It is not enough for us peoples and nationalities to read, but they could certainly write a book, or at least as an oral literature, about how to advance and build a political career in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To that goes the build-up of how to behave in power and remain deaf and blind to any problem. Except when you make it yourself, politically interesting.

Let's start from the beginning. You have two options - to join a pompous party or to create your own party. This is literally its own party - it becomes a private company, which does not answer to anyone.

As soon as you join, the head of the party should be in your every other sentence, as a role model and model of behavior for the whole family. Eat the patron saint or martyrdom, what is loyalty and worship to the party leader! May the believers forgive me, but what can I do when that's the case. You wouldn't want to go into politics, but something has to be done, and you can't do that if you're outside the party. Of course, you never apologize to anyone for not doing anything at all.

If you are creating your own party, the first story must be that it is now something new and different, with the mandatory rule of law on the lips, the protection of the poor and your people in your heart - both in dreams and in reality. To trick the followers with the story that it is a departure from those in power and that a bright future is starting with the new party.

If it is about changing the party, of course the sentence is about recognizing the true values ​​and strength, and how did you become enlightened about their wise policy. By any chance, if you are in public service, and others come, you immediately change your jersey and swear loyalty, with the explanation that until now you have undermined the government from the inside and have never agreed with their politics. It is mandatory to cite at least three witnesses of your rebelliousness and disagreement, with special reference to the fact that you only have the welfare of the people at heart, and that is the only thing offered by the party you are joining. They won't really blame you for the price in the transfer window, there will be more envy or lessons to be learned.

Then starts climbing the career ladder. Depending on whether you are seen as a capitalist or a foot soldier, you get a position. You immediately buy the most expensive phone and call for a tender for a new car with a detailed specification of what you want and to whom you want to set up the tender. When the taxpayers pay for the car and the phone, then you install yourself at the supplier. Win win situation, what would you say. That if you are a capitalist. If you're an infantryman, you explain to your boss that you can't work effectively without a car and a phone and that you don't want your exes to laugh at you, and after all, it's less than what they used to do. Of course not, but you know that everyone wants to hear what they need at that moment as an excuse.

If you manage something and someone, a negative audit report or at least a qualified opinion recommends you for further advancement. No one complains about it anymore, but it's a sign to the bosses that you've taken care of the party by spending beyond measure. If you took care of housing in a short time, and the foundations of the cottage were buried, it is a sign that you know yourself, and therefore you will know your boss. Especially if the contractor is close to the party leader.

In case you are the head of a new party, you emphasize that you will never join a coalition with the insolent and hateful subversives of the state/your people/the Dayton Agreement/opponents of the EU (choose the appropriate option). Of course, you are already preparing the ground for a coalition, and the reasoning is clear - either the coalition partner has changed, or it has to be in the national interest, or your wise policy will bring them where they need to be. You have, of course, already agreed on the dynamics of mutual accusations during the coalition to forget the number of poor people, poor standards, the absence of human rights and the suppression of freedoms. Not even St. Alexius, the patron saint of beggars, can help the poor with such party believers, but that's why he strengthens St. Dismus, the patron saint of robbers. "Allah is the protector of the weak, the weak, the poor, the innocent. He rewards most beautifully, but also punishes fiercely. Whoever is not ashamed of Allah, let him do what he wants", and shame also becomes a very stretchable category.

For the European Union, the standard story goes: we want to, but the partners are holding back and we need your even greater support in every way in order to make a breakthrough. At least some funds or opening negotiate membership.

Once in power, do not react to any scandal or criticism. The people forget it anyway in two days at the most, and no matter how shabby, a tried and tested recipe about national threat, external and internal enemies, and closing ranks is always effective. Poison and rule. Completely erase criticism, and if by any chance it is heard or resonates, immediately ridicule, insult, degrade or plant the most monstrous story against the critic. After all, you appropriated the budget, and how much money, so many bots and spitters. These are always certain sources, certain enemy forces, certain knowledge and the like. In any case, no one will ask what that particular means, that is, which one and from where. Victims are never important, only those who survived in power are counted. If you act like the master and owner of everything, they will regard you as such and treat you as such. Both domestic and foreign, right?

And keep fooling people with some shows, some performances. So the essence is completely lost, and the sheep don't even bleat anymore.

There's just no lesson on when to stop so the rope doesn't break. This has not yet been studied or seen here.
