Poland election - October 25 2015

[Zanas]

I agree that the PO-PiS pageant is not very appealing to someone with a firm left-wing stance.

To be honest, pretty much all I expect and desire from any Polish election is to see the result map and compare it to the ancient imperial borders of 150 years ago and before. This is utterly satisfying, you don't find such long enduring political patterns and cleavages everywhere.

Summary of the polls since the start of the month...

ZL between 3% and 15%

This quotation should be final argument when someone will ask why we do not post Polish polls there

Well that's not so bad, that's only a 4-pt variation within a 4-pt margin of error. I've seen Latin-American polls wildly beating this in volatility...

Could be useful to remind that coalitions must reach an 8% threshold, rather than the 5% threshold for parties running by themselves. Of those around the threshold, Kukiz 15 and United Left are coalitions, Nowoczesna, PSL and Korwin are lone parties.

The above map seems like pretty good news for PiS, doesn't it ?
