Social Security as a Factor Contributing to the Evolution of the Political System in Poland after the Parliamentary Elections of 2015
Journal Title: Środkowoeuropejskie Studia Polityczne - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
The role and scope of the state’s activities in the field of social security are quite often problematic. This is related both to the attitude of citizens and to the use of social slogans, particularly in election campaigns. One could say that the electoral struggle is a kind of race, in which the winner is the politician or party whose promises are best suited to their voters. In order to address social security, politicians manipulate economic data. But above all, the influence of electoral promises (usually narrowed down to matters of welfare) on the evolution of the political system is not considered, despite the fact that this influence is considerable and very often neglected, as exemplified by the situation in the Republic of Poland after 2015.
