While the Democratic Party might not offer much (just like the Republican Party or the Bridge Party), being Prime Minister means you hold the reins and decide how things go. If they tried to obstruct you, you could just walk away from the coalition whenever you wanted. You can't get a better position than Prime Minister if you actually want to make moves. If the Bridge Party really had any ambition or a plan, they should have taken that deal...
Personally, I think the Democratic Party would be more willing to compromise and push for change than the Republican Party, mostly because they’re chasing small political perks and have less skin in the game when it comes to keeping local politics exactly as it is...
But everything has changed now because the Democratic Party lost its entire vision once Zoki left...
But what kind of vision was there actually when Zoki was in charge? Was it just Plan 21?
I mean, there wasn't really a vision back then either; Zoki was more of a personality, sort of like Sanders—someone you could easily watch and follow. He’s pretty bold and, well, maybe a bit cheeky too, which is just how he is. 🙄
People get worked up over it, things get heated, and honestly, once you look at the whole mess, it’s just a big chaotic scramble. 🙂

A dynasty that just won't quit.
I do give Karamarko some credit; they had plenty of opportunities during that first term to sell out for some serious cash, yet they managed to hold their ground.
On the flip side, I am completely fed up with these populist stunts, like when Petrovljev filed that criminal complaint against Todoric just a few days ago. Is a legal filing really supposed to fix everything right now?
I think I'll give them a little more breathing room to see if they actually follow through on their principles. But even if I can't get my own specific ideas passed, shouldn't I be seeing mountains of indictments by this point, considering there's corruption to be found everywhere you look? And yet, somehow, there's nothing.
I guess I wonder how many complaints, criminal or otherwise, you've personally filed within your own circles... I mean, it's almost impossible not to know about some behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
I haven't filed any myself, though I definitely know about plenty of fraud and shady dealings—I just can't prove them, obviously. So, I think it's actually pretty brave whenever someone files a report against the "big players," even if it is someone like Bozo Petrov...
We've gotten so used to nothing happening that when someone actually does something, people just call it populism. It feels like nothing we do is ever considered right.🙄
