Thank you for your support in the elections! It is a new credit of trust that I deeply appreciate. Today we continue our work and the day began with the ministry's weekly meeting to discuss current affairs. We have many good works to be implemented, many already accomplished, and a large part successfully launched!🇱🇻

Kulbergs does not plan to join any of the United List parties for now

So there it is – if they had been elected to the Saeima, they would have fallen apart on the very first day!

Our party was created in a great hurry; unfortunately, individual members were admitted to its ranks whose true place is on Latvia's political blacklist, so that no party would suffer from their destructive activity. Parties can be saved from solo artists only by such an electoral order that allows these unappreciated opinion leaders to stand individually. Abolishing party funding would also substantially clear the field. During the campaign, we refrained from expelling the destructive members, despite the fact that they publicly railed against their own party and the members of the list. Now the party board will decide on their expulsion. I will not comment on fabrications. That character well known on Twitter has been spreading fabrications about me since the session of that conservative thought conference @Demos_LV, before which I refused attempts to use ultimatums to cancel one speaker's appearance. 'Mēs mainām noteikumus' have applied to remain. Our goal is to raise Latvia's political culture, bring politics back into politics, and allow all opportunists who have wandered into politics by mistake to operate in a not-too-strictly regulated state economy. As for economists, corner media, whatever — that is up to each person. May all their good intentions succeed!

Siliņa has decided to follow in Kulbergs' footsteps, most likely to better connect with the public.

@viuksmp there are leadership problems - if the party wants the face they associate with to be Ilze Indriksone ... well ... generally the absence of an image strategy, they are saved only by the fact that there is a clear ideology, which is super important for many...

@JurgisLiepnieks I think, given the energetic minister, the result could have been better. Yes, they hold the base, but in every election they get a smaller % than in the previous one. Slightly, but steadily sliding down.

@viuksmp There have been fewer for them too. Well, Kulbergs removed something and ASL also removed that little percentage, but overall they are among those who held their base, despite Kulbergs' tsunami.

@JurgisLiepnieks What about NA, who apparently achieved their historically weakest result?

As the smoke of political battles begins to settle, the pluses and minuses of the election results are also becoming clearer. ZZS voted in — good. Unity was elected — bad, but they crossed out Ašeradens (the party's prime ministerial candidate, first number! wow. I can't remember another such case!) PRO was elected — bad, but still 10 seats not 15 as they planned and which seemed quite realistic. And now they are doomed to opposition. Jūlija got a lot, but rather less than could be expected. Stabilitāte is altogether below 2%. One clear person responsible for the whole country for four years — very good. The fact that it's Kulbergs — not so good, but hopefully enormous power will now awaken leadership skills that have been hidden so far.
