The EU encourages people to not take responsibility for the actions of their politicians. And how people moan about politicians and how they are a bunch of charlatans. <BR/><BR/>But elected politicians – however moronic – are better than faceless bureaucrats that we can’t get rid of.

There's quite a vicious circle going on right now. What Poland needs, is a stable government, rather than a swing from left to right and back every next polling day. A stable government could be - PiS and PO.
