After nine years out of power, Donald Tusk is back — securing the support of the Polish parliament on Monday evening to head a new government.

The vote was 248 in favor and 201 against, cementing his return nearly two months after a coalition of opposition parties led by the former European Council president delivered a surprising win in the October 15 national election.

“I want to thank the Polish people,” Tusk told cheering MPs. “Thank you Poland, this is a great day, not for me, but for all those who for these long years deeply believed that it will still be better, that we will chase away the darkness, chase away the evil.”

Earlier on Monday, Poland’s outgoing Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki lost a vote of confidence 266-190 in the lower house of parliament, officially putting an end to the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party’s eight-year stint in power.

That paves the way for Tusk to forge a centrist, pro-EU government from his Civic Coalition party, the liberal Poland 2050 party, the conservative agrarian Polish People’s Party and the Left.

I'm reminded of all the literature on path dependence, and how historical processes, like old borders, continues to shape current events long after the rationales for and the peoples within those borders have completely changed.



Imperial borders ...

This is only "border" humans should be concerned about.

We are such an ignorant species.

I think these are the maps that P*D wanted to post. I found the whole graphic on another site, while trying to get to the article somewhere other than The Economist because I don't have a subscription... Big Grin

Turns out the Economist had an article back in 2018 with the same title..
