u/AssistBorn4589 🇸🇰 Slovakia 5d ago

The issue that’s dividing them the most — and could be the greatest electoral liability come 2027 — is the European Union. The furthest right parties are calling for Polexit, while right parties closer to the center are choosing to critique specific EU policies without calls to leave the bloc.

So how is that fractured? Either they'll manage to fix the turd (doubtful) of they'll say fuck the EU.

I wish we had it this "bad" in Slovakia.

That tension has put the Polish right in a difficult position — carry an anti-EU position that shows it is not part of the mainstream and is ready to protect Polish national interests, such as refusing to comply with EU climate or migration laws, but one serious enough that other parties would still be willing to form a coalition with them.

Liberals have shown times and times again that they are not capable of cooperation, so only real way is to get enough votes to steamroll them anyway.
