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.

Olympian1010 7,516 Posted October 23, 2020 #6935 Share Posted October 23, 2020 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. “Sport has the power to change the world.

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. dcro 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
