So, according to the latest poll it's 48% for Duda and 44% for Komorowski.

Well Marty you survived one bought of PiS(s) government. You can survive another.

The problem is that I don't think they will give up so easily this time. Last time, after 2 years, when their coalition split up, they gambled by calling a snap election and hoping to win a single party majority. This gamble did not pay off and they were ousted from power. Now, after 8 years they are much more pissed off and much less likely to do it again. Plus back in 2005 we did not have a war at our borders. During their 4 years in power they can really do a lot of harm now.

In what way would their foreign policies be different? I guess I figured this was one place where Poland had a solid consensus on. I mean I guess PiS(s) does have disturbing anti-western rhetoric but does it really mean they see Putin as the model like Turkey and Hungary do?

They would be as isolationist as Turkey and Hungary AND even more hostile than the current government towards Putin. You can imagine how well it may end.

What do you mean by isolationist?

[Valmy]

So they see Putin as both model and mortal foe. How post-modern.

What do you mean by isolationist?

I presume finding the nationalist 'Polish Way' and rejecting the corrupt decadence of the West.

ah: so alone, poor and backwards

[Martinus]

So, we have a new President. Great.

[Tonitrus]

Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss?

[Martinus]

The new Polish President with the First Lady as compared to Mr and Mrs Underwood.

[Eddie Teach]

Uncanny!


Cause those are such odd outfit choices for a political couple...
