Local elections in Poland, EU citizens should register to vote

♂

I hope all EU citizens here in Warsaw with a "Staly Meldunek" (just as me) have registered to vote in the local elections, and will go to vote. The PIS morons will loose anyway, big time. But it would be great if Hannah would win in the first round. Just to send a message to the duck. And to get rid of the cross loonies. They are still polluting the pavement of Krakowskie P. with their ridiculous candles.

I've registered to vote too.

PiS are hardly even bothering to campaign in Poznan.

Local elections in Poland. Who is going to vote Sunday and why?

Sunday local elections. Second time I can vote as a EU citizen here in Warsaw. I am definitely going. Hannah does not need my vote but nevertheless she will get it :)

It is good to exercise your rights as a EU citizen in another EU country. It would be good though if the PIS morons would be defeated in the first round.

I think the current coalition was doing a good job here in Warsaw.

I am going too. Not that I love PO so much. I am going to vote them in fear of PiS getting the power again. That would be even more disastrous than their last time in 2007. IMHO: PiS must be stopped.

Just for the record: you are a foreigner who has no concept of this country's politics, but you are politicaly correct; you have mainstream acceptable views; you are almost a Polish yuppie, and regreatably you can vote.

Your nick Sobieski, are you a Polish nationalist now or do you just like nationalists?

I hope you don't go postal, Pawian. Get some help.

PiS are falling apart - when even some of the more questionable members are starting to leave, you know their time is up. I can't help but think that Kaczynski has been completely manipulated though - who on earth allowed him to have an election "spot" with a coffin?!

No concept? Is that the same concept as Jarek's "the people made a mistake" nonsense?

There's really not much to understand - the general population doesn't like PiS and they stand to lose in 27 out of the 28 biggest cities. Heck, when they're projected to lose Kielce, what the hell is wrong with them?

Thankfully, I can vote too. And vote I will :)

Polonia seems to like them, not sure why- but I don't. The duck only creates hatred and confusion amongst people. He's gotta go, really.

Let's just vote everyone. Glad to have those of you who are expatriates to vote here. Cast your vote and enjoy in the manner you prefer:-)

Hmmm, so as an expat, here are my choices: PO: we don't do anything that promise PiS: we say we do everything that we promise, but don't actually do anything we promise It's tough, thank god for independents....

Well that is the slanted point of view of the media. The truth is somewhere in between-if you want to track the activity of PO, then I would suggest you look at the Sejm website and look at all the laws that were approved.

And although I like the strong presence of independents in the election, the fact is that most of the big fish in Katowice, Poznan, Krakow, and Wroclaw-will still be largely dependent on the goodwill of the councilors and Sejmiks, which will be mostly party controlled, to get anything done.

So if an independent tells you that he is going to o this that and etc- you should be very skeptical, because the likelihood is that he or she is simply unlikely to have the power. Therefore a party affiliated promise is far more credible.

If the PO Carries out its policy and reduces the size of parliament (they will have to have the power first) then they will well and truly win my respect as a party that is not just in it for itself. The Conservatives are on their way of doing just that in the UK-and guess which party stands in opposition? Who else but the party of professional politicians- LABOUR.

I am not a Polish citizen, but as EU resident with a permanent meldunek, I have the same right to vote as you.

By the way U read some time ago that PIS wanted Kamiński head of the PIS club in Warsaw. Imagine that guy getting mayor. Eavesdropping on all PIS opponents and thew IPN making overtime in blackmailing the entire opposition.

I would also urge those who take a real interest, and might have not been born in the country and think they have something to contribute to the community to give it a go. Like the gentlemen here http://www.tvn24.pl/28377,1683150,0,1,z-importu,fakty_wiadomosc.html

Politics is a dirty game ... But let either the Civic Platform ... or the Left and Democrats and anyone going for an approach that is more harmonious ... win. I dont like politics though ... P.S. PO is on a good situation ... =D ...

Sorry, you signed up for the EU, and now we're going to exercise our EU rights :) The fact that the American Polonia get to vote is far worse - at least we live, work and pay taxes here.

pawian: PiS must be stopped. PO has won everything, they made 112 billion debt this year alone, sell strategic sectors of the economy for pennies, ruin the the whole country but PiS must be stopped, I really start believing that Poles are a nation of idiots.

Poles can vote in my country (the mayor of my city is Polish) - why shouldn't I vote in Warsaw, where I live and pay taxes. Poland isn't Albania or Belarus!

delphiandomine:

Damn right.

Not for long. The EU are harmonising it all at the moment.

Aren't we all a ship of fools?

But at least they've done something, eh? What did PiS achieve, apart from using the security forces to spy on the independent media?

Grzegorz_: So you say that ruining the public finances is a good thing ? Do I have to remind you for the millionth time that PiS and Kaczynski promoted spending more than PO have done? While PO were reigning in spending, PiS were screaming "SPEND, SPEND" because America was doing just that. End result : America is ******, while Poland is doing ok.
