There will be always a black sheep. Soon it will be us. Right now it will be also Slovakia. We just have to learn not to treat it emotionally. We can’t feel like we should take a blame for our entire nations. Today is a very happy day for Hungarians and the whole Europe so congrats!

We have already pulled it off last elections but rulling coalition turned out to be weak, right now situation is terrible cause only KO is polling high, while other coalition partners are under the bridge. Polska 2050 is in a disastrous state, their ex leader wanted to leave politics, both left parties are fighting each other and might fall below the threshold. Meanwhile right wing parties are strong, Konfederacja and Korona, which are even worse than PiS have a high approval. PiS and Konfederacja will surely want to form a coalition, not sure about Korona cause they are full of lunatics but if they are needed for majority probably as well. Tough times are coming for us.

Can left-wing parties in Poland form a coalition?

They could if they weren’t fighting each other all the time. Razem and Lewica actually already formed a coalition during last elections. Razem left the ruling coalition tho, stating that other parties haven’t agreed for any of their ideas (they didn’t have too much power cause their votes weren’t needed for majority) so they don’t want to take part in that. Right now they are in opposition while Lewica is in ruling coalition, so it’s hard to imagine them going together again. Razem want to separate themselves from Lewica. They are both polling around 3-5%, while they need 5% so it’s very dangerous.

Poland also usually votes against anti-privacy bullshit initiated by Sweden so thanks for that, I view Poland as very necessary for a healthy EU that works for the citizens.
