@schratze my favorite is this referendum question tho: "Are you in favour of admitting thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa, in line with the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European bureaucracy?" (https://referendum.gov.pl/referendum2023/en/pytania)

sent by a bureaucracy, somehow still "illegal"!

The results are disheartening. 96.7% said they don't want to take in these immigrants. Such an overwhelming majority.

@jackofalltrades @schratze it's a boycott, not agreement! the referendum got votes from 40% eligible voters, making it non-binding, while the parliament elections got 74%. the difference is voters specifically saying that they don't want a referendum ballot

@selfisekai

Without a boycott the results would perhaps not be as pronounced, but "no" would still get the majority, wouldn't it?

@jackofalltrades @schratze more than half voters going voted in the referendum (I assume some haven't heard about the referendum and just got the ballot together with Parliament ones), so pretty surely it would. 2020 Duda vs Trzaskowski was a similarly close and lost battle

@selfisekai @schratze A friend of mine was part of the team observing this election and she think this ridiculous propaganda actually backfired.

@schratze I lost my shit a while ago at a friend who said he didn't mind immigrants as long as they came into the country legally and he didn't understand why anyone wouldn't do that because they can ask for support if they need it. After I caught my breath I told him what immigrating had been like for me and it made him cry! And I'm a white English speaker legally here from a country this country approves of! I'm doing this on such an easy setting and people still have no idea how bad it is.

My boyfriend is going through the same, and the biggest party here now is staunchly anti immigration. I'm so scared of losing him, he wouldn't survive being deported.

@schratze to reduce the number of illegal immigrants in your country to zero, make all immigration legal.
