News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2223]

I am considering voting for Hołownia in the first round, to support independent voices. If Hołownia makes it to the second round I am unsure on the outcome. , so I suggest the bet should be rendered null and void. But the payout odds on that occurring would be quite high :)

They are all conceptually different from handouts

Depends on the return of investment. If you provide welfare to people who previously had no purchasing capacity, most of the money would flow back into the economy. A whole new class of consumers who were previously below the poverty line. That Polands GDP growth have been surprisingly high since 500+ is no coincidence.

as for neolib mafketis inane comments, he is proof of spikes theory that PO voters can vote for Konfederats, as they get hardons about small government and taking benefits from the poor. But also demonstrates that we can't trust PO not to slash the social and health spending as there are many people like mafketis in the party.Cheating the goverment out of tax, using the goverment built highways and complaining about handouts to other people.

I'm happy to keep it but we shouldn't be promising more handouts

Progress.. You sound like a PolAm as well. Only that culture uses the term 'handouts' UK and Aus use 'benefits'. Why not? because we can't afford it? The world has gone back to Keynesian stimulus. We should be doing what spain just did.

Will also massively boost consumption and the economy.

Better to let some people die of the virus, than to let everyone starve to death from unemployment.

As I said You PolAms don't understand how Goverment should work. In australia we we have a 100 percent job subsidy scheme and doubled our unemployment benefits for six months. And thats from a conservative goverment. No one starves to death. There are no protests against restrictions. The goverment is gradually bringing thing back to normal following medical advice because of the security goverment welfare provides. The debt? The interest rate on international money markets is less than inflation. There won't be a problem to pay it back over many years and the same applies to Poland too.

WRONG. From the start it was always envisaged that also it would help those families on the poverty line or the working class. and for the millions of families that can take buy extra clothes, take the children on a vacation or buy a computer for the first time, it has been a life saver Hence PiS popularity, yet the heartless anti polish neo-liberals on this forum see this as a disaster, waste of money and giving free stuff to stupid people. I'm sure as a woman with maternal instincts you can see these sort of views are immoral.

If I am a Pis troll you are a PO troll. What debt?, the budget was in surplus before the pandemic. Zero security interest?, just a few posts above you said the project was good and as soon as it is pointed out PO support ending it like a Pavlovian response in a dog u change your tune. Why should we ask russia's permision whenver we want to get our ship in poland. Social welfare is shocking? I know you Yanks are happy to have a significant number of your population living in abject poverty , without access to healthcare and proper government support and think that is appropriate for Poland. News flash buddy, Poles don't accept your limited government Reagenesque BS and structural inequality. Anyway that is one of the many reasons your sh*thole country is burning to the ground.

Really? Trashkowski says it will be stopped if he gets elected. Funny how any project that helps Poland wean itself of dependence of Russia is opposed by PO.. I wonder why.. hence why you have anti polish russia boosters like delph calling it a white elephant.

Well the PKW document has been published, now the Marszałek has two weeks to call new election within 60 days. As i predicted Total Opozyc-chuja has already splintered to shambles again. Spokesperson of Lewica says elections should be held as soon as possible. Infighting within PO like with labour during brexit. Significant faction in PO wants election in Late June/July. Good times. Lets see what antidemocratic dither and delay measures the other factions of PO try to pull out of their neo-liberal hats.

The article delph posted said there was a new ustawa from the sejm that replaced it. @Jon your parties policies remind me of labour and the total opposition against brexit, delay, dither and hold up democracy. till something snapped. And they got the worst possible result beyond their imagination. Be carefull and pray for Your parties sake the same does not occur here.

if people can riot during a pandemic in usa , poland can surely hold an election with optional postal voting. The election is overdue , how is that awkward, except deep down PO and their supporters know they will lose. Hence the pathetic anti democratic delaying. Don't be afraid You will have to put your head on the chopping block sooner or later.

So how long does it take the senate approve legislation for an election? its not rocket science. All I have seen is delaying tactics and days off, with lame denials from PO posels "oh i'm not in the senate" The fact is PO does not want an election in late june or early July because being bereft of actual policy ideas, they are awaiting disaster to befall duda, not self aware enough that the same could happen to their candidiate the longer this farce drags on. So if its all above PO board delph when will the senate approve legislation and what date?

The poles who wrote the constitution did not fathom that the opposition would go against democracy and deny an election , so unless senat marzałek is pressured out of his becoming president delusions, we might not have an election till Autumn. PO playing with democracy or might lose them votes. Hopefully Kaczynski comes down on them with an iron fist. If the senate needs to be stormed so be it.

Trashkowski and PO fools want to cut infrastructure projects in a middle of a economic depression. Their neo-liberal tendencies for austerity can't help keep coming out . And some special people on this forum think their vote will increase? lolzo Once PiS starts the cutting kielbasa scare campaign, trashkowski (who looks like a sleazy character you would see running a high end gogo bar in warsaw) will fall back to the levels of Botox lady.
