It's my party and I make the rules here. Why don't you start your own party, since you think you have leadership skills?
"Let us run," some say at the door of the DP; others by email; others by lawyer.
— I don't want to, period!
"How can I not?"
— It's my party and I make the rules here. Why don't you start your own party, since you think you have leadership skills?
"Why don't you open the race to renew the leadership by vote and create a new leadership structure?"
— I don't want to, man! I don't feel like moving anything. With these people I communicate with signs, not words.
"Why don't you open the party up so that the dissatisfied and the critics can come, so that we can expand the DP's voting base?"
— I don't want to. The ones I have are enough for me, as long as there is no other rival party in the opposition camp. Why don't you take these, since they outnumber the Democrats?
"Why don't you respect the statute you wrote yourself? This is how you lose your moral cred when you accuse Rama of being an autocrat."
— I don't want to respect it. Who will force me here within the DP? Rama does the same thing. It's a big deal if moderate voters leave. 20% fanatic voters, who see the world through my eyes, are enough for me. The others, seeing that they have no better alternative, will come here, as they have come other times.
"The way we are, we will never come to power. Many Democrats continue to be unemployed."
— Great job! I myself am fine. Even those close to me are not bad. Life is not bad in the opposition. These people of Rilindja are knights; otherwise, even those inside me, like you, would complain.
"But polls say they are more willing to vote for a new party than the DP on the right."
— And then? Have you seen any serious right-wing movement that wants to represent these people? Everyone's mind is on how to get into the DP, not how to rival it.
"Please, let us reform the DP. We have brilliant, conservative ideas, comparable to Labor or Republicans."
— No, my dear! You will introduce the Trojan horse into our midst, offering us ideas that those inside cannot even understand, let alone articulate. They are for action; I have the ideas myself. You, since you have brilliant ideas, include them in your party's program.
"Vacate the building, or you'll force us to come and take it, just like you took it from Luli by force."
— I took you with people, not with force. As long as you continue to believe that people gather inside the building and not outside it, nothing bothers me. Luli had the same illusion: he armored the building, thinking that he would also armored his supporters. You saw for yourself how they escaped.
"Why don't you let your rivals compete with you, at least in appearance?"
— I don't want to pretend. I'm not blocking the race out of fear of them—they themselves know how the result will be with me. I have it as a test for those I have inside: if anyone has any doubts or ideas like you, to clearly understand whose party it is and who sets the rules.
"It's forcing us to form another party."
— Ha-ha! As long as you stand at the door of the DP and believe that without its logo there is no future, you are finished.
35 years of history has taught me that politics is numbers. As long as you deal with the building and the logo, and not with the numbers, you are not a political animal. Therefore, I sleep peacefully.
