No, I'm not Shakespeare. And I will not write about love, but about my grief. The current election campaign is making it very difficult for me. As a conscientious citizen, I want to vote. Everyone wants that from me. All political forces are united by one – citizens to vote. Another thing unites them - they have nothing to do with DPS. To the journalists' question with whom they will ally, from all parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties comes a single answer – just not with DPS.
Following the voice of the politicians, I turn off DPS, although I don't know why he is “black Peter” in the deck of cards. Why is everyone running away from Delyan Peevski, after they follow him like puppies in the parliament and need his protection.
I also have to exclude “Vazrazhdane”, because they are very extreme and want to turn Bulgaria's geopolitical orientation 180 degrees through one election. Otherwise, they speak clearly, do not stutter, are very active and communicative, but with their slogans – to leave NATO, to renegotiate the conditions with the EU, not to vaccinate, not to accept the euro, to have peace all over the globe, they come to me more. Moreover, they do not budge in any way from their positions. They are unshakable and uncompromising. Iron men. They want a revolution, but with elections provided to them by the CEC. Well, it can't be done. It's utopian.
But since polling agencies give the above parties second and third place, they leave us to choose from 4 parties (certainly going in) – the first and the last three. However, they will never unite to achieve a majority. GERB has the highest percentage and geopolitically stands well, but none of the other parties want it. PPDB declare never again assembly with GERB. Since ancient times, the BSP has been proud of the fact that it was the only one that never united with GERB. ITN bends left and right and has vague emotions. GERB does not ask for party sympathies. Only with ITN it has something in common – scorching hatred towards PPDB.
Extra-parliamentary parties, no matter how likable they are and fight tooth and nail on the TV screen to get in, have no chance of crossing the 4% barrier. I would vote for some of them, but sociologists warn me that my vote will still go to the parliamentary parties.
The bottom line is that whoever I vote for, as asked of me, the common voter, I will later regret it. None of the candidates are eligible for election. Nevertheless, on the evening of 9.6. I will be happy to watch how in all the TV studios beautiful speakers in very high heels on huge screens will perform complex arithmetic operations, who with whom forms a majority. Sleep analysis by analysts will also be pouring in. Well, it's not all bad, is it?
