that many people consider themselves political professionals and do not want anyone to tell them how to vote. However, it seems to me that a typical attitude is to stick to the erstwhile accepted choice of a group. A man refuses to admit to himself that he may have made a mistake before. Therefore, in the debates, he will search to confirm his choice alternatively than a critical review of possible electoral proposals.
In my opinion, it is equally legitimate not to participate in elections or to participate in elections. And it is morally justified to resign from the elections only if, after examining the election committee's programmes, we have not found anything akin to our expectations. However, it should be borne in head that there is no program that full corresponds to the voter concerned; the closest 1 must be wisely chosen. And it seems that if there's quite a few election committees, there's always something to find. It is hard to defend this attitude: I am tired of politics, all politicians are frauds, I will not go to elections.
It may be worth noting that the electoral run period is mainly stimulating emotions so that possible voters can make choices based on them. Most frequently these are negative emotions, directed at opponents. If electoral debates are of this nature, it is more crucial to quit watching them; rather, it is crucial to read the programmes and commitments to voters. You can besides actively ask what solution the group will take erstwhile it participates in the exercise of power. It is besides crucial to remember what the formation promised before the erstwhile elections, and what it did, whether erstwhile it was in power or during parliamentary and legislature voting. In the event of crucial discrepancies, it is hard to respect the lot as credible. Of course, there will be an attitude in the electoral messages: we may not have fulfilled what we promised, but if the opponents come to power it will be a disaster. Here's the emotional message. In this kind of debate, it is alternatively crucial to show what we will do in a given case and what the opponent will do erstwhile it comes to power; then it is reasonable to choose.
Of course, we should remember what the current power has neglected or wronged during the last term, but it is besides worth to imagine what actions the opposing camp would have taken if it had been in power (and what he had voted for). Elections are a summary of the activities to date, in peculiar the governing party. The public should give a signal as to whether the actions to date approve.
Let us review the programmes of the national committees. The Citizens' Coalition excludes the smallest citizens from the community: it demands the killing of unborn children up to 12 weeks of age and does not let its lists of life defenders. So he can't be a good choice. All the more so, the Left, the heiress of communists, who, in addition to killing unborn children, besides demands the demolition of social order by destroying families. The 3rd Road Coalition (PSL and Poland 2050) is an environment that demands a referendum on who is to live and who is not. And although there may be good people on the lists of this coalition, it is hard to trust PSL in the government with the PO. It is hard to say anything about the Committee of Independent Local Governments; there are local governments about political ambitions that did not have a chance to launch a letter from KO. Therefore, we request to take the Committee with reserve.
Law and Justice has over 8 years of governance, good and bad decisions and actions. My reservations concern: the relativisation of life defence and the effort to circumvent the decisions of the Constitutional Court (the Committee in the MZ, which wants to enable the killing of children due to intellectual wellness of women), the introduction of drastic restrictions in the time of the alleged pandemic, in peculiar the regulation of entrepreneurship and access to medical services; the waste of public money due to erroneous decisions related to COVID19, the implementation of EU policy despite the declaration that it will argue it, the consent to interference in matters of the regulation of law in exchange for money from the CPO, the adoption of the alleged green order, alternatively of the energy base on its own resources, the deficiency of withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention, the deficiency of firm opposition to the alleged inclusive education, which may jeopardise the education of the young generation, the commitment to war in the east with the vulnerability to bring us into war, without tangible benefits to Poland, the deficiency of commemoration of victims of genocide at Volyn, the expense of Poles, the hazard of losing self-sufficiency of food products from Ukraine, non-condictive policy of migrant.
We request to be aware that if there were opposition in power at the time, it would be subject to an even more globalist environment. After all, she called for this and demanded that power be more submissive to the EU, greater restrictions at the time of the alleged pandemic, etc. Despite these serious mistakes, this grouping can be considered in elections if it wants to admit mistakes. If not, we may fear that in akin situations we will do likewise. The Confederacy revealed its views during this word of office, and in general, the votes showed courage and common sense, a willingness to bear the severe consequences of remaining faithful to its programme. A certain disadvantage is that it is not uniform in its views and a liberal approach can be detrimental to society. Finally, Poland's last nationwide committee is One, which describes itself as a actual right-wing formation, unlike others who pretend to be the right-wing one. The actions of Rafał Piech, the leader of this formation, are commendable, but the another candidates are not known. But possibly this formation should be given a chance to develop, due to the fact that it may later be harder. It would be good for right-wing demands to appear in public debate. erstwhile selecting your candidates, you should know something about them; you cannot vote "in the dark" on the basis of recommendations. It's worth uncovering out what he's been doing so far, what his views on matters that are crucial to us. It may not be easy, but it needs to be checked. You request to know who we trust.
And so that the elections do not lead to permanent divisions, but that after them the groups undertake together the efforts to realize the common good of Poles, and in families the divisions from the election period would not last, but to live in friendship.
