Russian term or phrase: не знаю, как политически правильно
Доброго времени суток

Вот, сам президент говорил, что нужно к парламентской системе переходить, надо этим и воспользоваться. Поэтому я вообще против преемника, надо чтобы во главе страны не стоял один человек, лучше, когда партия, я, конечно, хорошо не знаю, как политически правильно. Но мне кажется, так будет лучше.

Спасибо.

English translation:I dont know, which is better politically
Explanation:
You want to avoid "politically correct" as that carries with it a different meaning that is not present in the original.
