One Back Step, Then Another...

Summary/Abstract: By declaring themselves pro-Europeans, opposition parties made a crucial U-turn in their strategy. Their strategic calculus was quite a simple one - neither more nor less can we be EU-oriented than you, Democrats. Besides, it costs us nothing. The same applies to all other strategies. As they are usually declarative, there is no reason whatsoever why not to take them over from you. Why not copy your slogans such as those about regional cooperation, fight against corruption and organized crime, social justice and, of course, state and national interests? These lofty goals being nothing but propaganda, why should we leave them to Democrats the more so since they are not even trying to achieve them? Democrats' failure was, therefore, guaranteed the same as voters' disappointment in them, all of which resulted in electoral defeat. The only alternative strategy in all this is to come up with an alternative that might put off even grudging voters.
