Is The Economist right on this one? What's the fate for Poland?

>Because their country needs Europe—on energy, Russia policy and EU subsidies—PiS’s Poland-first approach will ultimately prove self-defeating. Yet that leaves plenty of time to do lasting damage to Poland’s democratic institutions and political culture. Mr Kaczynski’s reign has already proved worryingly polarising. European politicians insist that theirs is a club of values, not convenience, and respect for the rule of law is baked into the treaties. But just as it cannot force governments to curb deficits or accept refugees, Brussels cannot impose liberalism by diktat; and other governments do not seem minded to rock the boat when they are trying to plug the leaks sprung by other crises. Mr Kaczynski will win this battle, because Europe has no idea how to fight.

I think the EU is more worried about Hungary locking up immigrants and gypsies in work camps.

>PiS signed CETA, as all the other leading parties in EU. Even tho the people were against it. This shows that corpos are on top. There is no democracy anyway. The rest is just for show.

I dunno. Why don't you think about that for a second and get back to us, OP?

Very good arguments. I'm not saying The Economist doesn't have a neoliberal slant, but that doesn't make everything within its pages meritless.
I mean, it clearly highlights some of the issues with the EU, like Article 7 and the fact it can't really enforce many of its own rules (like you would expect of a Confederacy). It's not really heaping on a lot of praise for the EU, and it's trying to explain the causes and actions of Poland's increasingly illiberal government.

Whatever. Try saying the same thing about Breitbart. You'll see how ridiculous you sound.

If Breitbart made good points, I'd agree. But Breitbart is very different from The Economist and you know it.

PiS will do as much damage to the economy as possible in 4 years of their term, then people will either vote for Nowoczesna/PO/KOD because they never learn and it'll be full "Judeopolonia"
OR Kukiz 15 and "Freedom" win, and get the country back on track.
Elections are rigged, since the 1980's

No need to do that. Unfortunately last time people felt for social money meme.
And the worst? There is no good party to exchange anyway, which is fuckin horror.
