So far Poland has experienced extremely high levels of electoral volatility, which indicated a lack of strong links between political parties and voters. Thus, the assumption may be made that the electoral decision in Poland is based on substantive reasons, such as, for example, the closest to voters solutions to the most important problems, proposed by political parties. However, since 2005, in Poland we have had a strong emotional polarization of the political scene. Two major parties – Platforma Obywatelska [the Civic Platform] and Prawo i Sprawiedliwość [Law and Justice] − effectively managed the political conflict (by reference to social solidarity and liberalism) and polarized the Polish political scene, using the social processes (increasing economic and cultural differences), divided the Poles into two camps and provided foundations to form identification with the party, which according to the theory determines the electoral decision, regardless of other factors. This article aims to answer the question whether in the light of changes on the political scene the Poles’ electoral decision is driven by substantive assessment of the party or maybe cultural wars in Poland contributed to creating a relatively stable identification with the party determining the electoral decision irrespective of other factors. Empirical analyses on the parliamentary election of 2011 reveal that existing in Poland identification with parties strongly determines the voting decision, weakening then the impact of other variables, including socio-demographic ones. Nevertheless, some voters make a rational decision and choose the party best reflecting their political beliefs, or vote strategically.

The strength of the parliament in the political system is largely dependent on its profes- sionalism defined by the activity of its deputies. Polish MPs’ level of education is high, of- ten higher than the West European average. The aim of this paper is to find out whether candidates’ education is an electoral criterion, whether voters base their decisions on the prospective deputies’ qualifications and skills confirmed by university diplomas. The study the results of which I present below was carried out between December 2018 and February 2019 as part of the nationwide research project Political preferences. Attitudes – Identifica- tions – Behaviors. It was conducted with the application of the survey questionnaire method.

Siła parlamentu w systemie politycznym w znaczącym stopniu zależy od jego profesjonalizmu definiowanego działaniami podejmowanymi przez deputowanych. Poziom wykształcenia posłów w polskim parlamencie jest wysoki, niejednokrotnie wyższy od średniej na zachodzie. Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie czy wykształcenie kandydatów na posłów stanowi kryterium wyborcze, czy wyborcy podejmując decyzje wyborcze zwracają uwagę na kwali- fikacje i umiejętności kandydujących do parlamentu potwierdzone dyplomami uczelni wyż- szych. Badania, których wyniki prezentuję poniżej, zostały przeprowadzone w okresie gru- dzień 2018 – luty 2019 w ramach ogólnopolskiego projektu badawczego Preferencje polityczne. Postawy – Identyfikacje – Zachowania. Przeprowadzono je metodą kwestionariusza ankiety.
