What was the alternative again
PO, Nowoczesna... look it up yourself, dumbass.

and why did they lose badly?

"badly" is a relative term. But you're correct, 51% vs. 49% is indeed a disaster with the aforementioned party in charge of the legislative branch of government.

Like I already mentioned, people voted for small parties that didn't cross the 5% threshold. Those lost votes got redistributed among the parties that did get in.

The main opposition party, PO, was politically attacked by a recording tape scandal, which PiS exploited before the election. Their internal leadership also failed to recover after Donald Tusk went into the EU parliament.

A washed-up b-grade rocker entered the presidential race, and then he made his own party. Some 9% of voters lapped up the kool-aid.

The catholic church used its own resources, and government subsidies, to help fund and propagandise PiS' election campaign. They also have a millionaire businessman (Rydzyk) who calls himself a priest but spends his time running a media company, which was extremely biased in favour of PiS.

Your above comment and the 'juicy quote' don't quite match, the quote criticises the opposition. The execution part is laughable.

If you had a better understanding of the situation in Poland, you wouldn't be so cocky.

Looks like "Maidan 2.0 - Polish edition" isn't getting the desired traction.

You're an idiot. Nobody wants a repeat of Ukraine. Except maybe the Russians. They seem to be very supportive of how things are going in Poland.


If the turnout is less than 50% (as was the case)...

Turnaround was 50.92%.

My bad. 1% difference. That wouldn't phase an egomaniac like MP Kaczynski.

Anything else I can help you with?
