PiS wants the country to be run by the state, to some degree, to avoid the chance of Poland one say being run by a bunch of foreign companies. If you leave it open and let anyone in, the consequences could be worse than you can imagine.
No, that's nothing to do with it. PiS wants the companies to be run by the State so that they can guarantee menial, worthless jobs for all the unemployed, lazy moustaches who want a return to the Communist way of doing things - where they had guaranteed holidays, flats, cars, etc.
The profits go to foreigners.
What makes you think that Poles don't have shares in Jeromino Martins?
Should Poland perhaps give back some of the billions in foreign EU funding ?
Ah, PiS logic - give us the cash, but we don't want to actually..you know...allow you to do anything.
Well you could use the same argument for other parties. 60% rejected PO, but yet you think they are 'all the rage.' If PiS is finished then Palikot might as well not bother either [wish he didn't] since 90% rejected him. Same goes for SLD, rejected by about 92%.
But there's one thing you're missing - PiS are ideologically opposite to the other parties. It's not just PO, but the PSL/RP/SLD too - all these parties are totally opposite to PiS.
I basically disagree with just about everything Palikot stands for.
You disagree with the free market, opportunities for youth, fair taxation for all, decent living wages, etc?
I think PiS is far from finished, they just need a new direction. I agree that they might need a different style and talk about different things in order to bring in new voters.
History shows that there's not much they can do - 30% is about their level of support. Unless they change completely, they'll never get the magic 40% number, and those changes will alienate the lunatic 10% or so.
I also don't think there is much of a danger in losing much of their current electorate, even if they made a few changes, because there is no alternative. A PiS voter is not likely to turn to PO, and even less likely to turn to any of the others, even if PiS made a few alterations in their politics.
Not quite. If they dropped a lot of the POLSKA NASZA POLSKA stuff - that 10% of lunatics who vote for them based on that crap would find someone else to support. As it stands, their strategy guarantees them perpetual opposition, but still 30%.
PiS aren't finished, but Kaczynski is.
