News / Have PO (Platforma) operatives in Poland fallen into a panic? [332]

As successive polls show PiS in the lead, there are predictions of a possible 40% backing which would allow them to go it alone in government, PO operatives, often referred to collectively as Lemingrad (the part of Wilanów many of them inhabit), have fallen into a panic. In a last-ditch attempt to avert their electoral knockout they are dredging up dirt on PiS and trotting out the IV RP scare. Their elite forming "the arrangement" (układ) have made themselves a cozy nest during 8 years of PO rule and are now scrambling to size up post-election options. The "arrangement" is comparable to a 4-sided bridge table: corrupt liberal/post-communist politicians; shady businessmen; mercenary media; and individuals with links to past and present special services. Lemingrad naturally deny that any such "arrangement" even exists, claim everything is super democratic, above board and hunkydory (adding under their breath "as long as we are at the trough"). Ordinary Poles, however, can plainly see the PO regime has been very beneficial to a narrow elite of bankers, corporations and collaborationist media, but not to the average Pole. All indications are that Adam Nowak and Anna Kowalska aim to rectify the situation at the ballot box.
