Democratic Party nominates its leader for PM

This situation appears eerily similar to what just happened in Russia, where two leaders swapped the top jobs. The huge difference is, however, that former Russian President Medvedev, now Prime Minister Medvedev as popular as opposed to Tadic who led his party to defeat in both the parliamentary and presidential elections. Some mandate he's going to have, huh? There has got to more than two decent leaders in the country of Serbia so they don[t have to recycle these unpopular losers, NO?

Tadic is a failed president and that's why the Serbian people removed him from office.

He has no legitimacy to be PM. SNS should form the next goverment.

We know that on 20 May 2012, here on B 92, Boris Tadic in his concession speech to Tomislav Nikolic stated that he would certainly not assume the Prime Minister’s job.

The word Assume means to take upon oneself, and while some may have thought that Tadic would never seek the job of Prime Minister, that is not what Tadic said, and Tadic always knew that he would be the Parliamentary Leader of the DS if the DS is in Government.

Tadic has subsequently ‘consulted’ with or ordered the DS, to nominate him as the Parliamentary Leader if the DS ends up in Government, and I do not know if Tadic is President of the DS, or Dictator of the DS to the extent possible.

Tadic said that “he was ready to become prime minister if coalition partners accepted his principles, goals and a plan for the functioning of a future government”, and we see that Tadic did not say DS when referring to his principles, his goals and his plan.

If the DS does form a Coalition Government, then the one or more Coalition Partners will need to suppress Tadic’s Dictatorial and Self Centered Style, because Serbia is supposed to be a Democracy.

I offered no opinion on Boris Tadic being the Parliamentary Leader of the DS, and I think the DS where told by Tadic to make him their Parliamentary Leader.

We appreciate why the SNS said that Tadic would have no Legitimacy as Prime Minister, because a Prime Minister is not a Dictator, but is one who respects, practices, and who by example promotes Democracy.

No fear, unlike the SRS where the one and only big leader (in prison) is determining (read: dictating) who can keep his position and who's not, in the DS a party committee nominates their candidate for PM - the normal direction of power in a democratic party.

No, the huge different is that Medvedev as president was not much more than a stooge put into power for Putin (who was not allowed to have a third term of presidency), they are belonging to the same party, unlike Tadic and Nikolic.

Tadic is the West’s Puppet, and all those in the DS are the West’s Puppets.

This means that the West has chosen Tadic, and the DS ate Tadic’s Puuppets, and while the process is made to look like is was done Democratically and after Wide Consultation, but that is because the only difference between Tadic and Seselj is that the West is more deceitfully subtle, because they can afford to be more deceitfully subtle about the Fact that they are Dictators.

At the same time Seslj and the SRS do not have any Parliamentary Seats, but Tadic and the DS do, and this could be because of the Wide Spread Election Fraud during the Parliamentary Election.

Vojislav Seselj is in Jail and on Trial with Trumped up Charges, and it is all Political, and it is nothing to do with Legality or Justice.

What this means is that Only Political Considerations of America’s West especially during an Election year can help him, and I made some suggestions in the Comments Section of the 28 May 2012 news item that is Titled: Radicals reshuffle ranks in wake of Elections fiasco, and we all know that there was no investigation of the evidence of Election Fraud during the recent Parliamentary Election.

We went through a similar situation after voting Gordon Brown out. It took a while for the Liberal Democrats under Clegg to settle on the largest party the Conservatives and agree a coalition. Maybe its not the ideal marriage but it respected the wishes of the electorate. Mr Tadic is your Gordon Brown, clearly voted out but still looking for a way to hang onto power. Mr Dacic is your Mr Glegg holding the balance of power, but sadly appearing to be more interested in that power than the state of his nation.

Mr Nikolic of course is the equivalent of our Mr Cameron, elected leader and head of the largest party SNS, is it really conceivable that he can be President while the defeated Tadic and DS try to form a government with the SPS? How would that work? More importantly how would that change the political direction of Serbia giving any stability to a nation that has voted for change but is in danger of getting the same thing again, hardly a shining example of democracy.

"and this could be because of the Wide Spread Election Fraud during the Parliamentary Election"

yes, it could be, but a simpler explanation than "there's a massive conspiracy" is that the election results are what the Serbian electorate voted. Given that observers from all parties were at the polling stations, it seems that "the simpler explanation" is more likely the reason to explain your cognitive dissonance

This is nothing at all like the situation in Russia. Medvedev was a placeholder and under the same party as his boss who continued to pull the strings while Dmitry Anatolyevich was in office.

What Tadic and DS is doing is nothing like Russia, this is the wheeling and dealing that goes on in this type of Democracy. Tadic's party collected a good amount of seats on May 6th and is virtually in as good as a position as Nikolic to form a government, 73 seats and 67 seats are just about the same in power when it comes to negotiating with other parties to form a coalition, Nikolic will be President, we do know this. For Serbia's sake, you would hope Nikolic and Tadic could form a government as this would represent the most Serbian voters. That may not happen though, it's looking like the Serbian presidency will have much less power than previous Serb govts.
