Donald Tusk is mainstreaming the fringe far-right idea of Polexit to instrumentally use it in the next elections – to try and scare people away from voting on PiS.

This will massively backfire, just as mainstreaming Brexit massively backfired in the UK.

There is no lack of reasons not to vote for PiS. Instead of mainstreaming this dangerous crap, Tusk could focus on literally anything else.

@rysiek Was it really fringe before though? PiS was increasingly open about it back when it was the government. So has been a large part of the increasingly popular right.

@marcink it is fringe – just check which political parties *explicitly* call for it or make it a part of their official program.

PiS, and even some parties to the right of PiS, are of course winking towards it, and keep blaming the EU for every possible evil, but they do not *explicitly* call for Polexit.

Yes, Polexit is creeping into mainstream politics in Poland, and has been for years. But explicitly mentioning it by the PM is a great way to speed that mainstreaming up.
