Górny Śląsk jest regionem, którego historia i skład etniczny nastręczają problemów interpretacyjnych. Dziś te problemy są teoretyczne, lecz w roku 1918 decyzje dotyczące jego losów musiały zostać podjęte natychmiast. Rozwiązanie zaproponowane w czasie Konferencji paryskiej przewidywało przeprowadzenie plebiscytu, w którym to ludność miała rozstrzygnąć o swych losach. W roku 1921 okazało się jednak, że owo remedium nie do końca spełniło oczekiwania, wtedy podniesiona została koncepcja Wolnego Regionu Śląsk. Choć nie miała ona większych konsekwencji politycznych, samo jej pojawienie się jest fenomenem wartym uwagi.

Upper Silesia is a region, which history and ethnic composition cause problems of interpretation. Today the problems are theoretical, but in 1918 decisions concerning the region needed to be made immediately. Solution presented on Paris Peace Conference included plebiscite, during which the population were to decide about its future. In 1921 it turned out, that the new remedy had not met expectations. Then a new solution appeared – Free Region of Silesia. Although political consequences of the idea were rather marginal, the mere manifestation was a rare phenomena.

The region of Upper Silesia is recognised as a particular due to the forms of social and political behaviour of a part of its population. Upper Silesians, as ethnic group, are convinced about their separateness. Due to that fact, they are, at least to some extent, an example of a group in which voters' alignments are based on the opposition centre-periphery. This is certainly true for the protagonists of Silesian regional movement, however, this article deals with the problem whether average voter acts similarly. Moreover, the article is a study of a possibility to create an ethnoregionalist party in the future and of consequences that it may have on the politics in the region.
