Following the Polish elections last week, the assumption is that over the next few weeks a new government will form as a result of a coalition between three parties led by Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition (Koalicja Obywatelska or “KO”), a so-called “centre right” party with a strong pro-EU stance and a socially liberal agenda. 

KO are expected to be joined by the newly formed “Third Way” party, a pro-EU party which is seen to consist of farmers, the intelligentsia and liberal Catholics, and the “New Left”, a radically left wing party explicitly promoting unrestricted abortion, the LGBTQ agenda, and UK-style sex education in schools.
