US Polonia 70% for Kaczyński [343]
z_dariusTheir input into the country was in the past all the same. They retain the right to move back to Poland as Polish citizens though many boycott that right, why then should they have the right to vote? Why should they have the right to choose a government that governs other people and not themselves? How would they truly know what will be the effect of their vote if they are not living in that country that is governed by the people they voted for?
I don't think that it's ironic to have an opinion on the voting system in Poland because I have actually lived in Poland probably longer than a lot of Polonian Americans have. Therefore I would know the effects of what certain political parties would bring if they got into government. I would know that first-hand, rather than from second or third-hand information.
Point is that if you want to vote in Poland, maybe it would be a good idea to actually go back and live in that country. Being a part-time Pole serves no purpose to anyone who lives in Poland.
Spending someone else's money?
Does that matter? It's still a political problem in the first place why that person is on welfare. And being a political subject that person has the right to vote, maybe if he does vote he could actually change something about his situation. That my friend is called Democracy, if he hadn't the right to vote, if it was based on how much tax someone pays, then no American Pole would be able to vote at all.
A lot of people live full time outside of Poland while maintaining their presence in the country
For example?
