My own opinion on Palikot is that he's a clown and badly suited toward any serious kind of work in government. Think of Lepper with better table manners.
I also kind of assume the whole 'ruch Palikota' thing was to deal with disaffected young voters.
I deal with young educated people all the time. Overwhelmingly they
- don't like PiS
- don't like PO much better (they dislike PO less than they dislike PiS is the best way to put it)
PO types realized they needed a haven for youth protest votes (since youth support for PO is mostly negatively oriented) or they would probably go with SLD. Thus, the Palikot movement!
And it largely worked. For all his faults he was saying some things that the 'beton' of all the other parties couldn't / wouldn't say.
RP won't be able to do anything in the Sejm and probably won't be part of a coalition and the element of youthful rebellion is successfully dealt with and quashed.
