Poland Parliamentary elections 2015

Even now, Comrade Polonius3 is at work with his thesaurus to properly excorciate the pseudo-Prussian anti-patriotic hochstaplers of Posen. All offenses to the party must be eradicated!

:D

Funny you should say that though - they want to re-run the 2014 local elections. In other words, they know that they're going to be faced with very hostile local administrations in places such as Poznań and Warsaw - so they want to try and put their people in power off the back of this win.

And people believe that they stand for democracy?

Polonius, if your beloved Polonia stopped sending charity to poor relations and came and contributed with their brains and their brawn, Poland would develop faster. You call my point nitpicking. I call your defence of decidedly unpatriotic hypocrites blinkered, and just because they are, by and large, extreme conservatives like you.

That's certainly an interesting viewpoint. But it means that a failure to vote to vote PIS means a person is utterly lacking in patriotism for Poland. Can you remind us whether you voted for PIS?


Funny that you consider Polish nationality to be just a bureaucratic scrap of paper. Do you also consider ballot papers to be bureaucratic scraps of paper and that is why you have so little interest in them?

I think it's worth pointing out that the "poor" relations are often living in very nice places these days. The perception is still that Poland is a very poor country, but anyone looking on Google Street View can see how nice many farming villages actually are.

For instance - google.pl/maps/@49.5239812,18.8570921,3a,75y,123.36h,80.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2r6Jwj3UUqkxOOzLuZgJDw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1?hl=en

Such simplistic remarks suggest that you lack both. Like all people, Polonians are involved in many different personal, family, social and business arrangements. You'd want these people to abandon their spouses and children, homes, jobs and businesses, drop everything, pack up and return to Poland and....go on the dole, would you? The fact that for no tangible personal advantage they even take the trouble and endure to hassle of voting, which often means quite a trip to the nearest Polish Consulate, is in itsllf admirable and commendable.

To all except mean-spirited, petty-minded nitpickers!

The Polish voter decided for the first time since 1990 to give full power to a single party. The PO also had full power with its hayseed sidekick PSL.

No, 18% of Poles voted for PIS, a percentage of Polish adults quite similar to the percentage of Polish adults who were members of the communist party back in the day. So one needs to ask whether allowing a small minority to dictate what the overwhelming majority can and cannot do is a common Polish character trait.

Even less people voted for PO and yet you voiced no objections when that party has been in power for the last eight years.

Firstly, PO were not in power, they were part of a coalition.
Secondly, the PIS government received 5,711,687 votes; the PO/PSL coalition won 6,831,401 votes in 2011 (5,629,773 and 1,201,628) and 8,138,648 (6,701,010 and 1,437,638).
Why do you bother with such pointless lies that are so easy to show to be lies?

Are you saying that 5,711,687 < 6,831,401 is a lie? wow
