  • Poland in the EU Unavoidable Marginalisation with a Small Question Mark
    PERSPECTIVE Warsaw Poland in the EU Unavoidable marginalisation with a small question mark by GRZEGORZ GROMADZKI February 2018 n Under the current Law and Justice (PiS) government, Poland’s relations with EU institu- tions have sunk into a deep crisis. However, the problems occurred long before this. Looking at the last quarter-century, one notices a significant change in paradigms re- garding Poland’s relations with the EU. These changes have taken the country away from the main trend of European integration, from pro-integrational determination from the times of its accession to the EU, through integrational stagnation which last- ed until the end of the PO-PSL coalition government, up to the regress in integration which started when PiS came to power in 2015. n The most likely scenario for Poland’s relations with the EU until the end of the next Sejm in 2023, provided PiS continues to rule Poland, is that the sharp conflict with European institutions over Poland’s government breaching the rule of law will continue. Less prob- able is that Poland under PiS will reach a modus vivendi with the European Union (the second scenario), as this would require Warsaw to back down from actions that pose a threat to liberal democracy. Even more unlikely is a third scenario – an attempt to return to the situation that existed before the PiS government – if the current opposition wins in 2019, of which, as yet, there are no indications. All three scenarios spell Poland’s unavoid- able marginalisation in the EU. The first one would end with Poland being ostracised.

  • Jak Zostać Lubianym Politykiem? Analiza Sondaży Zaufania Do Polityków CBOS W Latach 2000-2010
    Jak zostać lubianym politykiem? Analiza sondaży zaufania do polityków CBOS w latach 2000-2010 Wysoki poziom zaufania zdobywają w Polsce politycy, którzy najczęściej należą do wąskiej grupy liderów partyjnych. Tylko dzięki temu mogę pełnić ważne funkcje państwowe i publiczne, dające rozpoznawalność i popularność. Zostają oni premierami, marszałkami Sejmu i Senatu, ministrami oraz szefami partii i klubów parlamentarnych. Jeśli zatem szukamy odpowiedzi na pytanie, dlaczego trudno jest nowej partii przekroczyć pięcioprocentowy próg w wyborach parlamentarnych, to warto zauważyć, że nowa ugrupowanie potrzebuje lidera, do którego poziom zaufania przekracza próg 40%. Zaufanie takie jest bardzo trudne do osiągnięcia dla polityków spoza wąskiego grona liderów partyjnych. Ta praktyczna bariera dla nowych partii jest znacznie poważniejsza od formalnych barier prawnych lub finansowych. Sondażowy wskaźnik zaufania społecznego do polityków obok poparcia dla partii politycznych odzwierciedla zmiany nastrojów społecznych. Dla liderów politycznych wskaźnik zaufania przekłada się na siłę polityczną w obrębie swojego ugrupowania oraz szerzej – na całej scenie politycznej. Pozwala na przykład w odpowiednim momencie na powołanie nowego ugrupowania, zwiększa również szansę na objęcie lub utrzymanie mocnej pozycji w partii, a także dość często jest podstawą do objęcia funkcji rządowej. Wpływowi liderzy partyjni są rozpoznawalni oraz lubiani. Nie zawsze zaufanie społeczne prowadzi do dobrego wyniku w wyborach, na przykład wyborach prezydenckich. Poziom zaufania oznacza bowiem raczej ogólny emocjonalny stosunek wyborców do polityka, nie daje jednak podstawy do określenia, jak silne są te emocje. Istnieje bowiem różnica między politykiem lubianym, który otrzymuje wysoki poziom zaufania, a politykiem charyzmatycznym, posiadającym tzw. „twardy elektorat”, którego zaufanie przekłada się na głosy w wyborach niezależnie od siły konkurencji. W 1995 roku wysoki poziom zaufania do Jacka Kuronia nie dał mu dobrego wyniku wyborczego.

The main reason why politicians are changing „their colors” - is that they want to become the celebrities. This work is an attempt of research about possible motivation of those figures.
