United Russia approved the Ethics Code for party members
At the All -Russian Congress of United Russia, the ethical norms of the party’s behavior were approved. When they enter into force, it is unknown. The working name of the rules is “commandments”, therefore the code of norms on the Internet has already been nicknamed as “Seven Commandments of United Russia”.
The final list of norms has become softer than preliminary . For example, there are no rules in it “less often to appear in public space”, “not to annoy voters”, “not to behave defiantly and not to insult people who earn less for various reasons.”According to the established standards, members of United Russia should:
“Relate to people and their problems with respect and attention, to help them in protecting rights, in restoring justice, in overcoming difficult life situations”;
“Exclude the actions and statements that can lead to infringement of human rights and freedoms, be responsible for the word spoken, to prevent statements that humiliate the dignity of people”;
To be “intolerant of attempts to revise and distort the history of Russia, the violation of its traditions, the spiritual values of our peoples”;
Adhere to the principle of personal modesty and restraint in public behavior, and in response to public accusations of illegal or immoral actions to publicly defend their honor, dignity and reputation by all legal means;
“In the event that the charges of committing crimes or misconduct are true and discredit the party, immediately resign from all party positions”;
Openly expressing and defending their position during the party discussion, and after making the final decision to adhere to a party position;
To fulfill the obligations taken to people, to personally and regularly report on the execution of the orders, promises, appeals of citizens, the implementation of election programs.
There really is a need for such a code - the imposition of power to the conscience of some party members is obvious. Probably, the first in line for exit from the party is the head of the Department of Youth Policy of the Sverdlovsk Region Olga Glatsky, who owns the famous phrase: "The state did not ask you to give birth." However, she is not going to leave the post.
Many should pay attention to the point of the principle of personal modesty. It is known that the United Russia is the richest politicians in the country - the three of the most wealthy deputies of the State Duma includes it. For example, in Grigory Anikeev, judging by the income declaration, in the possession of a bathhouse of 380 square meters. m. Igor Shuvalov, according to the FBK, on his plane carries dogs to exhibitions, and then surprises that Russians willingly buy tiny apartments.“The conscience does not allow me to quit it - there are about 400 children. For a month, until I was, 3 projects were not implemented, ”said Olga Glatsky, director of the Department of Youth Policy of the Sverdlovsk Region
“We were shown today apartments with an area of 20 square meters. m. It seems funny, but people get such housing, and it is very popular, ”comments Igor Shuvalov, head of Vnesheconombank.
The item “Request for the word said and fulfill the obligations taken to people” refers to those who promised to prevent the retirement age, and after the election asked to treat with understanding.
In addition, there are many examples of rudeness of members of the ruling party. For example, a party member Andrei Isaev made a brawl on an airplane, he also called journalists small creatures.
Apparently, many in the party really have to explain such basic things as respect and understanding. The latest study of the Levada Center showed that the number of Russians who support and disfigure the United Russia political party was practically equal to 47 against 44%, respectively.
The failures of the EP candidates in the September elections called the general deterioration of affairs in the country (38%), a low assessment of state -owned voters (29%) and a low assessment of representatives of the EP (26%).
According to the general director of Levada-Center, Leo Gudkov, the improvement of the socio-economic situation will not change the level of support of the party by citizens.
Recall, according to VTsIOM, in November 2018. The rating of approval of the State Duma and the Federation Council among Russians fell due to pension reform . For the same reason, researchers tied the fall of the ratings of Putin and Medvedev in August. A little later, in October, the Levada Center said that the confidence rating for the President of Russia has decreased to 58% -this is the “reside” level of 2013.
In the program “After the News”, political scientist Ekaterina Shulman spoke about the possible reasons for the fall of ratings and changing the views of people on patriotism in Russia.
