My friend whilst your knowledge of history is very good, your knowledge of politics is deeply lacking. And I find it really troubling that you guide your politics on the basis of your heart and not your mind. So I am not going to try to convince you by force of reason anymore, but make one last appeal to your heart:
I beg of you for god's sake give Poland a chance, and if you can't bring yourself to vote for PO, then please vote for PJN, or not not vote at all. I cannot abide by the thought that PIS could govern again and Kaczynski could potentially be Poland's PM again. from one patriot to another, please listen.

You still haven't answered the above question.
So how does the PIS stance differ from PO on this issue? And is this your only point of difference?
You do realize that if PIS had its way Poland would be more in debt don't you. And you do realize that it is PO who wants to reduce the number MPs and not PIS, and you do realize that PIS voted against a reduction in party funding by the taxpayer?
Can you name one differences between SLD and PIS on their respective approach to economic matters?
Are you a socialist?
Its about the promotion of Poland internationality, in an EU meeting of finance ministers who do you think will be the most able to get their point across, somebody who relies on interprets or somebody who speaks your language?
So you want mind if they happen to have absolute morons running the show, provided they agree with?
Whilst you mentioned that you don't listen to the news, I am quite surprised, I wasn't aware that you are a fan of conspiracy theories.
I see so you would prefer a Putin type, as opposed to someone who governs according to the norms of cabinet government on the basis of primus inter pares, and abides by the collective decision making process. Surely that is more in accordance with Poland's political traditions, no?
And no you are wrong, he has sacked people before, like the former justice minister and quite few undersecretaries, for instance the undersecretary for transport. The difference is that he does not sack on the basis of a personal vendetta.
And tell me, do you think it is wise entrusting the country to a man who by his own admission wasn't thinking straight during the presidential election because he was on drugs? How do you thing international leaders will treat a man like that, do you thing Poland's standing in the world will rise?

I don't see how they can be carefully considered seeing as you choose to block nearly all sources of information, You can listen to the media and deploy your inbuilt crap detactor at the same time can't you?
In my experience people who pretend to be the biggest patriots, tend to be the first to turn tail when patriotism really counts. And in Poland I find that a lot of people who cloak themselves in patriotism, usually are individuals with a lot of personal deficiencies and who use patriotism to cover those up.

That seems to be a bit of a problem, because that means that you are not a very well informed individual, who seems to base his political instincts on a hunch, or to be more precise you seem to be willing to cast your vote for someone who shouts the loudest. No offence, but for someone who seems to be a bit of a smart guy, you do come across as really obtuse and incapable of change on this issue.
So in all seriousness, which particular PIS polices appeal to you so much?
Your conclusion would be wrong, it is PO who wants to implement faster reforms and is impatient for faster change. PIS on the the other hand is determined to preserve the present situation, as evidenced by the late president's determination to block every PO reform. And the recently announced PIS policy of slowing and in some cases blocking privatization.
Is it really such a bad think to behave in a mature way and desire better relations with your neighbors in your eyes?
Setting aside ideological differences, no matter what ideology you have you have to have the administrative abilities and political talent to bring about change, which is the same principle for any organisation. So my question to you is, where are the talented PIS people to implement their policies and govern the county competently?
Can they find a finance minister who is fluent in 4 different languages, has experience of working in other countries and has two doctorates to his name, one of which happens to be in economics from the London School of Economics?
Can they find a Foreign minister, who has strong connections to the States and the UK, whose wife bats on his behalf in the American papers and has close connections to the US government? A minister who happens to have a very interesting life, as you can find out, if you bother to read one of his books. And who happens to be quite respected on the EU political scene.
And what do you think of that great PIS idea of pumping money into the economy during the crisis, which PO rejected, and which would have meant the Poland would probably resemble another Spain or Portugal today. Would you still be such a great PIS supporter if they had their way and the idea was implemented?
Finally do you feel comfortable supporting a party that is beholden to the whims and decisions of one man, who sacks anybody who happens to disagree with him?
I have also noticed that mass media clouded for a time being even my judgement, what to say about lesser minds.:)

A good example, funny though because when it comes to issues of petty corruption, PIS seems to top the list. I remember an investigation into the rorting of travel expenses by members of parliament, and low and behold if memory serves me right, the top 5 were members of PIS.
Another example of PIS is their irrepressible approach to politics, I was so angry when Macierwicz called Klich-the Defence Minister a traitor.
Or when Hoffman said that PO was trying to build its politics on the Katyn lie, just like the Soviets had done. To even make that comparison....... it's just lower than low.
I felt the same as Olbrychski-the actor, in wanting to publicly punch them in the face (publicnie po mordzie bic)

A PO policy which PIS does not support-cos they are self interested and the PIS pigs want to keep their snouts in the troth.
2. PO voted in favor of a reduction in Party funding by the taxpayer by 50%, and PIS voted against the policy because the PIS pigs wanted to keep their self interested snouts in the troth.
