Of course if I would be Russian, then no sense to discuss with me. :) Listen to yourself, you are totally biased!
I feel sorry for you if you make such judgements reading tabloids, mysterious polls and profiled internet forums. I never claimed to be a specialist, one would need to live in Russia several years and be quite smart to earn such status. I don't belong to fools, however I never lived in this country.
Nevertheless I had a pleasure to cooperate with Russians and this was certainly positive experience. Of course I have met many idiots as well but I never described Russian nation to be perfect.
What I find suspicious about people like you is that unlike myself you claim to met only Russian idiots. I think this is because this is group of Russians that you searched for, so you had found them... Some people see only what they want to see.
You mean Pravda Online, Komsomolskaya Pravda or Pravda (mouthpiece of CP)? These are three unrelated sources.
I answered, because this is profiled forum which gather such posters and not other. I dare to say that GW forum doesn't represent views of Polish people in general. While if somebody from aboard would read comments in onet.pl, such person could think that Poles are mentally retarded. While hardly any adult person from Poland with minimum of reason is active over there.
This is true that they cannot write everything what they wish but this is not true that there is completely no space for any differences.
Are you Russian lesser ?
If "yes" then the case is closed for me.

The real question, plk, is, why aren't Europe and Asia one continent? Technically, they are. Eurasia is one piece of land with a few islands and penisulas. Maybe one day its name will change to represent its true form?

You exaggerate, Russian society to some extend have its little obsessions. People in other states are not much smarter for sure. One thing is sure, Poland don't belong to debated issues among average Russians duo to unimportance of this state and lack of interest in politics in general of people concentrated on everyday life. Even most of Poles give a damn about Polish politics.
I checked out both forums in the past. These are not reliable sources for sure, many obviously deluded posters prevent serious debates. Beside of that how could you wonder that many Russians posting over there have nothing positive to say about Poland? There is a bunch of Poles posting over there a lot of garbage and obviously provoking attention. If they see few Poles full of happiness that idiotic City Council, of the only capital in Europe (except Tirana) without ring road, commemorated some Chechen 'militant', that is how they consider other Poles as well. While people here care little about Chechen issue, if anything. There is visible fruitless clash of Polish and Russian ignorants.
Nothing has changed in Russia over 20 years, not a single thing, administratively, economically and socially its exactly the same country it was, the only difference is the official names for the administration have changed and the economy is in far worse shape since they're unable to drain neighbouring coutries.

News / Liga Polskich Rodzin- A worthy option? [56]
They could find plenty of such cheap excuses, it would be better to raise some fake but theoretically more important issue. However in this case nothing depends from Warsaw.
Not much, however they don't know much more about any other party. In modern times everything depends from media imagine, those who control most of media outlets are more likely to win (mediocracy). They create trends, views and cultural development in the society. There are very few people who are smart enough and willing to follow who is who. What is more many of them use this knowledge to achieve personal goals rather to try to solve the state. Also because they are aware that second option is utopian in mediocracy.
Abortion is anti-liberal per excellence. While LPR indeed is not liberal, neither any other mainstream party in Poland.
PiS wish to gather more voters, thus they are trying to avoid to make comments about issues considered to be controversial (of course except personal pushing with other mainstream parties). This is how political parties become part of the mainstream, they must hold hardly any views and if they do they must keep it in secret.
Kaczynski brothers manage to fool many voters, they will lose this support in my opinion. While homosexual "marriage" is hardly election issue in Poland. Currently this is all about PR battle between PiS and PO. This would be difficult to point out any particular issue that could play important role. It is all, a complete farce.
Nothing like this, simply PiS managed to attract these group of voters that voted for SO and LPR before.
Actually PiS achieved their main goal, I mean eliminated LPR and SO (which is certainly not right wing by any standards). LPR tried to keep this coalition as long as possible. Giertych tried to convince Lepper and Kaczynski to go on. He could not succeed because PiS had different plans from the start.
No, it is the media factor.
It depend what you call marginal, there will be always a place for national-minded party. You have NF in France, BNP in the UK, growing NPD in Germany. Berlusconi regularly ally his party with nationalists. I dare to say that all of above mentioned parties from big European states are much more controversial than LPR. So is Jobbik from Hungary, SNS from Slovakia or Ataka from Bulgaria. People in Poland lacking the wider picture and this is a fact that LPR belong to one of the softest nationally minded parties in Europe.
Maybe this brand has not great future but sooner or later under different banner with different people they will be back in Sejm.
Ownership structure, this is great secret. Once I have read a book of former journalist of Gazeta Wyborcza (Stanislaw Remuszko) and thus I know that these issues were kept in secret from the very beginning. However one cannot deny that they run highly pro-Jewish line. If Polish nationalists verbally clash with Jewish nationalist, it seems to be fair battle in my opinion with both sides being biased against each other.
I'm not against foreigners buying land as a rule but it should be monitored so for example Siergiei Comunistowski from Moscow doesnt buy land on an important energy route or that Russia doesnt use the pretext of its citizens property being harmed as justification of an invasion in the future, Poland is not UK we do not live on a comfy island.
They could find plenty of such cheap excuses, it would be better to raise some fake but theoretically more important issue. However in this case nothing depends from Warsaw.
So, how much do resident Poles know about LPR? Let's get back on track.

I think most people realised that it was idiocy to split the pseudo-Catholic Right vote and decided that PiS represented the best way to keep homosexuals from marrying. That, and the fact that the hard right wing parties discredited themselves.

A bit like Lepper and Self Defence. His scandal cost him dearly.
Nothing like this, simply PiS managed to attract these group of voters that voted for SO and LPR before.
To be honest, PiS were morons for going into coalition with them and LPR to begin with. They probably would've managed to survive for the whole term if they had tried to rule by consensus (ala what the SNP have done in Scotland) as opposed to needing to jump into bed with idiotic right wing parties in order to force through their policies. Certainly, some aspects of their manifesto would have been voted for by the SLD and others would have been voted for by PO - both of which would have gave them above 50%.
Actually PiS achieved their main goal, I mean eliminated LPR and SO (which is certainly not right wing by any standards). LPR tried to keep this coalition as long as possible. Giertych tried to convince Lepper and Kaczynski to go on. He could not succeed because PiS had different plans from the start.
Their desperation to rule by force as opposed to by consensus has probably cost them their chance of actually winning power in the next few years.
No, it is the media factor.
The LPR is a song of the past. Of course, it will have its supporters, but it will be unable to attract mainstream voters, thus to escape its fate of a marginal party
It depend what you call marginal, there will be always a place for national-minded party. You have NF in France, BNP in the UK, growing NPD in Germany.

These are very simple thruths and very simple political facts which make the discussion of a possible revival of the LPR fruitless and useless.

If you mean Agora, that company is not Jewish-owned. But why let facts get in the way of your bigotry?

LOL, this is one funny posts. I'm sure that you can recite all slogans made by this party but a whether a person who claims to know Polish politics should buy everything without any reflection? If I recall correctly recent elections were completely about quarrelling and no mainstream party tried to make any points linked with activity in EP. Apparently all of them are fine with moronic PR?
As far as relations between Brussels and PO are concentrated, the latter will do everything what is expected by the first. The lack of quarrel origin from personal interest of members of PO. They want well paid jobs in Brussels and this is everything that they find interesting. In communist Poland there were many members of Polish communist party that hold similar attitude. Membership was always profitable.
What are you writing about??? Buzek is being nowhere near leader of the EU. His role is something like Marshall of Sejm in Poland. I must mention here that till Treaty of Lisbon wont be ratified, EU Parliament have almost no influence.
While supposed strong Buzek, when he was Polish PM was rigthfully accused to be marionette in hands of AWS leader Marian Krzaklewski. I must admit that his current post is a good place for somebody with such experience of being marionette.
Anyway, Buzek has got what is famed for being one of the shittest jobs in Europe.

I don't think so, clearly you have no idea about polish politics reality, I don't mind, but still you shouldn't state something without having any knowledge about the subject. Buzek was mainly supported by PO party, a party of dialogue. There won't be anything like endless quarrels..

If we compare them with other parties, I cannot find any arguments to call them 'radical'.
Perhaps according to Polish standards they ally themselves with Russia. However in this country everybody who does not bi*tching over and over about 'Russian threat' is considered to be Russian ally.
Actually Giertych is one of the few people in this party who have some clue. However, what can he do if vast majority are political ignorants (so are their voters)? If he had at least some mainstream media outlets on his side, he could be still in mainstream politics.
Yet.
Of course not, the question arise whether in this case neighbour is stupid indeed?
Those who accuse Giertych that he is a fascist, usually claim that he have problem with the Jews. In fact nationalist crowds cannot forgive him that he gave some interviews when he looked like a sissy from their perspective.
To be honest, I remember you making few much more controversial comments about the Jews that Giertych ever did. Still, I don't think that you are a borderline fascist.

I agree early representative democracy was idealistic. They could harshly disagree because they had different visions. Today only cash is important. Look at recent EU elections, except of minor parties nobody raised any political issues. Mainstream parties spit on each other, people don't really understand why (the answer is to concentrate all attention) and they refuse to participate.
The only argument by some way connected with European politics was raised by PO. How they wanted to attract people? 'Vote for us because if more of our palls win seats, chances of Buzek to gain celebrity post are growing.' Only posts and what follow cash matters these days.
Pious platitudes about serving the people, bla-bla are no more than vote-grabbing gimmicks.

I got a laugh about verdict of Constitutional Tribunal of the Federal Republic of Germany regarding validity of treaty of Lisbon. Judges ruled out that Treaty of Lisbon is valid BUT German lawmakers must firstly put forward legislation that would state that German law is more important. It means that German parliament would need to accept every each regulation coming from Brussels.
How this case look like in Poland? Polish judges already treat European law to be more important than Polish constitution (aka famous case with extradition of several Polish citizens, before lawmakers changed Polish constitution with openly forbid such practices). Some prominent Polish judges speak openly about superiority of Treaty of Lisbon over Polish law.
This is exactly the difference between Polish and German political elites. I don't really admire current German politicians, they are populist and opportunistic. They don't care about interest of German taxpayer in long-perspective. At this point their attitude remind me Polish politicians and to be honest whole Europe and America as well. This is very weak side of democracy as a political system in general. However German elites at least think about their own particular interest in long perspective in opposition to most of others. I don't believe that politically nominated judges can be independent in such crucial matters like Treaty of Lisbon. It means that this is some kind of consensus among German political elites. In Poland the consensus is exactly opposite, apparently short term bribes and few seats in Brussels fully satisfy ambitions of Polish politicians. When I see such attitude, I only hate them more. If you are a bastard then at least try to be among the best! Polish politician are bastard, completely pathetic with wh*re mentality. Sorry that I used such strong words but this is true.
German elites are unwilling to allow others to meddle in German internal affairs. While different attitude visible in most of other EU member states gives them an opportunity to have much of influence over law systems outside of Germany. I must admit that this is diplomatic masterpiece. One treaty and two completely different interpretations.
I don't write all of this to stir anti-German sentiments. Hats off to German elites, because their stance is worth of respect. I write it to point out how miserable are Polish political elites in comparison with German elites whom don't represent any high quality after all.

There is no rival fractions in the EU, you can witness how vast majority of MEPs support European Commission. Those very few who don't mostly oppose the EU in general and are considered to be enemies by the rest. There is no debate, there is no democracy.
I want to destroy only overwhelming bureaucracy and bring back the EU to original version. I think about something like free trade and free travel zone. You could also claim that I want to destroy Poland because I oppose to appetite of central government as well.
Lisbon Treaty itself wont do that but general tendencies, I mean vocal support for abortion among eurocrats and extension of EU competences, lead me to conclusion that this might be just one treaty or regulation away.
It is not army but definitely move in this direction.
The Treaty foresees that member states can make available civilian and military resources to the Union for the implementation of its Common Security and Defence operations.
The number of Commissioners will be reduced from 27 to 18, so you can expect that the smallest states wont be awarded. In case of Ireland this is very possible. You would be really optimistic to think that such small states manage to have commissioner permanently.
Personally I don't care whether Poland have its own commissioner. I would even find this very funny if Poland would not be let to chose one commissioner.
- They claim that Lisbon Treaty will make the EU stronger and able to compete with other empires (China, the US, Russia). While inside of the treaty we can find totally socialist Charter of Fundamental Rights.
- They say that they oppose death penalty but Treaty of Lisbon re-establish death penalty in case of "war, riots, upheaval". This is pretty scary!
- They say that Treaty of Lisbon is shortened version of rejected constitution. In fact, it is even longer and much more complicated.
I demand transparency from everyone and, which may surprise you, I oppose current government in Brussels.

But instead of you, I believe in creating, and I believe we are able to live in peaceful, democratic and transparent Europe and I believe we can bring that change. You want to destroy everything. That's the difference between you and me.

I know reality and demand changes. There is a lot to improve here and this is possible if public pressure will be big enough. If you disagree, then I ask why do you think that democracy is needed?
Lesser, again I refer you to reality

I neither defend or support Ganley. I just point out to you double standards, because you doesn't seems to be even interested about complete lack of transparency in bureaucratic EU. You demand transparency only from your political opponents.
Name three for example. Such general statements bring nothing to discussion.
If you wish I can name few lies of EU establishment about Lisbon Treaty. Hopefully you are interested, so?

Transparency of source of his funds, they came from nowhere. He should also speak publicly about breaking Irish law by refusing to public sources of publish campaign. Unfortunately Irish law is too friendly for scum like him.

This is one of the mayor issues discussed endlessly in Polish-Lithuanian Parliamentary Commission. While western politicians also have very selective sensitivity. If Poles would be replace by homosexuals then I'm sure this case would be better known outside Lithuania.
Anyway, I don't advocate third states sticking its noses in Lithuanian affairs. It apply to Poland as well. I just point out obvious injustice as a independent political observer.
Property rights, it is sacred thing. Jews who can prove their rights should be given back property or be compensated. I don't belong to enthusiasts of international courts, this is just another institution controlled by those who push for centralised pan-European state. If such courts refuse to take cases of property rights then this is obvious that they are not independent, they are simply politically controlled. This is the best argument to discredit this idea.
I'm not Lithuanian citizen, this is not my problem.
LOL, Seanus you always must write in "democratic" elsewhere. I have write that this is the only respect deserving attitude in states which are not totalitarian. So, this is wider 'advice'.
Well, generally I oppose public education. However if anything then this is up to Polish state to serve Polish citizens. Lithuanian Poles don't belong to this group, while Polish Lithuanians do, they pay taxes here.
On the first point, how do you know that they don't, lesser? If it was so 'lawless',
as you put it, there would be much more international condemnation.

Property is so hard to adjudicate, lesser. Why do you think that an international property court hasn't heard any cases related to the property rights of Jews? It would open Pandora's Box (a can of worms), that's why. International relations would suffer.

Well, petition the Lithuanian government then, lesser.

I agree on your last point which is why we need to use our democratic rights to the max and not have everything diluted.

This is not something characteristic to democracy only. Native Lithuanians who wish their state stop being lawless should also criticize such practices.
If Lithuanian were given back their property and Poles otherwise, there is nothing to think about. Quite shocking example of ethic discrimination.
This would be practical in Turkmenistan. Lithuania, these are completely different circumstances. Their goal can be obtained quite quickly.
I understand that you would tolerate your own state being lawless. I'm not so tolerant as far as pathologies in Poland are concentrated. The least you can do is to criticize everything what is wrong.
This is impossible for any state to become ideal but its citizens should never stop to push developments in this direction. This is the only respect deserving attitude of a citizen in a state which is not totalitarian.
Criticism is normal in democracy, people can speak out. Poles can do the same there.

Why was there a lack of re-privatization in your opinion, lesser?

I was being practical, lesser. If you can't orchestrate change from within, you need to read Desiderata. 'God give me the courage to accept the things I cannot change'. It's not an autocracy/totalitarian regime there, lesser, they can bring change about.

I don't think so, such states deserve to be criticized by their own citizens in first place.
Read previous posts, lack of re-privatization to ethnic Poles for example.
I have write that this is natural reaction, this is nothing wrong in this case.
Sorry but this is ridiculous advise that one could provide also to Jews in Third Reich. They are Lithuanian citizens and what is more native population. Lithuanian state acts against its own constitution.
Isn't that the case in most countries, lesser? Do you really believe that local politics work well in most countries?

What form is this 'discrimination' taking?

Facing a fact that Lithuanian government is discriminating them because their are Poles is only natural to build support basic on nationality.
Whats wrong with it?

For the same reason why PSL is silly party. They care only about votes either Poles or peasants. Voters views in this case are less important than same fact of them being Poles or peasants.
This is natural reaction when you see yourself discriminated by government.
Why silly?
