Have you wondered about the structural sources of the crisis of support for Polish social democracy? Are you interested in where and why the popular class has been voting for Law and Justice for years?
Who are the contemporary voters of the Left and Law and Justice?
Why is the distribution of support for the Left and Law and Justice dichotomous?

These questions were answered during the classes of Dr. Maria Wincławska, Professor at the Nicolaus Copernicus University. This conference was also the occasion for Dr Bartosz Rydlinski to present the results of his policy study ‘Social Democracy without the People? A case study of the Polish SLD‘.
