Great discussion inside Razem party about role of contemporary left-wing identity, values and role of Internet memes , briefly speaking.

Szyszko's war on trees is annoying, but at least I see some new trees being planted in Warsaw.

Tusk re-elected as President of the European Council with support of every member country government except Polish (PiS decided to troll the EU by filling this guy).

While I like PiS getting their wrist slapped, Tusk is still low energy.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Aaaaaaaaaaand PiS had entered full "we don't accept this decision, therefor it's invalid" mood.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Lol not even Kaczynski's bros Orban and Fico backed him up? Lol, cucked.

Orban's FB profile is being invaded by bitter PiS hacks, complaining about "treason", LOL

PiS snoflakes invading Orban's FB profile:



"You world-class lice. What kind of title do you even have? You are nothing, I hope Tusk licked a hole in your ass. You've been supported by the Poles, but not those from Tusk, you naive lice. You won't have our support again. We will forget about you."



"You Hungarian traitor."



"Did Merkel promised you a German citizenship too? You are just the same as sick, Islamic Union."

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, Tusk was pretty much a goner until Kaczyński saved his ass by throwing a hissy fit.

Thanks, Jarosław

Korwin's suspended as MEP for 10 days (and won't get a month salary) for being a misogynist dumbass.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

It almost appears as Kaczyński is no longer in control, since he can't even deal with Macierewicz's antics. Years ago he'd just purge the old fossil, now he's just stating, in a rare public appearance, Macierewicz "excesses should be curbed".


On unrelated note I drove past two American military convoys today moving east in Białystok direction. I was lucky for American soldiers are known to cause traffic accidents.

It appears our great explorer Waszczykowski (who discovered the mysterious land of San Escobar) may soon be tossed overboard.

Very important things are now going on in Poland.



PSL have lost one MP and now its parliamentary club have only 15 MPs - just enough to have parliamentary club but they are close to losing right to form club which PSL was able to form since 1990.

I remember when UP (Labor Union) went down from 15 to 14 MPs after Małachowski's death, SLD (being the major coalition party at the time) "lend" them one of their MPs, so UP could retain the right to have a parliamentary club.

PSL sure went a long way from being the second largest party between 1993 to 1997 to current pitiful state, never recovering from the 1997 slaughter.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

A little note: when an MP dies or resigns, she or he is replaced with the next person from the party list that fell short winning during the election. Grzegorz Napieralski, former SLD leader (and now PO Senator) is one of numerous examples. Of course with more than one parties running together or other subsequent reasons, the replacement member might not be associated with the club (that's how UPR once got their lone MP, because they ran with PO in 2001, winning no seats back then). This, of course, does not reflect a situation when a member switches parties/clubs.

As of Senators, there are special elections, but Senate is a joke anyway. Hell, since they introduced single districts I took my ballot home on both occasions.


Oh, other major s**t is going on right now, but I don't think I have enough energy for a large post. Kaatak, will you do the honors?

Nah, this is pretty boring at this point. PSL is more interesting.

Well, to be honest, yes. Maybe I'm too cynical, but it was pretty much a skilfull political trolling of everyone by The Jarosław™

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I have a lot of things to do with my master's thesis so I guess it is good moment to start some discussion about Polish politics? Maybe you all have some questions? Do not hesitate to ask.

What do you think about inevitable landslide victory for Razem in 2019?

I saw on FB it's coming, so...

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Razem is probably moving toward total failure in local elections as I don't see that ideological purists will cooperate with other more liberal parties of the left on local level. And they don't understand that for them getting city councilors, sejmiks members is the only way to get any support bigger than 3%. Probably the only city when they alone have decent result is Wrocław.

Interestingly during elections for borough councils Razem did cooperate with Greens. But I don't see purists "compromising themselves" by working on something bigger with muh fake left.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Oh, since this thread went inactive for long, the Supreme Court controversy, which sparked actual big protests in major cities at least, had no effect on PiS standing in the polls.

Depressing, but lmao at the collapse of .modern.

It wasn't so long ago when we've heard constantly ".n will absorb PO in no time" or "Petru is the new leader of the opposition."

As of PO, I remember Schetyna being compared to Frank Underwood and now it makes sense. He's good at destroying internal rivals and sucks at everything else.

Kal, Razem got 5% in new IBRiS poll XD

Weird, I see no celebrations on my FB wall.

Greens and Razem are running together for the city council in Wrocław, but that's it.

Lel, I wrote about that like half year ago on the other Atlas and there I forgot

I think I remember Greens and Razem running together for borough councils sometime ago in Wrocław.

what does the German Minority MP do in the Sejm?

Represents German minority? Recognized by law minorities had no electoral threshold so thanks to the good organisation they can elect their MP. Generally he votes similarly to the govt.

Not so long ago they had 2 MPs, but their voting share decreased significantly in the Opole Voivodeship (which is an electoral district as well). They have to reach 5% within the district, but don't have to reach 5% nationally, which would be a moot since they're not running anywhere else. Yes, to gain any seats, you must reach 5% nationally (8% for coalitions). To win seats in specific districts you need to get the magic number as well. I don't know whether 8% threshold applied to specific districts as well.
