It won't happen in this case as leading party PiS is overally against any abortion even in case of rape... And they have the biggest amount of deputies in the Sejm, so...

 

Only one hope is in the Senate, that they can reject some laws suggested by Sejm, but it's still long way.

Well, that’s democracy for you.  Not quite sure why people expect a minority should be able use the Courts to dictate laws to the majority after the minority has lost a whole series of elections.

In my case I don't expect this  As main opposition party (KO) is the most loud here, they didn't wins any elections since many years and when they ruled in the country some things were even worse than now.

 

There is still some more other parties which never (or in last 15 years) had even small chance to win elections. It's always game between PiS and KO. It is choice between a hammer and an anvil or bigger/lesser evil.

 

I have no idea why people didn't vote for other parties, really.

I laugh my ass off when Trump accuses Biden/Harris of being “further left than Sanders,” or “a socialist.” He nearly lost the Democratic primary because he wasn’t progressive/liberal enough.

Trump: “Wind kills the birds”

This may have been the most watchable debate Trump has ever been in.

Interesting. I live near a massive wind turbine complex, and never knew this was a problem.

Same here (this being a problem I mean), mostly at open sea. People here are fed up with these huge machines anyway, even more so since a while ago they built a complex with a good few of the huge ones, which could provide power for over 300.000 households!

 

The number of households it provides with power?

 

Spoiler

Zero (0). It's entirely going to a Microsoft datacenter, like is the case with most of these complexes. They're being built, a big USA company comes in to place a datacenter, the local government is bribed accepts it because it's great for everyone, and repeat.
