Ursynow had a high turnout, over 50%, though not quite enough to win the Pępek Europy award, which went to Magdalenka.<br /><br />I must say I had to swallow hard when putting my cross againt Danuta Huebner. Because of her SLD (Stalin-Lenin-Dno) roots, I found it exceedingly difficult to vote for her, yet voting for anyone else on the Platforma list would be a vote for PiS. Such is the electoral system for the EU parliament.<br /><br />Still, the result was excellent. All ten 'silly party' candidates from the League of Polish Families (Oi!) will be saying bye bye Brussels (with the exception of Filip Adwent who met his end in a classic Polish manner - head-on smash into oncoming traffic).<br /><br />The poll result was a mid-term vote of confidence for Poland's least ridiculous party.<br /><br />PO are not doing enough to get the country going (infrastructure? tax reform? rural reform? HELLO?)but at least they do not make Poland look silly abroad.Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.com
