Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform [246]
let's be honest they don't have the best diplomatic skills but in the bigger scale they try to be loyal to their country and people.
yes, it's true they are not best of diplomats probably - but I am very glad you managed to notice they care for the country and the people - I understand you don't share their moral stances based on religion but I mostly do even though I am not christian - and even though I am a iron electorate of PiS I don't hold Kaczyński to be perfect, flawless, and infallible or even a great strategist as many PiS voters do -
I don't agree with some of their legislative proposals either (like ban on Sunday trade, ban on ritual slaughter or ban on fur animals farms to name a few) - what I believe though we don't have anything realisticly better at the moment -
I ultimately am for more of a direct form of democracy like in Switzerland including electing judges - the judiciary system in Poland designed in 1989 and 1997 is judges appointing new judges and judges controlling judges (through the KRS) - this, the special caste like attitude of the judiciary and their specific political leanings but also their involvement in cliques especially early on after communism ( i can give you some examples but I will spare you for now it is a long post anyway) have caused a lot of anomalies including corruption on all levels, inefficiency, incompetency, inconsistency (which should not be a case in codex law you would think) that haven't been addressed throughout the years (like hardly any corrupted or biased judge facing any serious consequences) - this (the judiciary being an authority unto themselves) has to end - and some control of the judges by officials elected by the public (i.e. representatives of the public) is a step in the right direction - but as I say I am ultimately for electing judges directly by the public for terms in office possibly on all levels of the judiciary (like it is in many states of the US) and the power for people to depose a judge they don't think s/he suits them anymore
