Polish MEP Guide 2014
European Parliament Elections 2014
- overall results
2
Political parties
Civic Platform (PO), a member of EPP. One of the two
major parties on the Polish political scene since 2005, led
by Donald Tusk. In power since 2007. Despite its free
market roots, the party has been taking an increasingly
social-democratic stance on social issues, and is
supportive of the idea of state ownership of strategic
assets.
.
Law and Justice (PiS), a member of ECR. Since 2005 the
main competitor of PO, particularly strong in
conservative constituencies. The party’s platform
embraces economic interventionism and protectionism,
combined with a strong socially conservative stance.
Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), a member of S&D. A proEuropean social-democratic party, it is the historic
successor to the Polish communist party dissolved in
1990. Currently the third force in Polish politics, far
behind the dominant PO and PiS.
3
Political parties
Polish Peasant Party (PSL), a member of EPP. A centrist
agrarian party, representing mainly the interests of
agricultural workers and rural entrepreneurs. On social
issues the party maintains a conservative profile.
Capable of coalition with both the Right and Left of
Polish politics.. Since 2007, the junior party in Donald
Tusk’s governments.
New Right (NP) is a populist movement founded in 2011
by the eccentric libertarian Janusz Korwin-Mikke. The
New Right preaches unrestrained economic liberalism,
combined with pro-Russian and anti-EU nationalism. On
social issues, NP is openly anti-gay and pro-life.

Commentary
The neck-and-neck result was disappointing for the governing PO
party, which had hoped for a solid victory to lay the ground for
next year’s political battles. Of concern to PM Tusk is that the
2014 vote represents a 13% decline in the share of the PO vote and
a loss of 6 EP seats, and this downward trend may presage
electoral defeats in future elections.
Marek
Matraszek
Founding
Partner
The vote for Eurosceptic PiS represents a major boost for the
opposition party, as this result gives it 4 additional EP seats with
a 5% increase in voting share. The result also entrenches the
party’s hegemony on the Polish Right, as the two parties that
sought to capture the soft-right vote – the Solidarity Poland party,
and the Poland Together movement – both failed to cross the 5%
threshold.
The ability of the junior coalition partner PSL to maintain its
previous European election vote at 7% and its four MEP seats will
be a relief to its leader and current Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Economy Janusz Piechocinski.
7
Commentary
The remaining results may have significant impact on domestic politics.
Albeit relatively weak, the showing of the post-communist SLD (Democratic
Left Alliance), with 10%, will place the party in a good position to be the sole
representative of the Polish Left, and improves the chances of the SLD
joining the government after the 2015 elections if PO needs its support to
secure a parliamentary majority.
The major upset of the campaign was the breakthrough of the antiestablishment New Right Congress (KNP) with 7% of the vote. Led by the
maverick Janusz Korwin-Mikke, KNP espouses a combination of isolationist
nationalism, anti-EU sentiment and a libertarian economic philosophy, with
a liberal sprinkling of undisguised misogynism and general
political incorrectness.
