Parties begin to wheel out the old slogans as election time draws close

The fact that they are reappearing in public means clearly shows election time is approaching. Political parties are quick to drag out these phrases, but unfortunately short after winning seats in Parliament they forget about their promises, as if they were suffering from amnesia and the high sounding slogans become empty phrases which were used to con the public. This time round all the indications are that the campaign will follow this well trodden method. Most political parties are returning to famous slogans from previous campaigns. The Civic Platform (PO) may deviate from this rule as they have found a new concept - they want make state executives and officials responsible for their decisions, and bureaucrats make of mess of things, they would be held financially liable for their mistakes. In reality enforcing this will prove very hard to perform. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) J.J.
