Snad to, co chci \u0159\u00edci, \u0159\u00edk\u00e1m za \u0159adu jin\u00fdch: za mnoh\u00e9 z t\u011bch, kte\u0159\u00ed nejsou politiky, n\u00fdbr\u017e jenom ob\u010dany; kte\u0159\u00ed snad jsou nebo byli dosti \u0161patn\u00fdmi stran\u00edky, proto\u017ee se sna\u017e\u00ed b\u00fdt co mo\u017en\u00e1 dobr\u00fdmi ob\u010dany. Je n\u00e1s dosti, kdo nech\u00e1v\u00e1me politiku jin\u00fdm, proto\u017ee d\u011bl\u00e1me n\u011bco jin\u00e9ho; d\u011bl\u00e1me svou pr\u00e1ci a v\u011b\u0159\u00edme, \u017ee to nejlep\u0161\u00ed, co m\u016f\u017eeme, vyd\u00e1v\u00e1me v\u0161em pr\u00e1v\u011b ve sv\u00e9m povol\u00e1n\u00ed.<\/h6>\n

Nen\u00ed to politick\u00e1 nete\u010dnost; \u0159\u00edk\u00e1me-li, \u017ee chceme m\u00edti pokoj od politiky, znamen\u00e1 to n\u011bco velmi v\u00e1\u017en\u00e9ho: \u017ee chceme, aby politika byla v po\u0159\u00e1dku; aby n\u00e1s neotravovala nad na\u0161imi pracovn\u00edmi stoly; aby n\u00e1s neponi\u017eovala. R\u00e1di bychom pova\u017eovali politiku za ur\u010ditou pr\u00e1ci, kter\u00e1 se kon\u00e1 stejn\u011b pozorn\u011b a v\u011bcn\u011b, jako my kon\u00e1me svou a jakou \u017e\u00e1d\u00e1me od sv\u00e9ho krej\u010d\u00edho nebo z\u00e1me\u010dn\u00edka; r\u00e1di bychom d\u016fv\u011b\u0159ovali politik\u016fm tak, jako d\u016fv\u011b\u0159ujeme \u017eeleznici, \u017ee n\u00e1s poveze tam, kam jsme si koupili l\u00edstek. Nepleteme se z\u00e1me\u010dn\u00edkovi do jeho pr\u00e1ce ani strojv\u016fdci do jeho \u0159\u00edzen\u00ed; p\u0159edpokl\u00e1d\u00e1me prost\u011b, \u017ee rozum\u00ed sv\u00e9 v\u011bci a \u017ee si z n\u00e1s ned\u011bl\u00e1 bl\u00e1zny. N\u00e1\u0161 \u017eivot by byl neoby\u010dejn\u011b trpk\u00fd, kdybychom k nim nemohli m\u00edt t\u00e9to d\u016fv\u011bry. Nu\u017ee, n\u00e1\u0161 politick\u00fd \u017eivot je v tomto smyslu velmi trpk\u00fd. M\u00e1me poni\u017euj\u00edc\u00ed v\u011bdom\u00ed, \u017ee s n\u00e1mi politi\u010dt\u00ed lid\u00e9 d\u011blaj\u00ed, co jim je libo. Jsme jim dob\u0159\u00ed jen k tomu, abychom jim odevzdali hlas; v\u0161e dal\u0161\u00ed, co n\u00e1m demokracie d\u00e1v\u00e1, je politick\u00e1 bezmoc. Snese\u0161 takovou bezmoc, pokud je demokracie v po\u0159\u00e1dku; ale dus\u00ed\u0161 se j\u00ed, jakmile si uv\u011bdomuje\u0161, \u017ee demokracie jde \u0161patn\u00fdmi cestami.<\/p>\n

Kdy\u017e \u0161lo o novelu tiskov\u00e9ho z\u00e1kona, varovala od n\u00ed cel\u00e1 ve\u0159ejnost; vy politikov\u00e9 v\u0161ak nedb\u00e1te toho, co na v\u00e1s vol\u00e1me. Pon\u00ed\u017eili jste n\u00e1s a dali jste najevo, \u017ee v\u00e1m nez\u00e1le\u017e\u00ed na ni\u010dem. Stroj\u00edte poni\u017euj\u00edc\u00ed volebn\u00ed reformu, kter\u00e1 z n\u00e1s ob\u010dan\u016f u\u010din\u00ed dr\u017eavu stran. Jakou zbran\u00ed se m\u00e1me br\u00e1nit my, kte\u0159\u00ed jsme jednotlivci, proti v\u00e1m, kte\u0159\u00ed jste strany? Co v\u00e1m je po n\u00e1s? Nejste mandat\u00e1\u0159i na\u0161i, n\u00fdbr\u017e mandat\u00e1\u0159i stran; nept\u00e1te se n\u00e1s, n\u00fdbr\u017e v\u00fdkonn\u00fdch v\u00fdbor\u016f stran; nejste odpov\u011bdni n\u00e1m. Mezi n\u00e1mi, kte\u0159\u00ed jsme jenom ob\u010dany, a v\u00e1mi, kte\u0159\u00ed jste zam\u011bstnanci stran, nen\u00ed nic spole\u010dn\u00e9ho; parlament nen\u00ed tribunou na\u0161\u00ed, n\u00fdbr\u017e zbyte\u010dn\u00fdm a ned\u016fstojn\u00fdm p\u0159edst\u00edr\u00e1n\u00edm ve\u0159ejn\u00e9 kontroly nad politick\u00fdm handlem. Nemluv\u00edte za n\u00e1s; jen se o n\u00e1s dohodujete. Mezi n\u00e1mi a v\u00e1mi zeje propast, kter\u00e1 se nenapln\u00ed \u0159e\u010dmi na sch\u016fz\u00edch stran ani p\u0159edem napsan\u00fdmi a domluven\u00fdmi rezolucemi.<\/p>\n

Poni\u017euje n\u00e1s, \u017ee vol\u00edme poslance, kte\u0159\u00ed nejsou na\u0161imi poslanci; \u017ee sv\u011b\u0159ujeme v\u0161echnu moc ve st\u00e1t\u011b parlamentu, jen\u017e nen\u00ed ji\u017e parlamentem; \u017ee na\u0161\u00edm jm\u00e9nem jsou d\u011bl\u00e1ny z\u00e1kony a reformy, je\u017e nejsou dobr\u00fdmi z\u00e1kony a reformami. Pro n\u00e1s, kdo nejsme politiky, je demokracie jist\u00fd syst\u00e9m kreditu; vol\u00edce tu nebo onu stranu sv\u011b\u0159ujeme j\u00ed sv\u016fj mor\u00e1ln\u00ed souhlas; poni\u017euje n\u00e1s, je-li ho zneu\u017eito k v\u011bcem nedobr\u00fdm. I m\u00fdm hlasem bude p\u0159ij\u00edm\u00e1na nemravn\u00e1 volebn\u00ed reforma; i m\u016fj hlas byl spolus\u010d\u00edt\u00e1n, kdy\u017e byla svoboda tisku ura\u017eena tiskovou novelou. Styd\u00edm se za to, jako bych byl spoluvin\u00edkem; to jest to politick\u00e9 pon\u00ed\u017een\u00ed, ve kter\u00e9m \u017eiji.<\/p>\n

Poni\u017euje n\u00e1s ned\u016fstojnost parlamentu, kter\u00fd i st\u00e1tn\u00ed nezbytnosti vy\u0159izuje stranick\u00fdm handlem; poni\u017euje n\u00e1s parlamentn\u00ed syst\u00e9m, v n\u011bm\u017e bez hrub\u00e9 a honorovan\u00e9 majority by pot\u0159eby st\u00e1tu nebyly uh\u00e1jeny. Poni\u017euje a skli\u010duje n\u00e1s p\u0159\u00edzemnost politick\u00e9ho jedn\u00e1n\u00ed; co jde vysoko nad dom\u00e1c\u00ed z\u00e1jmy stran, je politick\u00fdm exponent\u016fm tak lhostejno jako chalupn\u00edkovi aviatika. Poni\u017euje n\u00e1s samoz\u0159ejmost, se kterou politi\u010dt\u00ed mach\u0159i p\u0159ij\u00edmaj\u00ed fakt, \u017ee st\u00e1t je odevzd\u00e1n stran\u00e1m k exploataci. Poni\u017euje n\u00e1s osobn\u00ed \u00farove\u0148 mnoh\u00fdch, z nich\u017e strany u\u010dinily vlada\u0159e nad v\u011bcmi n\u00e1roda. Poni\u017euje n\u00e1s forma i duch politiky, je\u017e vl\u00e1dne pomoc\u00ed ne\u010dist\u00fdch kompromis\u016f mezi bezohledn\u00fdmi z\u00e1jmy.<\/p>\n

Jsme velmi bezmocni; ale je n\u00e1s mnoho. Nem\u00e1me nic ne\u017e ten sv\u016fj hlas, pokud i ten n\u00e1m koali\u010dn\u00ed demokracie nevezme; av\u0161ak i ten bezmocn\u00fd hlas znamen\u00e1 mnoho, nebo\u0165 j\u00edm d\u00e1v\u00e1me mravn\u00ed souhlas, aby v\u011bci z\u016fstaly p\u0159i star\u00e9m nebo aby se p\u0159ese v\u0161e zkusilo zm\u011bnit je. Je to v\u011bc kreditu; my, kdo\u017e jsme jenom ob\u010dan\u00e9, uv\u011b\u0159ujeme jistou mravn\u00ed hodnotu lidem, kte\u0159\u00ed s n\u00ed maj\u00ed hospoda\u0159it. Na\u0161e politika (mluv\u00edm st\u00e1le o n\u00e1s, kdo nech\u00e1v\u00e1me politiku jin\u00fdm) je prost\u011b ot\u00e1zka d\u016fv\u011bry; na\u0161e politick\u00e1 \u010dinnost je omezena na akt, j\u00edm\u017e sv\u011b\u0159ujeme jin\u00fdm plnou moc, aby jednali za n\u00e1s. Skute\u010dn\u00fd kredit m\u016f\u017ee b\u00fdt jenom osobn\u00ed; ale n\u00e1\u0161 volebn\u00ed \u0159\u00e1d ho nep\u0159ipou\u0161t\u00ed. Sv\u011b\u0159iti sv\u016fj souhlas nov\u00e9 stran\u011b je jist\u00e9 riziko; m\u016f\u017eeme b\u00fdti zklam\u00e1ni; ale bez n\u011bjak\u00e9ho rizika se v tomto sv\u011bt\u011b nepoda\u0159\u00ed nic.<\/p>\n

Jsme-li nespokojeni, vol\u00e1 se na n\u00e1s: Pracujte ve stran\u00e1ch! Ne; je-li n\u00e1m \u010deho t\u0159eba, tedy je to pracovat proti stran\u00e1m; proti vl\u00e1d\u011b stran; proti hlasovac\u00ed ma\u0161in\u00e9rii; proti inkompetenci; proti politice za zav\u0159en\u00fdmi dve\u0159mi; proti v\u0161emohoucnosti v\u00fdkonn\u00fdch v\u00fdbor\u016f; proti na\u0161emu pon\u00ed\u017een\u00ed; proti \u00fapadku demokracie. My, pouz\u00ed ob\u010dan\u00e9, nechceme vl\u00e1dnout; my chceme jen d\u016fv\u011b\u0159ovat. My m\u016f\u017eeme znovu a znovu zkou\u0161et, ne\u017e se najde politick\u00fd syst\u00e9m hodn\u00fd na\u0161\u00ed d\u016fv\u011bry; ta jedin\u00e1 mo\u017enost a to pr\u00e1vo n\u00e1m je\u0161t\u011b zb\u00fdv\u00e1; a bylo by politickou letargi\u00ed, kdybychom toho pr\u00e1va nem\u011bli u\u017e\u00edt v t\u00e9to neslavn\u00e9 dob\u011b.<\/p>\n
