but imaginary issues like immigration or attacking Ukrainians, then the radical right has it all given on the golden plate: not only the discussion is on the topics they are most comfortable and are ready to say the most radical shit, but they now dont' even have to venture out of their comfort zone

as a result Trzaskowski, who was polling at 40% initially, came up (according to exit polls) at around 30%, barely ahead of his main opponent. Meanwhile radical right candidate got 15% and ultra-radical-pro-Russian-antisemitic wanker got 6%.

As PiS canidate is not exactly a champion of democracy,

it means that more than half of the voters decided to vote for populists or radical right.

And what's most frustrating unless you are an utter idiot and/or head of the Trzaskowski campaign, it should be obvious that brown-nosing right wing voters simply does not end well.

Look what had happened in Britain to Tories, who tried to out-Farage Farage and out-Tommy Robinson Tommy Robinson. Starmer seems to be trying the same and we can already see it does not work for them.

But of course as the Trzaskowski's party is unable to learn from their mistakes, I am not optimistic. Since he now has to choose if he wants to try to appeal to 20% of ultra right wingers, or 10% of left wing voters, he will probably choose former and turn even more to the right.

It will of course not work, so the election will now hang on two things:
- do radical right voters hate PiS enough to decide not to vote for Nawrocki?
- are liberal voters ready to once again pinch their noses and vote for lesser evil with utter disgust just to prevent PiS candidate from winning?
