Poland election - October 25 2015

[Zuza]

Why didn't Razem join Zjednoczona Lewica? They have very few differences with Lewica and no chance to pass the threshold on their own, so now it seems they'll just spoil left-wing votes.

My prediction:

PiS 39%
PO 21%
Kukiz'15 9%
ZL 8%
.N 7%
PSL 5.5%
Razem 4.5%
KORWiN 4%
Others 2%

With these results, Poland will become the most right wing country in Europe, with no left party in 460 seat parlament

Isn't it already the most right-wing in the EU, with both 2 main parties being right-wing, social democrats diminished to 27 seats and Palikot's party (liberals who proposed to introduce a flat tax) regarded as "left-wing" by Polish standards? In Hungary centre-left at least remains the largest opposition force (though, on the other hand, there is Jobbik in Hungary, which is way to the right of any significant Polish party). And yes, now when there will be no SLD or Palikot at all in parliament, Poland shifts even further to the right.

According to this, majority of 2011 PPP voters now support PO and PiS and only 4.3% of them voted for ZL. How it is possible? PPP is a small far-left party which is a part of ZL now. Is there some kind of mistake?

[Zuza]

ZL defeat (which seem to be caused, among other things, by voters' shift to Razem right before the elections) looks like a very good news for Razem. I can even imagine Razem emerging as the main (centre-)left party by the next elections.

Why are Poles in the USA so pro-PiS?
