One in four Poles consider that the best solution to the present political crisis would be a coalition of the ruling Law and Justice and the ‘liberal’ Civic Platform. But twenty five percent also think that a new election should be called. Many are just turned off by the antics of politicians.
Poles are evidently disorientated. They expected a new government, free from corruption, energetic and representing their interests whereas in reality they witness endless reports from Parliamentary battle scenes. Piotr Kwiatkowski from Pentor says it is obvious that in such a situation the public feels bewildered.
The dissatisfaction and lack of orientation in the situation is evident in the fact that a huge number of Poles will be ready to go to the polls again, should the president undertake a decision dissolving the parliament. It is a feeling most unusual among Polish society, which is not that eager to attend elections so often. But as Piotr Kwiatkowski explains, any solution to break up the stalemate is a good solution.
According to the results of the Pentor survey, every fourth Pole could not say which solution would be best, and these represent this group of society which ceased to care. People are dissatisfied, they feel cheated that the election promises had not been fulfilled and this is something about which the haggling parties seemed to have forgotten. Political sociologist Jacek Kucharczyk says that the electorate will not forget the disillusionment.
Opinion polls last week showed the PiS could win an independent majority in fresh elections.
