Aleksandr SolzhenitsynI am a convinced and consistent critic of party-parliamentarism. I am for non-partisan elections of true people's representatives who are accountable to their regions and districts; and who in case of unsatisfactory work can be recalled.

Politically motivated ties can be unstable and quite often they have selfish ulterior motives.
