I'm proud to say that I voted.
Congratulations, Poland. Finally getting away from the "problematic democracy" label.
Now for everyone else.
So good. It's great to see that the slide from democracy was stopped in yet another country.
Will they sabotage the Country as they refuse to leave office?
Fuck the PIS
With a record breaking turnover of about 73%. That's astonishing, shows a true power of democracy. Brawo Polacy!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The right-wing populist Law and Justice party is on course to win most seats in Poland's general election, an exit poll suggests, but is unlikely to secure a third term in office.
Polls closed at 21:00 local time, but there were still queues of voters reported well into the night in Warsaw and Krakow, and into the early hours in Wroclaw.
Civic Coalition leader Donald Tusk has described the vote as Poland's most important since the fall of communism and vital for its future in the European Union.
If the initial exit poll based on a sample of 90,000 voters is borne out, Mr Tusk's party has more chance of forming a broad coalition, with centre-right Third Way and left-wing Lewica.
PiS supporters put on a brave face, chanting "Jaroslaw" and waving Polish flags, as the exit poll suggested they had lost 35 seats since the 2019 election.
However, PiS leaders showed signs of wavering in recent weeks, in an apparent bid to bring back voters attracted to the Ukraine-sceptic Confederation party.
