What is the EU gonna do? Invade?
Poles remember how they were treated by Germany.
Not gonna happen again.
And treated by Russia.
The EU's chosen man for Poland, former President Tusk, returned to Poland over the summer to try to revive the moribund opposition Civic Platform party. He's clearly the globalists' favorite. However, the opposition keeps making it clear how repulsive their plans are for Poland, for example calling for the "refugees" now blocked at the Belarussian border to be admitted and an opposition MP just screamed about "sawing" Catholics in half and wanting to ban broadcasts of masses from public television channels. This in a country where I think 93% of the population are practicing Catholics. I hope their bout of foot-in-mouth disease continues.
Good luck collecting on that fine.
How do say “F)(k You” in Polish?
Kurwa mać
The good thing is that the opposition is shooting itself in the other foot.
That 93% is out of date. I wish it were the case, but the number is more like 60%. It’s good, but not as good as it should be.
we have a lot of people who believe that “Poland should become a ‘normal’ country allowing free abortion and LGBT”.
I see these people as mainly in the big cities - in Warsaw and Wroclaw. There is pressure to be pro-LGBT and pro-abort or else you are looked at askance. This is due to the media - wyborcza is a leftist rag.
There are many Catholeftists who somehow turn a blind eye to this - as evidenced by Szymon Holownia.
Me, I support Konfederacja, but vote for PiS for the President and for when I have no choice. Konfederacja is open markets but conservative socially (i.e. no abortion, no LGBT).
PiS - Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc (Law and Justice) is big gov, welfare state but socially conservative. So I don’t like them, but I like the others less.
Among “the otherS” we have
1. the ex-commies - SLD, who were voted out of parliament in the 2015 election but got in this time (a party needs to get a minimum of 5% to get into parliament)
2. the fake left
3. the gay left
4. the centre-leftIS - PO - which Tusk is a part of. These guys are smallER government than PiS but leftish socially. They’ve been pushed more to the left.
Thankfully the “leftish” are too busy with infighting to win. However that doesn’t make me a fan of the ruling party
Not going to happen. Poland has benefited heavily by the cross-europe trade. Our standard of living has improved heavily since joining the EU.
By that I mean that they are far more concerned about Poland's sovereignty. Its sad to still have to say that 32 years after 1989, but it's true.
PiS may be "big government" in many respects, although I think their program to try to direct some development funds to more rural areas and to support families address equity issues that are an increasing problem in every developed country.
The difference is that those are Polish big government solutions. With the opposition, you'll get EU and globalist big government positions (as well as cultural leftism) about which Polish voters will have zero control.
Luckily, every time the opposition feels free to speak, they reveal themselves as the same hate-filled reptiles the left is here.
