Abstract

Poland is due to hold parliamentary and presidential elections in 2015. Aleks Szczerbiak writes on the emergence of the anti-establishment Congress of the New Right (KNP) party, which gained the fourth largest share of the vote in the country’s European Parliament election in May. He argues that while the party’s performance will give it a platform to build on for next year’s elections, long-term it could suffer from the same problems as previous anti-establishment parties in Poland whose support evaporated fairly quickly after initial success.
