How can someone stand tall and without any feeling of guilt, while receiving tax payers money, from residents of the country he was essentially against its very foundation (act of independence to be exact)? Some of them are even proclaiming themselves as righteous defenders of its good reputation, and than in the same breath they criticize this country’s achievements one after the other, since they aren’t theirs. I know this is a part of the election’s campaign, but some respect must still be shown to work that others have done.
Even if I despise “Slovenski tednik”, free weekly political propaganda from the ruling parties, I still respect the work this party has done over the last few years, and its president Janez Janša as a character. He also was in decision of continuing a safe, worry free life as one of the quiet non-problematic followers of the former regime, or to risk everything and follow his ideals of free and independent republic of Slovenia. He did the latter and I am still very grateful for that. And what is to be said about his recent work, as a prime minister of this country, I really respect how well he managed to keep his share of voters over this years. If we take in account that before him, for 12 years the country was led by more or less the same people with different ideology that inherited its foundations (and most of its personnel) from the ruling parties in former “republic” of Yugoslavia, he must had a hard job initiating new ideologies into an “old governing machine” enabling him to do what he has done. And during that he also managed to find himself a damn attractive companion. 
And what about other major competitor parties? They’re all promising changes.. And believe me, good changes are always welcomed. But I still believe it would be to optimistic to expect them from the people unable to make them in their 12-years in position, as one of the ruling parties.
I don’t know much of politics.. But I know I don’t want my country to be led by someone with lack of integrity and to “flexible spine”. I believe we need someone with defined morals and values, that could be a model for all. So I guess it should be someone from out of politics…
