Morality And “Elections”

“Deputy” mandates do not have legal force, and their owner cannot call themselves people's representatives.

To let everything go and move on, deceiving themselves and others – for such people morality is definitely only a name and it’s useless to produce any reasons...

Talking about the “elections,” under the concept of morality I mean the principled position taken especially by those, who claim power, confessing the spirit of democracy and freedom: if the elections are fair, they are legitimate, if the elections are not fair, they are illegal and that means the mandates, whoever is their owner, become inoperative and their holders cannot call themselves people’s deputies!

Parties and other political entities either recognize, or do not recognize the “elections”: if you take a mandate, then you recognize the “elections” as free and fair, and if you, having taken a mandate, scream, that the “elections” are not fair – it is a profanation and nothing short of a swindle, so no self-respecting people would any longer be serious about such politicians.

Therefore, either you wend the way of lies and deception in politics, or you are consistent and honest with your voters.

You can‘t bear similarity to impostors.

We are to bring out of the shadows those, who have turned our country into total falsehood.

And there's only one way out – to be different and to have the edge over them.

I want to differ from them, and, at least, I will try to move in this direction.

And I wish many others became different.

Otherwise, we are doomed to be in the giant overall shade of lying to ourselves and the people around us.

That's about the moral.
