[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

So much for the new President ending the War on Drugs making any difference I mean how can people be so naive about it? The Sinaloa, Zetas & Gulf cartels keeps doing their thing. Pablo Escobar & the Colombians are glorified with these fancy TV shows while Mexicans are just stacking up the body count year after year. What else is new?

Presidential elections in Poland today. Second round in two weeks time is highly probable though.

The country is getting more divided like all seasoned democracies do Biedron & Kosiniak-Kamysz got less votes combined than the far-right Bosak   It's hard to imagine how Napieralski got 13,5% ten years ago and now the highly-touted Biedron collapsed below 3%. He can duly bogger off to European Parliament and stop wasting everyone's time. Obviously Kosiniak-Kamysz is the big loser. Polish society wants more of the PiS-PO showdown

As TVP associated Trzaskowski with LGBT more than Biedroń, he took his votes.

LGBT votes won't win any elections in Poland. Civic Platform sits on the LGBT fence forever and Trzaskowski won't change a thing. Biedron hardly did any better than the much ridiculed Magdalena Ogorek five years ago despite years of service in Sejm and the media-friendly personality. The post-communist left-wing is truly dead in Poland Though I believe Zandberg would give them more votes than Biedron who can't talk about anything other than LGBT rights. His tune got old a while ago already.

I wouldn't say that having socialist (even if national-socialist) government for five years and the presecutor from communist martial law times as a member of Constitutional Court chosen by votes of the now ruling majority.

I was talking more about a left-wing party capable of winning votes. Law & Justice took away the social funding & support for the working class while Civic Platform took away the liberal ideology and LGBT support so to speak. Divide & conquer!

 

Robert Biedron got 4x less votes than the left party alliance in the Parliament elections last year   He even got beaten by the nationallistic Krzysztof Bosak in Slupsk despite being a President of that city which allegedly showed Poland is ready for openly gay person in charge. No, we're kinda not
