  • PIS (Law and Justice) is national-conservative far-right party that in reality is also pro-social market, Konfederacja / Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość (Confederation or in full Confederation Liberty and Independence) is somewhat similar to Law and Justice but they are more pro-free market, and from what we’ve seen so far they were against Law and Justice in most of the votes and they mostly voted together with Civic Platform.

    We also have centrist parties like Trzecia Droga (Third Way) or Koalicja Obywatelska (Civic Coalition) that is coalition of parties previously known as Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform), Nowoczesna (Modern), iPL (Polish Initiative) and Zieloni (Greens).

    Finally we also have left-wing Lewica (The Left) which is coalition of multitude of smaller parties that were centre-left/far-left.

    The results of the 2023 parliament votes are:

    • Law and Justice 35.38% (194 mandates)
    • Civic Coalition 30.70% (157 mandates)
    • Third Way 14.40% (65 mandates)
    • The Left 8.61% (26 mandates)
    • Confederation 7.16% (18 mandates)

    So we have 248 mandates for centrist/left-wing parties that probably will work together against 194 mandates for Law and Justice alone or 212 mandates if they are voting with Confederation (that probably won’t be the case in votes around economic/social votings).

    The sad thing is that the president is literally with Law and Justice and until we vote him out in 2025, the opposition (even with Confederation) won’t have majority to vote down his veto. Also I hope there won’t be any issues from the president around forming the new government with opposition instead of Law and Justice even if they had majority.

    Hope this helps a little move around here.
