All in the polls

Why do we need elections to the coordination council of opposition?

As a person who does not participate in them (because, you know, not everyone needs to participate, some need to describe it), I will try to describe just. I do not promise political correctness.

The first and most simple reason is to clean the opposition from sludge.

The vast majority of those who went to marches are a bourgeois. Free and successful people. They want to see their leaders of the same free and successful people. Most of them do not want to professionally engage in revolution, because they have more interesting activities in life. Freedom for them is not a goal, but a means. The circumstance of the image of the action.

The overwhelming part of those people who sit in all kinds of “organizational committees” are professional fighters for the happiness of all mankind.

These people live in various and amazing worlds. For example, in worlds in which the Russian proletariat will finally rebel against the Putin oligarch. Or the worlds in which Putin is an agent of world Zionism and the State Department selling Russia to China. And there are worlds in which the bloody Putin regime blew up houses in Moscow, broke the plane of the Polish president and arranged Nord-Ost. Unlike Wahhabis, who also live in a strange and amazing world, these worlds, in general, are not contagious.

Despite the fact that this public hates the state and considers it the embodiment of the devil on Earth, it loves all kinds of committees, commission and unions, the chairmen or vice-chairman of which it consists.

So when the demonstrations began, this whole audience was extremely excited. I must say - not one she.

Vladimir Vladimirovich was excited and decided that the demonstrations are organized with the money of the State Department.

They were excited surrounded by Dmitry Anatolyevich. (“Yes, if we knew that there are so many people for us, we would have behaved differently,” Natalya Timakova, as they say.)

Mikhail Kasyanov was excited. And he told, it seems, that in view of these demonstrations, Putin, who knows and believes him, will now call him back and have to lead the Central Bank.

Eduard Limonov was excited. His favorite theory is now that the revolution was stolen from him. That the whole crowd went to him on the area of ​​the revolution, and the traitors Navalny and Nemtsov took it to the Bolotnaya.

So - all this mass psychosis of famous people turns pale compared to the massive revival of eternal losers. Their dreams were fulfilled! Finally, the people believed in them! They rushed into all organizing committees with a shaft. And according to the law of the organizing committee, if Navalny or Nemtsov or Chirikov sits on the one hand of the table, and on the other, some “chairman of the Committee on the investigation of the Krymsk tragedy”, then their votes at a meeting of the equal. And it is impossible to drive the “chairman of the committee”, because if you expel it, he will go to the next room and organizes his own organizing committee there.

Wow, how they howled - all these professional losers and fighters for free and honest elections on an all -Russian scale, when they were offered to hold elections among at least one hundred thousand voters, and it became clear that nothing was shining for them.

They began to scream: only famous people will win! The question is - how do famous people become famous? In the opposition? The State Department, or something, pays or the first channel PR?

They began to scream: this is a split in a single opposition! And what, she was one before?

They began to scream: this is the legitimization of Navalny! (In general, this audience hates Navalny as well and with a screening as the Georgian opposition hates Saakashvili.)

And the requirement of property qualifications completely brought them into a frenzy! How is it - ten thousand rubles from a candidate! This is a disgrace! Most of these people are sincerely confident that only a person is worthy to rule Russia, who believes that 10 thousand rubles. - This is a lot of money.

In the elections to the Coordination Council, meanwhile, so many candidates have registered that those who did not take part in the election do not look very good.

It is clear why Kasyanov and lemons do not take part in the elections. They are the leaders. How is it-the leader will write an essay that he is going to do, and some people will evaluate it there?!

It is extremely sorry that Vladimir Ryzhkov did not take part in the elections. Apparently does not want to compete. This is a very understandable feeling - for example, I also do not want to compete. But so I do not get into politics. It is impossible to win in swimming competitions without swimming.

Ryzhkov, at least honestly refused. With Ilya Ponomarev, a much more strange story came out. All these months, since December, Ilya Ponomarev in private, but numerous conversations positioned himself as the third member of the protest triumvirate “Navalny-Daltsov-Ponomarev” and demonstrated lists of people who did not authorize Ponomarev to compose any lists. Apparently, Eser Ponomarev sincerely thought that he was one of the most popular figures in the opposition.

When polls based on the results of the future vote showed that this is not so, Ponomarev did not withdraw his candidacy, but did not pay the aforementioned 10 thousand rubles. - That is, he made his candidacy the organizers of the elections themselves, after which they could be accused of illegally removed Ponomarev. Ksenia Sobchak deprived Ponomarev of this pleasure, paying money for him. Now Ponomarev, as I understand it, continues in the same spirit: Ponomarev wants him to be removed (so that later the organizers can be accused of a dishonest game), and the organizers answer: “Take off yourself.”

The elections have already revealed many amazing things: for example, the status and position of Sergei Udaltsov. If the nationalists showed significant democracy in the “Kuria” and the candidates were really coordinated, then Udaltsov simply monopolized this process. As a result, the rest of the left brought him a vote of no confidence, and it turned out that in Russia there is not only the left Marxist majority, but also in the marginal working and marxist world Udishov does not dominate at all, but is simply the leader of one of the factions that quarreled with everyone else.

This is generally the fourth - and the most encouraging - a lesson in future elections. For a long time we were scared by the revolution - a word that in Russia has very unpleasant connotations. We were assured that in the event of a revolution, extremists must come to power, that the Russian opposition is represented by left -wing, liberals (who are the same left), and the Nazis. And it turned out that the “left”, “liberals” and “Naziki”, who play such a large role in blogs and their own consciousness, actually have not only thousands - but at best hundreds of supporters. And through a general -degree list all these people simply will not crawl. And in order for the supposedly the leaders of the thoughts even to the coordination Coof, they need to offer benefits when admitting, as a National of the village from the village, who came to go to Moscow State University.

It turned out that we have a completely normal country and that Ksenia Sobchak or Dmitry Bykov enjoy the average opposition to much greater confidence than “left”, “liberals”, “nationalists” and no one, except for themselves, fighters against the bloody regime. In my opinion, for the sake of this it was worth starting these elections.

And yes - these elections are not perfect. There are no ideal elections. But they are elections for the simplest reason: we do not know who will win them. So far, according to ratings, it seems that Dmitry Bykov. In any case, they will be all the more representative, the more voters take part in them: so register, the more so that it is now possible to do it purely on the Internet, without any hiking in the bank.

And all politicians who will not take part in these elections I want to ask the easiest question: if you do not hope to win the elections in which 100 thousand people take part, and you can vote for 30 candidates, then in what elections do you generally hope to win? Do you think these elections are “dishonest”? Then clarify exactly where the Muhlezh will be and offer your scheme.

You will not obviously take part in the elections, where you will not show a high result, but Bykov, Navalny, etc.? Then how are you different from the US Communist Party, which year after year denounced “dishonest elections in which the bourgeoisie selects the next representative of the class of exploiters”? Are you satisfied with only the elections in which you will win? Then how are you different from Putin?

These elections are not “legitimization of Navalny”, not “dishonest procedure”, not “a dispute for who will have a mandate for negotiations with the Kremlin”. This is just a ticket for war. These are the elections of those people who in the coming year, if they can’t do anything at all, will disgrace and get off the stage. And everyone who will vote in these elections will not lose anything. After all, he chooses not even the power that will suddenly take and does not leave. He chooses for himself those who, in case of failure, will be thrown into the basket.
