Poland's Elections Thread 2015

Btw, Kukiz'15 party is the equivalent of Jobbik so it's not like PiS is the worst option available.

PiS

[Martinus]

So this is how the split looked like in 2011 (orange is PO, blue is PiS):



This is how it looks now:



Only Danzig voted for PO, because they are Germans.

They are taking the PiS.

So the final result is that only five parties in the Parliament, but PiS's majority is much smaller - they only have a handful of MPs over 50%.

Even with Kukiz'15 (the hoi-polloi party of the ex-rockman, which brought into the Parliament both a pot-smoking anarchist rapper, and a bunch of neonazis and their programme only says they want a "fundamental change" but without any details) they do not have the majority sufficient to amend the Constitution, which is good.

The remaining three parties are PO (moderate liberal, with some conservative undertones), Nowoczesna (liberal) and PSL (moderate conservative). PSL has suffered a few reputational defeats, though (in some areas, their most prominent MPs did not get enough votes - including their leader).

No social-democrats or socialists in the parliament though. No Korwin though, either.

In other words, the situation is far from stellar, but it is also far from disastrous.

[Martinus]

Anyways, I am seriously considering switching my allegiance to liberals. At least they are not proposing to tax me at 75% as one of the socialist parties proposed late in the elections. Even being able to marry would not offset that.

Your abandonment of your political views at the first touch with reality is entertaining.

Frankie Goes to Warszawa?

[The Brain]

Relax.

[Syt]

Don't do it.

I thínk "Greater Germany" is a bit over the top. I would describe it as "Great Germany".
