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.
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.
LPR opposes it. That's one part that doesn't fit the liberal agenda...So, Seanus, it's easy to see why you would think they want to legalize it ;)
Abortion is anti-liberal per excellence. While LPR indeed is not liberal, neither any other mainstream party in Poland.
PiS have modernised and this is why they commanded more support.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
These are very simple thruths and very simple political facts which make the discussion of a possible revival of the LPR fruitless and useless.
Maybe this brand has not great future but sooner or later under different banner with different people they will be back in Sejm.
If you mean Agora, that company is not Jewish-owned. But why let facts get in the way of your bigotry?
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.
