Political parties in Poland
Political parties in Poland are organizations that represent different ideas and policies, competing in elections to influence government decisions. The main parties range from conservative and right-leaning groups favoring tradition and nationalism, to liberal and left-leaning groups advocating social reforms and progressive values. The dominant party for years has been Law and Justice (PiS), emphasizing nationalism and social conservatism. Other key parties include Civic Platform (PO), which leans liberal and pro-European, and smaller parties that represent various perspectives. These parties form coalitions or oppose each other to shape Poland's policies, governance, and future direction.
