Very significant vote in Poland. They know that socialism, German style is what killed them in the past, and they don’t like it one damn bit. Merkel being actually an East German and therefore not to be trusted.

"a Eurosceptic party that is against immigration, wants family-focused welfare spending and has threatened to ban abortion and in-vitro fertilisation."

Sounds like my dream tam.

BTW I think the emphasis here is not "increase welfare spending," but "focus welfare on intact, normal families, i.e. married mother and father with children.

This was not about socialism v/s capitalism. If anything, on that matter, this new government leans more towards socialism light

on SOCIAL matters, the guardian hates them and calls them homophobic, because PiS says that gay partnership is unthinkable, leave alone gay marriage

The guardian calls them racist as they don't want Moslems in Poland -- but Poles are very friendly to all and if you are Christian, the colour of your skin doesn't matter to them
