Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform

I think the issue is more trade union regulations rather than purely religious reasons. In the US as well, when I was growing up, until round about the beginning of the '70's, one could almost never find a shopping center open, even a Walmart store. There were late hours in most of the major urban areas, including even some Saturdays, but Sunday remained sacred for years.

I see this week that inflation starting to gallop - 4.5 percent, we haven't seen those rates for 10 years. Sunday shopping law is one of the reasons but increase in minimum wage, petrol costs, energy costs will all be passed on to consumers as well.

PiS really do think that Polish people are stupid and the way to win elections is to lie to them (refer back to Kurski's "ciemny naród"

Plenty of politicians do just that; it all depends on how the lie is presented.
