Overview

The transition from a mono-party Communist regime to democracy and pluralism resulted in new political parties mushrooming in the early 1990s. After the first free parliamentary elections in 1991 seats in the Sejm were divided among more than a dozen different parties (amongst them were such curiosity as Polska Partia Przyjaciół Piwa (Polish Party of the Beer Admirers), lead by a popular Polish comedy actor, Janusz Rewiński). The existence of so many parties in the Sejm was seen by many as being counter-productive towards the effectiveness of the parliament and a hindrance towards producing stable governments. Consequently electoral reform was undertaken and a electoral threshold for the Lower House was instituted, prior to the 1993 elections. The set threshold, required a minimum vote of 5% for parties and 8% for electoral coalitions. The threshold was set at the national, rather than divisional levels, and had the effect of preventing a large number of minor parties from winning seats in later elections. The threshold also prevented independent candidates from gaining election to the Sejm. Since 1990, the left side of the political scene has been dominated by former Communists turned Social Democrats. The right, has largely comprised of Solidarity activists and supporters, but has experienced deep divisions from the beginning, and showed less cohesiveness than the left. The right were unable to create a single bloc which could act as a lasting counterweight to the left-wing monolith, but instead, kept merging, splitting and renaming. Even so, the parties of the right did manage to win government from 1997-2001. Since the parliamentary elections of 2005, the right wing parties have dominated the political scene, and appear to be in their strongest position to date. Two important developments in the political landscape have taken place since 2005. Firstly, that the SLD (ex-communist) party is no longer the major, or one of the two major parties. Secondly, that the main political battleground is no longer between the ex-Solidarity right verses the ex-Communist left. This can be observed through the cooperation of parties such as the Democratic Party with the SLD (see Left and Democrats), the bitter rivalry between right wing parties Law and Justice and Civic Platform, as well as the emergence on the scene of controversial parties such as League of Polish Families and Self-Defense of the Republic of Poland (in Sejm since 2001). It is worth noting that the general public disapproval of politics and politicians as a whole, has resulted in all major parties excluding the very word "party" from their names, replacing it with words less associated with politics, such as "union", "platform", "league" or "alliance". Pluralism is used, often in different ways, across a wide range of topics: In science, the concept often describes the view that several methods, theories or points of view are legitimate or plausible, see Scientific pluralism. ...
