Dividing mandates, resources, and power. Who needs elections in Ukraine?
Meanwhile, as the world tumbles into chaos, we have found some "smart ones" who announce their "political careers" and cover all the billboards with their own faces.
It’s clear that the information flow of recent weeks has left many domestic politicians "shell-shocked" by the prospect of allegedly "upcoming" elections.
After all, Trump will "soon resolve everything," and then there will be a new "freeze," leading to the desired elections where mandates, resources, and power can be divided.
A separate topic is the "starving political technologists," who have been quite bored since 2020 with the electoral process, and therefore are striving to prove the inevitability of elections.
But what might society think about this?
On January 7, a press release from KMIS was published.
The main conclusion is that as of December 2024, 52% of Ukrainians trusted President V. Zelensky, while 39% did not trust him.
"Trust" is not the same as a rating. Ratings do not exist outside the electoral process and the overall offerings in the political market. Trust is more about the need for stability and legitimacy of state power in wartime, which shows no signs of ending.
I believe these results should be kept in mind by everyone eager to "start elections," as this could lead to not so much a "rise in popularity" but rather marginalization.
Another point. The demand for elections is one of the components of the ultimatum from the bunker-dwelling grandpa, which he has expressed repeatedly. He clearly wants a more compliant counterpart in negotiations, which Russians are evidently anticipating.
Thus, right now, the idea of an electoral campaign, no matter how appealing it may seem, could more likely bury the political future. No matter how much the "hungry political technologists" try to convince their potential clients otherwise.
