News / Poland Parliament elections in October 2011 [944]

He is simply not trusting of the media.

You read too much into it. The man is a coward, the bruising encounter between Tusk and Komorowski from previous encounters was very fresh in his memory, when it comes to debates the media is quite objective-only losers and cowards use that excuse.

I will have go, and see how it turns out(:

now you see that is known as self deprecation, I am telling you this because this a very unfamiliar attitude among PIS types, so you might not have come across this term before(:

He is a smart man

He is not, he is quite dumb actually, and completely lacking in emotional intelligence-thus totally unable show empathy to the average voter. That is why he did not mingle with normal people during the campaign-like Tusk, or dared to take Tusk on in a debate.

His greatest weakness however is that he is completely self centered, and he does not do self deprecation.

Please name the 5 core values of each major party

Above everything else PO is a pragmatic party suspicious of grand ideology. Their fundamental belief is based on the inherent worth of the individual. they believe in society, but they do not believe that society is the same thing as the state. Specifically their leader Tusk, is an inclusive politician willing to utilize the talents of all willing people from across the political spectrum for the benefit of the country, as an individual he is suspicious of people who have a grand design and one size fits all policy for everything.

As for PIS they only have two real guiding principle, oppose everything the government does on principle, and do everything at all cost to get in power-including the shameless trumpeting of nationalism and shrouding themselves in the flag. They are willing to debase the very coinage of patriotism for self promotion, and they give all real patriots a bad name by doing so in the process.

You do seriously believe PO holding all the major offices would actually support that ? Are you 3 years old ? You both are clueless about real politics.

Yes they would it was in their program, they promised to to abolish state funding for political parties, and they have manged to cut it by 1/2 despite the opposition of PIS who wanted their snouts to remain firmly in the trough. This shows that they are genuine about reform, so why shouldn't I believe them?

and I believe we need a Senate - it often had to block really terribly written bills

It's nothing more than a rubber stamp doing the lower houses' bidding (it's not fulfilling its function as a house of review), it should be gone-besides the actual chamber looks awful.

The number of members of the Sejm should be cut by 60 from 460, the new total should be 400. The sejm goes for the number of regional assemblies and local councils.

Only PO and Palikot can make this happen. PIS types generally have very little business experience, and rely on the state for their existence.

Shows perfectly intelectual ability of typical PO fanatic :))

yea, I bet you love it(:

Remember what Sikorski said, that PIS members must learn to love their country and their government.

so learn to love it biatch(:

Motto of the week:
"Sooner or later we will win, simply because we are right" - the steadfast and charismatic leader of the Resistance, the Miraculously Survived Chairman-Prime Minister-Almost President Jarosław Temporarily-Altered-Kaczyński

I love it(:

enough to win 1/3rd of the seats, so they will be able to block constitutional reform. However, it doesn't seem impossible that a few people will defect from PiS.

Damn, I hope not, i want to see a reduction in the number of MP's and maybe the abolition of the senate):

Luckily thanks to the sensibility of everyday Poles, this nightmare has come to fruition.

I should say not come to fruition, I am sure everybody knows what I am on about.

Would you believe I actually went to vote to our local "Klub Polski" here downunder, and they told me that I had to register 2 weeks prior for them to prepare for my vote. So as it turns out, surprisingly me and my friends (ahem, my friends and I) would have been the only PO voters, and all other people there were for Kaczor. Our group ended up goin to the pub, after having 2 Warka Strongs, good times.

Oh well, at least you you will know for next time(: I hope you made a toast for PO

Ah well, we can look forward to another 3 years of total PO dominance

three more years!
precz z Kaczynskim!

Not the best of news according to wyborca PO has lost some ground, but at least PSL has made up some extra ground, so it's not all bad. Hopefully they can reach their initial prediction of 39%, and things will be good(:

PO received in Sunday's parliamentary elections, 39.18 percent .; PiS - 29.89 percent .; the third Palikot's Movement - 10.02 percent . PSL is 8.36 percent . votes, and the Democratic Left Alliance - 8.24 percent . - The official election results announced NEC at 21.30 on Monday after counting of votes with 100 percent. circuits. The turnout was 48.85 percent .

There is still about 35% of the vote to be counted.

USA, Canada / US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]

Once again the American Polonia has shown it has a better grasp of what is good for Poland. Their Old Country brethren, mesmerised as they are by PO's clever political marketing, image-mongering and glib rhetoric, have once again fallen prey to slippery, tricky Don & Co.

Yea right cowboy, the Poles should take no lessons from the land of Hickdom, I would much rather go with what the sophisticated voters of the UK say every single time(:

Ah well, we can look forward to another 3 years of total PO dominance

PiS is a weak political party and PO is a gang of (at least regarding leadership) imbeciles, traitors and criminals.

Projecting.

No, a lot of their front rank consist of individuals who made themselves successful outside of Poland, and have come back to give back something to their country. Unlike somebody I can think of.

In most democratic countries voting is compulsory, you should stop making up the rules as you go along...its time for a reality check and realise that most Poles are not even bothered...why should outsiders like you even bother...

Australia has compulsory voting, and everybody hates it! forcing people to vote smacks of totalitarianism. Poles didn't overthrow communism just to be told to what to do, thinking otherwise reflects old communist mentality.

I also seriously hope that tranny will make it into Sejm

The only thing that is sick, is your inability of tolerating difference.

Imagine PiS somehow made it 1% ahead of PO

Luckily thanks to the sensibility of everyday Poles, this nightmare has come to fruition.

So what do you think, should Kaczynski stay as leader so the mental geriatric show continues into the future, or should they get themselves a new leader, and who might that new leader be?

Not true, there are still European countries which have both higher taxes and higher debts than Poland. But as PO pursues its reformist agenda for a couple more years - I'm sure we will get there!

Stop you dishonest game, the election is over. I already pointed out to you that PIS was and is in favor of far bigger spending than PO.

What point are you trying to get across?

Ironside, for an intelligent person, you you come across as a economic illiterate. The taxpayers don't get ripped off when state assets are sold, quite the opposite, the burden on the budget becomes lesser.

And I repeat if fiscal rectitude is such a concern of yours, then i take you support Ruch Palikota-because they are the most keen on cutting the budget to size?

Please Ironside, from an intelligent person like you I would expect a bit of intellectual consistency, do you know what total did the PIS pre election promises add up to?

Answer: WAY MORE THAN PO

To take your reasoning to its logical conclusion, I take it you would vote for Ruch Palikota-because they are the most keen on cutting the budget to size?

Amazing, isn`t it?

It is in a way. I believe that PIS is the modern incarnation of Targowica- albeit an unsuccessful one(:

Look at the parallels a new modern Polish sate pursuing a reformist agenda and making headway, which is in some cases ahead of its European counterparts, and there is the other party sowing discontent, and questioning the legitimacy of the government.

Are you delirious?

No my friend what I am currently experiencing is reality, last time I checked Platform had actually won the election, so I don't believe that is delirium.

Remember that the Targowicans saw themselves as true patriotic Poles, defending ancient Polish traditions and liberties-just like PIS.

I can assure you that when I get the vote here, I'll vote in every single election. I can't imagine not doing so - when you think about how much blood went into getting a free vote, it would be an utter insult not to do so.

I love that sentiment, and BTW congrats on making the most accurate election predictions(:

Who did you vote for? Oh sorry, I forgot, you can't vote!
You know who else can't vote in Polish elections? Kids and criminals.

Given the amount of bile you spew, you have to be a PIS supporter. Please say yes and don't disappoint me.

Dreadful result for PiS too - only 37.9 in Lubelskie is pathetic for them.

what was their previous result? I wonder how they did in Silesia, given what Kaczynski said about silesians. looking at that map the silesians voted strongly in favor of PO(:

Well the fact is that all the other parties apart from PO wanted to spend more, So who would you suggest Pawian should have voted for?

If exit polls are confirmed, the PO-PSL coalition will be able to go on.

I hope that my favorite PO candidates managed to get across the line.

Yes, it must so disappointing for you):
Why didn't everybody listen to our dear leader Kaczynski?

Perhaps it's because most Poles don't subscribe to Nationalism For Simpletons. Or the Targowica form of patriotism.

This is a victory for hope. It is a triumph of hope against discontent and pessimism.
It is a victory of personal courage over cowardice.
In this election the truth triumphed over dishonesty.
This one's for the the true believers, it is the sweetest one of all.

Life / Looking to immigrate to Europe. How is life in Poland? [116]

3500 zlotych

A week? That's pretty good if it is per week.

I wish you the very best of luck if you do end up moving to Poland. Having lived in SA for around 10 years (I was born in Poland), I can honestly say that South Africans are some of the most honest, hospitable, and straightforward people you would ever wish to know-true salt of the earth and a hardy people with big hearts. They are what you would call regte Boere (:

I currently live in Australia, but having been thinking about Poland. Come to think of it Poles and Afrikaners have quite a few similarities. The Poles have been carving out civilization in the east, and the Afrikaners have been doing it in the south, and both can be a hardy lot.

Life / Polish Werewolves [30]

The Poles have their were-wolves, which rage twice in the year--at Christmas and at midsummer.

Yep, I can testify to this, his name is Kaczynski, and once in awhile he changes into one and then back again, although for the most part he is a werewolf, or at least he behaves like an undomesticated dog.

News / Predicitng Poland's parliamentary election, 2011? [12]

strangely enough more and more people might be voting for Palikot.

That is what they are saying when they are asked, but I doubt they have the discipline to turn up when it actually counts. I think his electorate is quite soft and his numbers are exaggerated by 2-3%.
