The Sejm would become one big hearing room, and Marshal Hołownia’s only announcements would be announcements of their agenda.
Three commissions of inquiry immediately, and three more soon – this is in fact the government program of the current parliamentary majority. This is absolutely not enough. There should be 23 of these committees and they should all be established by 2023. 23 committees, because if each committee can have a maximum of 11 members and these will of course only come from the Sejm majority – 248 MPs (because why would that be the case otherwise), then 17 can be appointed in the maximum composition, and 6 in a composition of 10 people, leaving only the Marshal of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, without a command. This would probably have to be adjusted if there were some MPs in government (with Donald Tusk at the head), but for starters there are 23 committees and not one less.
You can do anything in parliamentary investigative committees (we already know such cases), so no special qualifications are needed for their functioning. There will be chair positions for Klaudia Jachira, Iwona Harwich, Agnieszka Pomaska, Ewa Kołodziej, Aleksandra Gajewska, Kinga Gajewska, Michał Kołodziejczak, Henryka Krzywonos-Strycharska, Franciszek Sterczewski, Cezary Tomczyk, Marta Wcisło and Aleksandra Wiśniewska (by necessity).
All 23 investigative committees must get to work immediately so that Poles can see that the Sejm majority is not alienated. And “work” must be broadcast. 24 hours a day, because there will be no antennas on public television that have probably already been purchased. All 23 committees would deal exclusively with the United Right, and MPs would have time for nothing else, giving the impression that a lot of work is being done day and night. There could be some sofas in the committee rooms and MPs could draw discount vouchers for a two or three hour relaxing nap, for example.
If all 23 committees with 247 deputies worked at the same time, it would not even be necessary to explain why the deputies do not have time to present something programmatic, some important bills. However, one could say that without the commissions and their findings it is impossible to govern or even formulate a plan for exercising power. There would also be no time to work on regular committees, so no one would require them to perform their basic functions.
The impression would be given that the entire parliamentary majority moved like electric scooters and apparently had no time to do other work. After several broadcasts in the case of each of the 23 committees, the Poles would confuse everything and just think that there must be a serious problem behind it all, since 247 parliamentarians were involved. The details are not important, because then it would be known in advance that the United Right is to blame, and the point is just to flaunt this guilt.
The Sejm would become one big hearing room, and Marshal Hołownia’s only announcements would be announcements of their agenda. And he (the Marshal) would have so much work to do that he wouldn’t even have to remember what the Sejm is actually for. And this room would break all world records in terms of interrogation power and combined mass of investigative material. It is possible that paper prints arranged in one stack will quickly exceed the size of the Sejm.
No one will complain that the possible new government is not in power, as it will be presented as unrealistic without a full settlement, that is, without 23 investigations. And it doesn’t hurt that everyone would quickly become confused (some were thinking about the committee before it started its work) in trying to understand not only the investigations of their own committees, but those of other committees as well. And MPs would be the busiest people in Poland, for which they could receive special bonuses and assignments from work leaders.
Final reports can be drawn up immediately, because everything is known in advance, but a few names of the respondents can be added at the end. No one would worry about the futility of the auditions or their complete failure. And after four years, another election for the Sejm, that is, for the investigative committees, and an ambitious task to break the record of 23 committees in the new term. And without choosing the easy way, namely by setting up committees with fewer members. Watch!
