Liga Polskich Rodzin- A worthy option? [56]
They represent all manner of sins and that's a tragic irony
Well, from what I've made out of them, they would have to rid themselves of a few of their more 'ancient' policies, and modernize a few more. I'm sure they would still have appeal, because the far majority of Poles are conservative in their leanings.
Anti gay-marriage is one policy that is popular, and not only in LPR agenda.
Abortion-Euthanasia even are about split.
Capital punishment? Land ownership? Probably the least popular..
LPR's problem is that they have a very weak image in media. They are made a laughing stock because of newspapers/magazines and privately owned television outlets.
Worst amongst them being Jewish owned Angora.
The LPR was created just before the elections in 2001 and gained 8%.
In the 2004 elections to the European Parliament LPR received 15,2 % votes, which gave it 10 out of 54 seats reserved for Poland in the European Parliament. This made the LPR the second largest party in Poland in that election, second only to the liberal conservative Platforma ObywatelskaIn the 2007 elections LPR again received 8% of votes, but saw its seats reduced from 38 to 34.I couldn't find any recent election results. It seems that constant pressure from media outlets have caused the party to start decaying, slightly. My guess is that the European Parliament elections gave many liberals a scare. 15% is no small achievement.
