If nothing extraordinary happens, we will have elections in June, and it is clear that they will be non-political. In other words, it is expected that the pre-election lists will be headed by respective leaders of political parties or alliances, and we will witness the whole spectrum of imaginable and unimaginable application of "black" technologies against them.
What was the main discourse of the last few years’ political life? The group of people who came to power claimed that their main problem was the opposition: were the opposition good, the government would also be good and would govern the country more effectively. Bad opposition and bad political legacy - that's where, according to the incumbent government, "the shoe pinches." The opposition, in its turn, states that the problem facing the nation is its people. Were the people sober, they would not be given in to emotions and would not have elected such authorities, and after the defeat in the war, they would generally be evicted from the government building.
Such discussions have now gained new momentum and threaten to become the main points for waging the upcoming pre-election language war and for “digging dirt up on” certain people.
Heading a state implies hard work and a great responsibility. For that, one must have flexible political mind, effective management system, and professionals in various fields, institutes dealing with scientific and political issues, and exchange platforms. Political parties must turn into mental, ideological and personnel forges, where there are clashes of ideas and views, regular staff updates, active interaction between the new and the old generations and exchange of experience. Naturally, instead of all these, we have a primitive struggle for power, and as a result, the image we have today, threatens us with a torrent of pre-election swearing, slander, mutual accusations, and perhaps also with hand-to-hand fighting and post-election shocks.
The possible aforementioned developments may be avoided if the struggle is waged not among individuals but ideas and programs. In this case, the composition of the debaters may also change automatically, since politicians of a completely different quality and way of thinking appear.
Finally, now we have the fruit whose seeds have been sown for the last 30 years.
