News / Poland Parliament elections in October 2011 [944]

=delphiandomine]polling station

It is 9 pm.

First results:

PO- 39.6%

PiS- 30

SLD- 7.7

PSL- 8.2

Palikot- 10.1

None other enters.

Good for PO!

There were quite a lot of people at the voting outlet. Most of my neighbours had already voted when I came.

Does it mean the turnup is going to be over 60%?

The highest turnup is in Lesser Poland voivodship. Krakow rules! :):):)

=nahummer]but the rest of my thoughts for today's election are on my blog -

I don`t have time to visit your blog. Either post your thoughts here for common discussion or get lost.

Guys living in US, UK and AUS. How do you vote in national elections in your countries? Do you put an X or a tick next to the name?

Polish tradition is X.

What is yours?

PS. We are going voting. Kids are excited and can`t wait.

I agree. Besides, people can vote Palikot in only one election district. In others, his party`s candidates are put forward. Most of them are accidental tourists. Will they gather as much support as Palikot himself? I doubt it.

I still believe Palikot Support Movement won`t cross the line.

=hague1cmaeron]I find that one quite funny, is this for a Krakow candidate?

Nope, the guy is from Tarnów. My family member who lives there brought me that detergent.

=Des Essientes]I don't understand the last billboard pictured above. How and why is an exhibition of Turner's seascapes associated with an electoral candidate and/or political party?

It is simple. The elements play a significant role during elections in Poland. When it is rainy, only the most determined go.

My family and me are like that. We will go to vote, even if Krakow is struck with freak hurricane called Putin and a massive earthquake called Katusha.

=MyMom]American Polonia has already started voting

Yes, I was surprised to find out that American time zone is ahead of ours. I thought it was the opposite.

So, guys with Polish passports, how did you vote?

I think that is completely unacceptable, public transport is a neutral place, isn't it?

Law allows to hire space on public transport and put advertisements there.

Look at Krakow tram which originally was blue:

I stick to my earlier prediction.

Polish Parliament elections in October 2011

PO wins over PiS though only by a few percent. SLD and PSL get some seats too. Palikot and other don`t.

=Polonius3]Many of the more slouchy PO types regard Sunday as mainly a day to sleep in, and bad wetaher may keep them housebound and less likely to venture out.

You have never met a PO type, then. :):):)

A few photos of mine:

Poles deserve more - Respectable work and pay - by PiS.

I always consider it funny when PSL guys (farmer party) advertise in big cities like Krakow.

In communism, during elections, party bosses supplied shops/stalls with sausage and other scarce products to make people go out of home and vote. Hence, the term election sausage came into being. Today, sausage is replaced by toiletries. :):):):)

Put a stop to dirty politics!

My candidate - a Krakow conservative representative of libertarian PO, Jarosław Gowin, No 3.

Trustworthy

What outrage do you mean? I am perfectly relaxed.. :):):)

In every third post of yours you mention climate agreements and their unfavourable outcome for Poland. You suggest it is Tusk and PO`s government fault.

You remind me of Kaczyński and his strategy of raising fearful emotions by rumour and understatement.

Read this article from 06. 2011

euobserver.com/7/32570

If anybody in the EU had any illusions about how stern Poland's resistance to the EU climate policy can get, a reality check came on June 22.

Poland opposed all the other EU countries to block the conclusions of the EU environmental ministers council. Were it not for Poland's opposition, the council would have adopted stricter carbon emission targets, endorsing the commission's 2050 Roadmap calling for a 40 percent cut in carbon emissions by 2030, a 60 percent cut by 2040 and a 80 percent cut by 2050, compared to 1990 levels.


The Polish energy industry has to be modernised anyway. So, what is your point abiut climate agreements?

The Polish energy market is currently at a crossroads. While almost 85 percent of electricity is produced from coal, two thirds of installed coal capacity is older than 30 years, and one third is almost 40 years old. According to the Public Consultancy Board for the National Programme of Emission Reduction, more than 7 GW of ageing generation capacity (almost 20 percent of total currently installed capacity) will have to be taken out of operation by 2015.

Life / Can many young Poles speak German? [72]

=KingAthelstan]Just wondered if German (after English) has replaced Russian as a 2nd/3rd foreign language people learn?

Yes. High school final exam language preferences prove it. English- 80%. German - 15%. Other languages - 5%.

Gumishu, Hague is right again. Sorry. :):):):)

I find it most fascinating that the German issue is going to play a role in Polish elections. Again.

In 2005, one of PiS propagandists declared that Tusk`s grandfather served in Wehrmacht during WW2. It tarnished PO`s leader`s reputation, and in result, he lost both presidential and parliament elections. PiS came to power.

I was afraid that this time PiS would spring up with another "grandfather." No.

Kaczyński only talks about Angela Merkel:

1. In his latest book he implies that her election for Chancellor wasn`t accidental. Besides, he claims that Germany is dangerous to Poland etc.
2. Asked by Newsweek journalists to eleborate on his vague statements, he said during an interview: She knows what I wanted to say. That is enough.

After a journalist`s question: Do you mean she was supported by Stasi? he answered: Let`s leave this topic.

On a press conference later on, when reporters tried to receive some kind of explanation, he asked one of them if he worked for Polish or German media.

Do you think it is going to help PiS or quite the opposite?

I hope that Poles realise that Germany is our important partner who has a significant say in European structures and may decide about many things, crucial for Poland. If Kaczyński becomes a PM, again Polish German relations will be frozen.

Isn`t it high time to drop that maniac, haunted by his little obsessions? :):):):)

BTW, latest poll: Poland political parties poll

But that will be a typical reaction of PiS leaders if they lose. Someone has to be blamed, that is Kaczyński`s way of dealing with failures.

Life / Are Polish people so chaotic and disorganized like Germans say? [89]

Yes, it is true.

But it doesn`t necessarily mean only advantages. Apart from being an asset, perfect organization can be a curse too.

E.g., chaotic Poles would never be able to start two world wars and organize the Holocaust.

Perfect Germans managed to carry them out successfully, indeed, but they are going to pay for it till the end of the world.

A hilarious advert by Ruch Palikota at 18:44. I must say it crosses some boundaries but it is very funny(:

Other clips:

SLD female candidate is strip teasing you to vote for her:
...

PO`s latest clip which shows PiS` supporters in action and poses a fundamental question: They are going to vote. What about you?

Poe. Did you contrast/compare him to Beaudelaire? They're of the same ilk.

Yes.
