As a society, we have entered an important electoral year. The general elections for the Assembly of the Republic, from which the government will emerge, have been scheduled, and local elections for municipal assemblies and mayors will be held in the fall.
Party and electoral organizations in their history are known from ancient times, in England, since the "Magna Carta Libertatum" or "Great Charter of Liberties" (June 1215) limited the absolute power of the monarch, making possible party organizations with the Tories (landowners), Whigs (blacksmiths) or later Conservatives, Liberals and Labor. Modern party and electoral organizations also occurred in the United States of America, with the Democratic Party during 1792 with Thomas Jefferson and then with the Republican Party during 1834 with Abraham Lincoln, and in addition to party organizations, their electoral organization and fan base are also known.
In our country, political parties have already created reliable net electorates based on worldviews, but also gross fans as if a sports match were taking place. The most typical flow of communication with the electorate is between party structures, through which presentations and points of view on political goals are made, which is closely related to political determination and passion. Meanwhile, fans are approached and invited as cheering support during campaigns, such can be that unprofiled gross mass. But, it has never been enough to be considered only as an interest in fans, but the structures needed enthusiasm and creativity as a necessity for party ovations. Not infrequently, fans have been called the second support front for political structures after the electorate, perhaps also because of the connecting links and gross size. The fan base gathers and supports for the reason of victory and not for reading politics, because they conceive of politics as a sport and not as conviction and orientation, after all, this is the unique difference between the electorate and the political fan base. The fan base are those of political events, of cheering actions, of displaying flags and banners, materials with texts, figures or other characteristics with political rhymes throughout the election campaigns, all to keep the electorate's rhythm in support of the political party structures.
Public policies created by political leadership and governing structures require much more transparency and at the same time much more accountability to the citizen, to the electorate, which is decisive in determining the outcome of the elections. Political parties, when they lose power from the electoral vote, and with it privileges, have often lost the reason for their statements, using insulting and defamatory words towards political figures, perhaps even against the interests of the Republic, judging that some kind of "injustice" has been done to them, surprisingly, remaining confused about correction while in opposition. And to make matters worse, there are those who focus on the loss of privileges as an "injustice", and not as an opportunity for improvement by punishing the vote of the electorate and cheering for misgovernment.
When millions of Americans voted for World War II hero Dwight Eisenhower as their Republican presidential nominee, he used rhyme and rhythm taken from Republican candidate John C. Fremont's 1856 presidential campaign slogan, "Free land, free labor, free speech, free men," Eisenhower's use of rhyme and rhythm helped him defeat Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson. Rhyme and rhythm became common campaign precedent.
Beyond the rhyme and rhythm, the presentations and political mottos, the Republic needs intra-social political emancipation that must be accepted as a particularity of democracy, as a vote and a procedure; the opposite brings a punitive electoral vote. Our parliamentary Republic endlessly needs functionaries with profession, with integrity and knowledge, for courageous political reflection. We must have learned that the rules of democracy enable us to self-criticism, criticism and discussions as a possibility of emancipation, and only in this way, parliamentary primitivism is thrown away in our democratic Republic.
The Republic of Kosovo needs time to heal from the wounds of the past by ineptocrats and heroism to do what is right, as a unique national and state duty.
