Women from a new Polish political party have stripped off in a controversial poster campaign ahead of national elections.
Seven candidates from the Women's Party are featured posing behind a billboard that reads: "The party of women. Poland is a woman."
The attention-grabbing move is making waves in staunchly Catholic Poland, where the ruling Kaczynski twins have pushed a fiercely conservative agenda.
Writer Manuela Gretkowska said she founded the party as the Polish government considered tightening already strict controls on abortion.
"It is the straw that broke the camel's back," she said, adding that Poland's political scene was usually run by men for men.
"This poster is intended to shatter stereotypes in the anachronistic world of politics, which is more often dominated by uncommunicative men with their black tie outfits," she said.
"We are beautiful, nude, proud. We are true and sincere, body and soul. This is not pornography, there is nothing to see in terms of sex, our faces are intelligent, concerned, proud.
"We do not have our mouths open nor our eyes closed," she said.
So far, polls show the party will fail to cross the five per cent voting threshold required to enter parliament on the October 21 election.
But support is growing, and Ms Gretkowska hopes that the backing of some of Poland's most famous women could help push it over the line and into parliament.
If that happened, the Women's Party could become a key coalition partner after elections that none of the major parties looks like winning outright.
Its backing for equal pay for men and women as well as public funding for contraception would mark a major shift in Poland, where priests, not sexual-health practitioners usually set the political agenda.
But the mainstream parties, including the Law and Justice party of Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, are waking up to the power that the women's vote could have in the October poll.
Mr Kaczynski has appointed the wife of an opposition politician to advise him on "women's affairs".
lesbians promising sex to men stupid enough to believe it.
I’d say they’re just letting it all hang out for politics
Not guilty.
Oh wait, that’s the other thread.
This reminds me of those Dixie Twits posing nude with anti-american and anti-bush words scrawled on their un-attractive bodies.
Maybe so. But they’re not fat and ugly.
Not like American leftist brainwashed feminists, who are pro-abortionists in disguise
It's, like, just rude.
Gotta be bad when the next mug shot makes Pelosi look a bit normal.....
....shudder....
Back to the Polish picture........
Should have had Pole-dancing pictures.
Must resist.
...Keep on telling myself not to use any “Pole” jokes at this thread.
Now, now. Alexander Graham Zdanowicz is a personal hero of mine..
The first telephone Pole.
I can’t comment without more evidence. More pics would be a good start.
Pole Dancing Ping.
Is this Poster for sale? It certainly should be! It should read: “ This Is What You get as A Democrat!”
Few countries fought as long or hard against the Nazi's as Poland. Which makes FDR's gift to Stalin that much more painful. And, who was instrumental in bringing down the USSR? POLAND !!
That has never been the problem.
Old Polish jokes were about screwing light bulbs. New Polish Jokes?

Now that gets my kielbasa going
My Dear Ex was Polish, my observation. In every Polish family there is Bapchi, an old woman out of a 1900 “National Geographic” photo, square head, square body, she defines acceptable behavior.
Something we need to remember folks, is that the socialist control freaks in Brussels (EU) desperately want to bring Poland down to its knees and in-line with the rest of the wussified European continent. Poland has defied the EU on several occasions and shows no sign of cracking. Remember when the EU masters imported a bunch of homosexual activists from Germany and elsewhere to hold a Gay Pride march in Poland. I have no doubt they are doing the same thing here. Poland stood against the EU on their "No Death Penalty Day" because the EU supports murderers but applauds the killing of the unborn.
Stand tough Poland. Don't let outsiders bring you down to the level of their enslaved societies.
The chicken Dix have added new members!
