Among the numerous functions of political parties, the role of creating the governance system is highly significant. It manifests itself in the ability of political parties to establish permanent relations with the other parties and in this way provides the essence of a party system. The purpose of the present paper is to demonstrate the role the Law and Justice party (PiS) plays in the creation of the governance system. Since 2005, PiS has been one of the two dominant political parties struggling to win the parliamentary and presidential elections. In order to determine the scope of this party’s influence on the shape of the party system, their achievements in elections, parliament and Cabinet activity need to be analyzed. Such a quantitative analysis allows us to grasp PiS’s development trends in political competition. The paper discusses the reasons for their electoral success in 2005 as well as their defeat in 2007 and the aftermath of both these elections for the party’s competition to the government. The achievements of PiS confirm that this party has won the status of a party that structures the political competition, a status that has not been lost irrespective of the five elections at different levels that the party has lost. PiS has successfully adopted the postulates of the Left in terms of the economy and social issues, whereas it has maintained the image of a right-wing party in terms of the shape of the state and its moral foundations. PiS has managed to form an electorate that differs from other parties’ electorates in terms of its social and demographic properties as well as its political attitudes, which reinforces the position of PiS in the electoral struggle. Yet PiS has failed to establish a permanent coalition government. The elimination of Self-Defence (Samoobrona) and the League of Polish Families (LPR) from the Sejm has practically deprived PiS of any coalition potential, or has at least significantly reduced this potential. This, coupled with a continuously growing negative electorate, may turn out to constitute the main obstacle to PiS regaining power.

The article aims to explain the phenomenon of parliamentary party switching in the context of political strategy. Switching parties by legislators during the term is often seen as an opportunistic behavior, focused on obtaining attractive places on electoral party lists. The paper’s goals are to determine if the legislators’ will to switch parties is correlated with the party public support and, finally, if the deputies truly have better chances of winning reelection if they switch parties.

The political system transformation initiated in 1989 brought about dramatic changes in the functioning of local and regional government structures. The dimension of their political and social empowerment manifests itself through their own electoral cycle in the form of local government elections. The article is an attempt to expound the specificity of local elections in Poland. The factors behind this specificity indicate the restoration processes of local government, on-going decentralization processes, active use of mechanisms for implementing local government electoral law and the growing significance of elections at the local and regional level. These features make the local elections stand out from the parliamentary, presidential and European Parliament elections.

The aim of this article was to analyze the factors that influenced the creation and subsequent activity of the Civic Platform Spokesperson Team in the years 2006–2007. The subject of research was also the genesis of the institution of the Shadow Cabinet and presentation of circumstances surrounding the creation of the Civic Platform. The author's research intention was also to provide answers to the following questions: did the Team of Spokespersons contribute to an increase in public support for Civic Platform in the early parliamentary elections of 2007; did the activity of the Civic Platform's Shadow Cabinet improve the organisation of the political party's communication activities with its external environment, and did it lead to an increase in its advantage over its competitors?

Celem artykułu była analiza czynników warunkujących powstanie, a następnie działalność Zespołu Rzeczników Platformy Obywatelskiej w latach 2006–2007. Przedmiotem dociekań naukowych były również geneza instytucji gabinetu cieni oraz przedstawienie okoliczności dotyczących utworzenia Platformy Obywatelskiej. Zamierzeniem badawczym autora było również udzielenie odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: czy Zespół Rzeczników przyczynił się do wzrostu poparcia społecznego dla PO w przedterminowych wyborach parlamentarnych w 2007 r.?; czy działalność gabinetu cieni PO poprawiła sposób organizacji działań komunikacyjnych partii politycznej z jej otoczeniem zewnętrznym oraz czy doprowadziła do zwiększenia przewagi nad konkurentami?

Samoobrona Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej kierowana przez charyzmatycznego lidera A. Leppera w pierwszym dziesięcioleciu XXI w. była jedną z najciekawszych formacji na polskiej scenie politycznej. Jej sukces oraz upadek należy wiązać z określoną sytuacją polityczną w kraju oraz specyficznym apelem politycznym i sposobem działania ugrupowania. Jednocześnie trudno jednoznacznie sklasyfikować to stronnictwo. W artykule podjęto próbę naświetlenia podstawowych problemów związanych z umiejscowieniem Samoobrony RP w typologii partii politycznych.

Samoobrona RP (Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland), headed by its charismatic leader, Andrzej Lepper, was one of the most interesting parties on the Polish political scene throughout the first decade of the 21st century. Its success and ultimate collapse can be attributed to the political situation in Poland, the party’s unique political appeal and the way it conducted itself – all factors that make it difficult to classify the party. In this article the author shines a light on the fundamental problems concerning the typology of Samoobrona RP.

Samoobrona RP jako partia polityczna przez wiele lat była fenomenem na polskiej scenie politycznej. Okres jej świetności przypada na pierwsze lata XXI w. W wyborach w 2007 r. partia poniosła klęskę i straciła reprezentację w parlamencie. Tym niemniej do tego momentu była formacją, która zdobyła znaczące poparcie społeczne, a nawet weszła do rządu. Artykuł przedstawia wizje organizacji państwa polskiego propagowane przez Samoobronę. To właśnie te projekty zapewniały jej do pewnego okresu sukcesy polityczne. Populistyczny charakter programu Samoobrony był równocześnie jedną z przyczyn upadku tej partii.

The Self-Defense Party of the Republic of Poland was for many years a phenomenon on the Polish political scene. Its hayday was in the first years of the twenty-first century. However, the party suffered electoral defeat in the 2007 elections and lost representation in parliament. Up to that point it had been able to attract significant public support, and even contributed to the make-up of the government. The article presents the vision of the Polish state propagated by the Self-Defense Party. It was that vision that helped it to a period of political successes. The populist nature of the Self-Defense programme was at the same time one of the reasons for the party’s collapse.
