Which is more important, political piety or structure and accountability?

Safdar Nazari

These days, the name of “Jacinda Ardern”, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, is often heard. Therefore, at the age of forty-three, she announced that she is unable to fulfill her responsibility and intends to step down from power. Public people have formulated the action of this New Zealand lady under political piety or other moral concepts and praised it. In the meantime, they compared this decision with the lifetime president of Sudan, who cannot control his urine. Someone who is at the height of his inability but is not willing to hand over power to someone else. In other words, it is as if such analyzes want to tell us that the main problem in not handing over seats of power to people who are more capable than themselves in some political systems like South Sudan is that they do not follow moral principles. they don’t

Because they live an immoral life, they are not willing to step down from the seat of power. In other words, in political behaviorism, those in power attribute the issue to morality and introduce morality as the cause of the cause. Is it a moral virtue? No matter how much “Gaja Cinda Ardern” has the ethics of responsibility and compliance with principles and rules, we must understand these kinds of decisions under the influence and structural pressure rather than naming them as morals.

This means that in the political structure based on responsibility and accountability, officials must be accountable for the power that is entrusted to them. If a person feels that he does not have the necessary physical or psychological strength, and on the other hand, he must be responsible for the assigned duties, then he has no choice but to step down from power. Therefore, Mrs. Ardern’s step down should be understood under discipline and structural pressure rather than having a moral meaning. that there is no structural responsibility and legal accountability, and those in power can rely on the head of power regardless of the rules and laws until death, we should not expect moral behavior from them.

Basically, a nation should not set their expectations from those in power on the basis of morality, but instead of moral expectations, they should set the power system and structure in such a way that everyone who sits on the seat of power is forced to comply with predetermined rules and regulations. The most important pillar of a desirable structure is the legal and structural compulsion of those in power to be responsible and accountable. Therefore, the moral advice to retire to the elderly is futile and absolutely useless. Instead, you should pay attention to the rational and democratic adjustments of the political structure. This is a wrong proverb that says: “Daisy’s door is open, where has the cat’s modesty gone?” It is wrong because fate and fate should not be tied to the modesty of a cat. Daisy’s door should be closed. A cat can’t do anything, no matter how naughty or nice, it can’t be closed.
