Our social studies class has a section reserved for running through how our political system is structured. We also have a minor awareness campaign (at least we did, when I turned 18), where people turning 18 (thus eligible to vote) will be sent some small brochures about our system and parties and a small copy of the constitution
We also have a smaller system than Poland: just one chamber in parliament and just one key figure, namely the Prime Minister (the monarch doesn't actually influence anything and just signs whatever they are told to). I tried getting into Polish politics leading up to the 2019 elections, but with little luck. The system with Sejm and Senate, PM and President, etc is more complex to figure out, and it doesn't help that my reading comprehension of Polish is low and anything on TV was just people I knew nothing of yelling horrible insults at other people I knew nothing of

Yeah it seems like you just know how stuff gets done, so you know who to elect and how people get elected. I guess people in Poland are not aware of how politics works in general, like you said, the system is too complex. But somehow people who promise to make it smaller suddenly forget they ever said that after they get elected... And our Sejm is quite literally same old people yelling at each other.
