One big difference in the last 20 years in Poland. You can find relatively complicated, diverse ingredients even in your local Lidl

Some analysis of the first round of the Polish Presidential elections. Lots to chew over. First Trzaskowski's result is very disappointing and you'd have to say that Nawrocki has the momentum going into the second round in 2 weeks /1

Quick poll. Was Tusk using Duda as an excuse not to follow a more ambitious progressive legislative program or was Duda really the problem?

Btw all these people saying Sikorski would have beaten Nawrocki. I'm sorry but wtf? Sikorski has the biggest negative electorate of anyone apart from Tusk in PO. Like the left liberals would have turned out to vote for him. Laughable

Just to add something, I think a lot of Polish people who are not very politically active think the President is more important than it is, so it's not just foreign observers

Okopress have outed Baldrick as a bit of a fascist 😅
