Mirosław Orzechowski

In June 2008, Mirosław Orzechowski wrote a letter to the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński, calling for revoking Polish citizenship of soccer players taking part in matches against the Polish National Team. However, pursuant to Article 34 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, Poles cannot loose their citizenship without their consent. When this was brought to his attention, he proposed to change the constitution so that playing in the national football team of any other country would be interpreted as an act of voluntarily abandoning Polish citizenship. [3] The background of this proposal was Poland's defeat against Germany in the European Football Championship 2008. Lukas Podolski, whose family had left Poland when he was two and who never formally lost Polish citizenship, had scored both goals in this match.

The two are far from being mutually exclusive.

I'd say that he is very much representing his electorate: people who consider themselves to be True Poles and in fact are simple idiots.
