Who? Conversation with Prof. RAPHAL CHWEDORUKI

– After 1989, erstwhile the parliamentary strategy began to develop, respective 100 political parties appeared. About specified as the Union of Polish Communists “Proletariat”, the banner of Our woman of Lichen the Painful Queen of Poland, the Polish organization of Magnetoid Owners, the average Pole has not even heard. Some, like the Polish Erotic organization (not formally registered) or the Polish Monarchist Movement, have aroused a temporary interest in the media. There were besides specified as the Polish organization of Friends of Beer or organization X, who even managed to introduce their representatives to the Sejm. Then there were groups who played the function of language for a short time in importance: LPR, Self-defense, Kukiz’15, Palikot Movement, Modern. present all (also theoretically existing Modern) are past. Will Poland be able to add 2050 to this list soon?

– Not yet, but in the long word this formation will be doomed to blur on the Civic Platform. In the current organization system, with a permanently divided society, it is hard to imagine the existence of 2 parties with almost duplicate programs and referring to akin groups of voters. So they gotta merge into 1 or more likely, 1 has to vassalize the other. As with Law and Justice and Sovereign Poland, Platform and Modern.

Today Modern is just a sign and nothing more. But in 2016, according to 1 poll she enjoyed 29.6% support, and Platform – 16.2%. If Richard Petru had not been at the head of the former, could the destiny of both groups be different?

– If Modern activists thought in strategical terms – and from today's position we can see that there was quite a few improvisation there – then they could make a proposal to the Platform irrefutable – a combination of forces on Modern terms.

– And would we have Prime Minister Petru today?
