News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

MEPs going against their home country and their country's government? Only that rabble from Poland, That is a treason, no doubt about it.

Just to be fair, I want to remind you that it was PiS who used the EU against the Polish government for the first time. It was in 2014 when PIS, then in opposition, claimed and complained to the EU that the local governnment elections had been rigged by PO.

So, blame them for starting this tradition. :))

Are you sure he is going to take part in the election? I doubt it.

Yes, why not? He knows he has no chance, that is why he seems so relaxed and flippant.

a, he has a sponsor and he get about 4-6% votes b, he is on his own and he gets about 0,1 - 1% votes.

The same may refer to Bosak. I just read banks are refusing to give Konfederacja a loan for the campaign.
wprost.pl/wybory-prezydenckie-2020/10296325/wp-banki-nie-chca-udzielic-kredytu-na-kampanie-krzysztofa-bosaka-a-chodzi-tylko-o-600-tys-zlotych.html

but will Bosak manage to close the gap of almost double the support?

Some voters often take irrational decisions, they don`t care about programmes but take decisions based on emotions, e.g, what they personally feel about the candidate. And Bosak looks attractive. And he got married recently. If he doesn`t sound too controvercial during debates or meetings, he might attract voters who never thought of voting Konfederacja before.

That one is a joke? Who would vote on him? Holowia is another one with no chance

Yes, but we are not talking only about candidates with the biggest chance, we are discussing them all in general. :)

Biedroń certainly is able to gather about 10% of votes, rather no more. Bosak the same.

UK, Ireland / Polish People are Welcome in Scotland [54]

then Polish people who have settled in Scotland will be able to vote.

Thanks, at last sb answered my question. But can you say exactly if they will be able to take part as settled migrants after 5 years` stay or they need to be regular citizens coz I am curious about the legal regulations here.

Brexit is the beginning of the end for the Union.....

I was against it coz it broke the unity of Europe confronted with the Russian pressure. But now, when the deal is done, I have nothing against your independence after Brexit. Good luck! The English will have to suffer the consequences - only Wales will remain as the last element of their Empire! :)) The first and the last.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

Perfect - another candidate who will take some of Duda's votes in the first round!

Or it`s an intentional scam to mislead voters and Piotrowski will withdraw in the last minute and ask his supporters to vote for Duda. This will be widely publicised as an example of right wingers` unity and one of reasons to choose right.

Now all candidates have to collect 100.00 signatures from their supporters.

Other main candidates we haven`t mentioned yet:
Citizen Coalition - Kidawa Błońska.
Confederacy - Bosak
Left Alliance - Biedroń

I don't see any candidate that would really catch my attention but frankly speaking anyone has to be better than Duduś

If you could vote for anybody, who would it be? Just anybody from people we know from the media. Owsiak? Bogusław Linda?

It is unbelievable. 5 minutes after this thread was created another candidate appeared. Ex-PiS EU parliament member, now affiliated with Tadeusz Rydzyk. Mirosław Piotrowski - conservative Catholic. He openly declares he is going to attract voters dissatisfied with PiS which isn`t Catholic enough, e..g, about abortion.

History / Why are Poles/Poland disliked by Germans? [140]

The basis for motive is everything

That`s KGB`s and Stasi`s style which you seem to have adopted. In order to infiltrate the communist societies successfully, they needed to know the motivations of their citizens to prevent anti-system events. They believed that prevention is much better than fighting the actual occurence.

Why are you following their methods?

But why do you desire to know the OP`s reasons? Isn`t the mere discussion about the topic enough for you?

I am asking because you remind me of communist propagandists years ago, they also looked for hidden reasons of any activity they considered unusual.

Why are you resorting to communist methods? Are they your favourite ones? :):)

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2222]

I support a sensible centrist candidate...

Yes, not bad. I will vote him if he scrapes to the second round which isn`t so obvious.

Hołownia is a political non-entity,

I read he is supported by big business who want to make sure their President won`t stamp PiS` crazy economic ideas which badle affect enterpreneurs` profits.

wouldn't allow himself to be turned into a puppet by any political party leader.

Just like Hołownia and others I suppose, with one ignoble exception of Duda.

The campaign officialy started last Thursday. The elections are taking place on 10th May. PiS supported Andrzej Duda is the most popular candidate now.

Szymon Hołownia, a celebrity journalist who is starting for presidency had to apologise after massive criticism of his first campaign spot, which contained ironic allusions to Smoleńsk air crash. He says he didn`t notice those things in his spot.

PiS Senator Karczewski says Hołownia is finished and should withdraw after such a scandal.

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

such people as their chairman will be put on trial for their criminal acts one day.

Why? Destroying official documents is a crime. Ha! This man is finished. He will cease being not only a chairman of court but also a judge and lawyer.

I really don`t understand certain people who seem to really believe in 1000 years old PiS Reich.

Should just lock them up or fire them on the spot. It is getting ridiculous.

You know they can`t lock up or execute most independently thinking judges in Poland. They would lose all next elections in result. That is why I am so optimistic about PiS deform. It is going to fail with a big bang and all culprits will be prosecuted. I can`t wait. :)

They have free prescriptions, free university and free care homes.

Funny how the English are ready to pay over the odds to keep the remnants of the Empire. :)

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

The fight for independent judiciary goes on. More precise info: 31 judges in Olsztyn Regional court decided to appeal to their chairman to lift the suspension of their colleague. 2 judges were against the appeal, 4 abstained from voting. Can you imagine it? 31 against 6. That is why I am so hopeful about the future - if most courts and judges in Poland act so decently, we are saved. PiS can go to hell and there reform the devilish judiciary. :)

The latest news: EU is planning to punish PiS government with 2 million e fine a day for keeping their illegal Disciplinary Chamber working. One day is enough to sue all PiS politicians who led to this situation for causing financial losses to the state`s assets. The list of culprits will be quite long. I can`t wait... :))
