What a system to have the PiS party hold the presidency after the opposition appears to have enough seats to govern? It will be a rough ride. Glass half full - I hope civic society will do all it can to reach out to the farmers who have played such a large role in supporting PiS. Coming together is much more difficult than breaking thing…
What a system to have the PiS party hold the presidency after the opposition appears to have enough seats to govern? It will be a rough ride. Glass half full - I hope civic society will do all it can to reach out to the farmers who have played such a large role in supporting PiS. Coming together is much more difficult than breaking things apart. We know that only too well in the US. The former guy left plenty of his own apparatchiks in various places - gym jordan being one of the key figures. If anyone should be thrown out, it is this guy. Yes - we have our own version of Polish politics here and it is not going away anytime soon. There are plenty of right wing catholics who are in league with evangelicals. What we need to do in the US is build a more robust civil society state by state. It has always amazed me that some of the most progressive folks are often found in the very states where the politics has been purposefully stacked against them. Creativity and commitment seems to grow in those conditions, especially when people find one another, share their dreams, and build a movement together that intends to do what is just and truthful for the whole of the society. Building is harder than breaking. Building however is the way to maintain hope. Thanks Tom for a super update on Poland's elections. Praying all the folks involved will make it safely to establishing the new governing coalition.
