On 25th October Poland will hold parliamentary elections whose outcome could determine the shape of the country鈥檚 political scene for years to come. Polls suggest that Poland鈥檚 main right-wing opposition Law and Justice (PiS) will emerge as the largest party following parliamentary. However, no grouping in post-communist Poland has ever secured an overall parliamentary majority and given a potential shortage of potential coalition partners, there is still a chance that the current governing, party the liberal Civic Platform (PO), could remain in office. Much will depend on the performance of several smaller parties, whose chances of entering parliament appear finely balanced. In this roundtable event leading specialists on Polish politics and society discuss the election results and their implications both for the future direction of Poland and the politics of the wider EU.
