Since Friday, Gazeta Wyborcza has been pumping up emotions in connection with the poll published today. Jarosław Kurski announced a dramatic surprise in the editorial. While the poll turned out to be a big grenade, it enabled Donald Tusk to terrorize and frighten potential partners as early as the weekend.
The results of this poll come as a dramatic surprise. Who knows, maybe not the last alarm bell for the Democrats. Many of you, also on our conviction, supported a large, citizens’ election poll of Stichting Forum Lange Tafel with donations. A professional study has just been carried out on four thousand samples by a certified Kantar Public studio. This is not a poll commissioned by any party for party money. This is a survey devised and funded by citizens, for citizens. It should answer the question: Will it be possible to beat PiS if the Democrats from four lists, three lists, two lists or one common list go to the election? Ladies and gentlemen, we already have these results. We will announce them on Monday morning in “Wyborcza”. An intensive analysis is now underway, broken down by age groups, declared attendance, political affiliations and mandates in the next Sejm
– announced in GW Kurski.
The research did not turn out to be particularly groundbreaking or sensational. According to GW, the best result will be achieved if the united opposition goes to the elections on one list. The point is that the publication raised many concerns and doubts regarding the presentation of the results and the methodology of counting seats. Moreover, the variant that seems most realistic today, namely a situation in which the KO and the Left go to the elections separately, and PSL and Polska 2050 as a coalition, has not been investigated.

However, the announcement of this publication allowed Donald Tusk to point a gun at the temples of potential partners this weekend and even threaten them if they don’t decide on one list.
I don’t really care who’s on the list. Hołownia wants to get ahead of me on the list? Please. In general, folks, that’s not the point… After all, I’m going to hell if we lose this election. He’s also going to hell, a hotter kettle for sure, because at least I’m trying. I don’t want to tease him because I’m sure he has good will.
– said the PO leader during one of the meetings with voters.
Donald Tusk also threatened that if party leaders failed to come up with a joint list, he would have to ask all Poles fed up with PiS to create a common, strongest list that PiS could beat. As I understand this threat, Tusk vows to split up the smaller factions and take out anyone who wants to compile such a list with him. On Twitter, the PO leader also stated in a tone that brooked no opposition:
There will be one list
– He wrote.
Jan Grabiec threatens opposition leaders in a similar way, arguing that one list or nothing.
Either the party leaders will understand this, or there will be no such parties
Grabiec threatened.
Today it can be seen that the poll announced for the weekend, i.e. before major election rallies, was a simple setup with Tusk. A setup that allows the PO leader to put a gun to the temples of lesser partners and pin them against the wall. Is anyone else surprised that leaders of smaller groups are afraid to cooperate with such a terrorist who, when a request fails, tries to force everyone to cooperate by threatening?
Will this rhetoric work? There is a belief in the PSL that this party is on the joint list of the EP, the so-called European coalition lost half a million votes and they simply do not count on a repeat of the entertainment. The left would prefer to go alone and unite left circles, but will it withstand the pressure? Will individual politicians who will be hunted by Donald Tusk (as actually announced) be able to resist it? Especially since there is no shortage of votes on the left that one list might be more beneficial. A big proponent of this variation is leftist Karolina Pawliczak, who acts as if she’s looking out for a spot on Tusk’s list.
And finally the question: will the opposition, so quarrelsome and divided at the beginning, be able to convince the Poles that they can co-govern after the elections? So far that has not succeeded, because according to various polls, more than half of Poles are convinced that PiS will win a third term. And they are probably right. Hence the total panic in the opposition.
