The sooner those twin scumbags are out of power the better. Civic Platform may be conservative too, but of a saner variety, a win for them would be great news. I don't see a difference between Law and Justice and the League of Polish Families. They are the most horrible parties in Europe at the moment.

Well they're not conservative. They're mostly free-market liberals with an admixture of some moderate defectors from the left. I haven't really seen anything that would tell me that they were socially conservative.

Are you serious!? They are the most socially conservative government in all of Europe, not counting Belarus, which is a freak exception at this point.

I was talking about Civic Platform which you labeled as conservative. League of Polish Families isn't conservative as well, it's an agrarian populist party with a twist of xenophobia.

Civic Platform is center-right, like the CDU (or maybe FDP?) in Germany. They are economic conservatives, not social ones. Civic Platform would be a big improvement over the current government, because they wouldn't be intentionally alienating all of Europe by their sheer stupidity (i.e. Law and Justice).

League of Polish Families is extremely socially conservative, which is what I meant. Their economic agenda is meaningless, they are quasi-fascists who should never be allowed into the Polish government.

No, that would be Self Defense. League of Polish Families are the extreme right lunatics (with a twist of anti-semitism).

What are the differences between the 2? They sound very similar, except that Self Defense is in the current coalition, and has a lot more seats in Parliament, so I'm guessing they aren't as crazy as the League.
