Everything I've read is they can veto legislation, act on international affairs, etc. Absolutely not largely symbolic unless a Polish person would like to correct me.

Especially a big deal considering the current coalition is very weak and can barely agree on legislation anyhow.

It's irrelevant. You're telling people what they can and cannot do based on when they were born.

It'd be one thing if no one could smoke. But youre not saying that. You're strictly saying because you were born after x date that you can never smoke.

That's entirely messed up and my point being it's terribly against personal freedom.

And you basically proved my point- people will make allowances for other vices but not this.

That I can't get on board with personally. Everyone has a vice.

Imagine doing that with cannabis or drinking. Probably wouldn't get near the support even though those are also vices.

Precisely. They're going to be claiming to be victims regardless. You don't reason with that.

It's the same shit as the economist arguing against le pen being banned from running in France. Heaven forbid she and her party broke the fucking law and are being held accountable. They think the public somehow knows better.

Newsflash- we have laws for a reason. Laws without punishment are useless and so is a government that refuses to respect them. They will sow their own destruction with abdication.

That or fine them for every single minute they make everything else important late. Should sort itself out.

I fully expect people to fall asleep and skip voting like they always do once dems (if) get power again. Either because they're lazy or upset they didn't get everything they want after one election, etc.

I'm jaded but it's like clockwork.

I feel like he got out just in time. Otherwise he would've been the next Qaddafi. Which he fully deserves FYI.

Yeah well, there were still 90 million who didn't give a shit and stayed on the couch. That would've easily turned everything around.
