News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]

you don't understand me, but you are justified to be honest - I don't care about women's retirement age tbh (so I don't mind either keeping it the way it is now or raising it) - my 'prayer' was just a figure of speech

-against raising it for anyone above 65

I never said that - I said the question is bright and clear - and if the referendum was valid and people voted NO the government would be legally bound not to ever raise the retirement age in any form (or until another referendum)

I hope you realize the retirement age for men IS 65

anyway if the referendum on that particular question was passed (I mean people voted NO) there should be no raising of retirement age in any form - isn't it clear for you

she explained it to you why referendum questions should be more specific

to me the question was bright and clear - btw equalising retirement ages in Poland means either raising or lowering of retirement age for a part of the population - there is no third way about it

Because you should give specific.

why be specific? please explain

How did PiS propose to fund retirees

if my memory serves me correctly in the referendum concerning joining the EU the question was simple "Are you for Poland joining the EU" - noone has asked about hidden cost of the joining that affected many small business and some sectors of the agriculture

they need to start attracting younger voters

they need to give up on those voters actually at least until those voters hit some kind of hard bottom thanks to 'business-friendly' policies of PO and company - or rather give up on those voters thoroughly because when they taste 'liberal' econimic policies they will turn to Lewica

It was also bending the rules of voting secrecy

the illegal incedents of asking people if they want the referendum sheet by numerous members of electoral committees in bigger cities violated the secrecy in the same manner - how about that?

the voters showed it by not voting.

the voters rejected the referendum because opposition parties and opposition media told them to and because of the herd instinct, if you want to know my opinion

you don't understand what that referendum was about

yeah the referendum was about retirement age, government being able to selling state-owned companies, and letting in illegal immigrants according to Brussel's demands - if you find these topics unimportant then I congratulate you (you must have more important political issues on your mind then)

It's written by a Pole. He's a professor at the University of Warsaw

it's demonizing PiS, simples (a bandit with a knife - as if PiS threatens anyone apart from a narrow elite that wants to feed on the poor)

any referendum!

your arrogant sarcasm only speaks about you - the referendum issues were important to about 40 per cent of those eligible to vote - some of the questions in the referendum were a nail to the coffin of PO in 2015 elections (the retirement age)

Tusk is the new viceroy of Brussels in PL

Even a few more points for PiS won't make a difference -

if PiS has about 42 per cent vote (which is doubtful tbh) they are going to have a majority in Sejm - FYI

Please don't insult me with "even one is too many".

you don't understand the perspective (especially female perspective) of those who don't believe in life after death (especially those who don't believe in reincarnation)

One outlier per million should never be the reason why abortions should be allowed.

I hope you do believe in reincarnation, though

How will Polish women vote in tomorrow`s ballot

according to IPSOS exit poll roughly the same percentage of men and women voted for PiS - FYI

there was a 3 percent

I think it can be even bigger in Poland as (as I previously said) about 20 per cent of voters approached by IPSOS pollsters refused to answer the poll

neak around the corridor and pretend not to hear the pollster calling them.

I heard on TV that 20 per cent of the approached voters refused to answer the poll

Poland is no more
drama queen...

you are not following European politics - if PO and company are able to form a government Europe will probably turn into a federation and then you will NEED to learn about European politics (most probably the hard way)

opposition has a majority!

it is an exit polls by IPSOS - from what I read IPSOS said there is about 2 per cent margin of uncertainty with their exit polls

That way PIS can enact any legislation they like on the basis that 'the people don't want referendums

nomsense :P

Love those Polish metaphors...

these are not Polish metaphores: the article is on a German website (and the passage is nonsense - completely idiotic analogy demonizing PiS)

the NYT mentioned it on the first page of the International Section

NYT had written nonsensical garbage about Poland in the past so it's no surprise

do you believe a biased Amercian soruce or a American source on the ground in Poland in the form of mafketis
