Before all election, by deciding to vote for a peculiar policy, I take into account not only the political programme, the firing declarations and pre-election promises he has announced. I don't think I'm focusing on his study, his image, his idealized facial image or his flawless hairstyle. I'm trying to see who my possible future typical truly is. What an opinion he has in his surroundings. What is his professional, intellectual and individual achievements. What successes he can boast about the failures his account bears. All these factors make him credible.
In the final account, I ask myself a fewer short questions. Would I entrust my savings to a politician grateful to me from billboards? Would I trust him with my home, my company, my family? In most cases, the consequence is negative. It is no different to the lion's share of Confederate politicians. Hence, my enthusiasm for this group is somewhat unreasonable.
However, each medal has 2 sides. By sending representatives of another groups to the European Parliament, we are practically certain that they will vote precisely in spite of the Polish reason for the state. That they would incite war and build walls. That they would strengthen the agenda of climateism, genderism and globalism. That they will enthusiastically support the transformation of the European Union into a nightmare totalitarian euro-state. We have a warrant that the American, German or mythical “European” interests and everyone else, but not our Polish, will support with their votes.
Although we can say the same about at least any of the leaders of the Confederation, on the lists of this committee we can find at least a dozen, if not respective dozen, candidates with certain hopes. So if we put a clearly negative solution on 1 of the scales on the other, and the negative 1 on the another is only likely, we should clearly choose the other. That's what reason says, even if the heart says otherwise.
I will feel discomfort if thanks to my voice the mandate of the Euro MP is obtained, for example, by Stanisław Tyszka (highly probable) or Przemysław Wipler (which for a change is rather unlikely). However, the same voice can contribute to sending a Parliament to the euro, for example Grzegorz Braun, Roman Fritz, Jack Wilk, Rafał Forysia, Krystian Kamiński or Anna Bryłki. If the price I gotta pay for the Polish voice in Brussels is to be my individual discomfort, I am ready to pay this price.
As the Iron Chancellor rightly taught, Otto von Bismarck "people should not see how sausage and politics are made." Politics is not aesthetic art. If it is to be effective, there is no area for idealism, romanticism and maximism. So while we can lift our moral and intellectual superiority to the pedestal to point out to the Confederates their many disadvantages, let us simply not do so. In 2 days we will elect 53 representatives of Poland in the European Parliament. Among them, we can place at least a fewer of those we will not be ashamed of for the next fewer years. That's something.
