Poland held a parliamentary election on October 15. In the lower house, the Sejm, seventeen parties won at least one seat. Almost all parties that won a seat are in alliance with certain other parties. Here is the wikipedia article about the election.
One of the parties that won a few seats is the Confederation of the Polish Crown, which wants to restore the monarchy.
MAKE THE BRIT MONARCH THE POLAND MONARCH ???
Given the name Confederation, it appears that this party wants to restore the old Polish Lithuanian Confederation, which was an elective monarchy. Anyone who had any sort of noble title was an elector, and they would assemble on the death of the monarch, and elect the next one. At it height, it included what is now Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine.
MAX OLDE POLAND – BEFORE PARTITIONS BY GERMANY / RUSSIA / ETC ???
ONE REGIME WITH THE MOST BORDER CHANGES IN 6,000 PLUS YEARS ???
BAAADE LOCATION OR WHAT ??? — PLAIN BETWEEN ASIAN HOARDS AND EURO HOARDS
You could look up Confederation instead of guessing its agenda.
@WZ,
Confederation is the name of a far-right coalition of four political parties, so I don’t think we can assume any relation to the Polish-Lithuanian government. The monarchist party is said to be pro-Russian so maybe they want a restoration of the Romanov dynasty.
The leader may be an edgelord.
The governing party was considering increasing the number of electoral areas reducing their magnitude and increasing the effective threshold.
It’s easy to look up. Took me less than a minute.
The party is associated with an organization that claims to be anti-democratic and anti-parliamentary, and that only a monarch authorized by God can be a legitimate ruler.
They probably would be opposed to an elected king as happened under the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth.
I think the Romanovs are out because they weren’t Catholic. The group apparently favors a Jacobite restoration in Britain. 1689 was not so Glorious.
It’s a coalition of several parties. Sounds to me like it should be a lot more popular than the vote results indicate based on the wiki description.
@Mike,
The Confederation Liberty and Independence is a coalition of several parties. It is informally known as Confederation. Confederation of the Polish Crown is one of the member parties. Confederation is registered as a political party rather than a coaltion to avoid the higher threshold (8%) for coalitions, vs. 5% for political parties. It is unknown how the confederation doles out seats in the 41 electoral areas.
Yes, I learned all that from reading wiki in a few seconds. I would vote Confederate if I voted in Poland.
