Sejm RP youtube channel (basically parliamant) recently got 600k subscribers and live streams have over 1M views
Huh, interesting! I take it Polish folks are generally more widely engaged in politics?
Not at all. Just after 8 years of Right wing party (PiS) lost the elections in october to Left wing coalition. Right now everyone wants to see the fulfillment of promises and reapair of all the things that they broke.
Also it is extremely funny to watch grown ass men in suits fight with fire extinguishers
The current Marshal of the Sejm is a showman. He was a host of the Polish version of Got Talent. He often says funny retorts and is less uptight than other Marshals. Some even call the live stream “Sejmflix” now.
But also members of the previous ruling party, PiS, are like… super stupid. I don't know if populist parties are like that everywhere, but PiS politicians often say things so ridiculous, that they are just funny. Well, they weren't so funny, when they had a majority.
