Held in June 2009, the Women’s Congress gave rise to a civic project of an act that would guarantee the candidates in the parliamentary elections an equal share in the political representation on the electoral lists. This project evoked a medial debate on the issue of parity in political representation. The debate lasted for a year and a half, granting both sides enough time to presents their lines of argumentation. The supporters of the idea of parity focused on the notion of social justice, social benefits from the use the resource of women’s aptitudes and competences, and on covering by political action of those areas of social life that had already been ignored by men. The opponents, on the other hand, pointed out that the idea of parity meant another top-down, despotic intervention in the statistic figures relating to the Polish society. This social action was also claimed to cause the danger of a never-ending spiral of conflicted claims and demands of newer and newer social groups. First and foremost, the idea of parity was said to ridicule the women-politicians, since it produced an image of a woman who is not capable of reaching political success without support. The medial debate moved from the press to the Polish parliament. The debate ended in a rise in the parity quota for the Polish parliamentary system to 35 per cent. When signed by the President of Poland, the new law became effective for the elections for the Polish and the European Parliaments, commune and district councils as well as provincial diets. The guaranteed 35 per cent did not bring about any significant increase in the presence of women in the Polish parliament. The percentage of their political representation in the parliament rose from 20 to 23 per cent.

Problem zakłócenia reprezentatywności wyborów do Sejmu RP jest powszechnie zauważalny. Dochodzi dziś do sytuacji, w których głos mieszkańców jednego okręgu wyborczego potrafi ważyć nawet o połowę mniej, niż mieszkańca innego z okręgów wyborczych. Celem niniejszej pracy jest przedstawienie postulatów de lege ferenda, mających zwiększyć poziom reprezentatywności wyborów do Sejmu. W tym celu autorzy dokonują analizy instytucjonalno-prawnej oraz klasycznej analizy systemowej, wskazując na niedomagania obecnego systemu wyborczego i proponując nowe rozwiązania prawne. Autorzy stawiają pytania badawcze: (1) Czy obecny system wyborczy zapewnia faktyczną reprezentatywność wyborów do Sejmu RP? (2) Czy istnieje możliwość zapewnienia faktycznej reprezentatywności wyborów do Sejmu RP? Wnioski płynące z analizy ukazują, że badany problem wydaje się być coraz poważniejszy zarówno dla samego kształtu demokracji, jak i społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, jednak istnieją rozwiązania prawne, które mogą zwiększyć poziom reprezentatywności wyborów do Sejmu.

The problem of distortion of the representativeness of elections to the Sejm of the Republic of Poland is widely noticed. Now, the vote of the inhabitants of one constituency may weigh less that in another. The aim of this paper is to present de lege ferenda postulates to increase the level of representativeness of Sejm elections. The authors carry out a legal analysis and a classical systemic analysis, pointing out the deficiencies of the current electoral system and proposing solutions. There are research questions: (1) Does the current electoral system ensure that elections to the Sejm are truly representative? (2) Is it possible to ensure that elections to the Sejm are truly representative? The conclusions of the analysis show that the problem under study appears to be increasingly serious for the democracy and civil society, but there are legal solutions that can increase the level of representativeness of Sejm elections.
