   @rysiek far right just means "has not drunk the totalitarian koolaide" at this point.

     Konfederacja is a far-right libertarian unholy alliance of bigots, anti-EU conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and so on. Exit polls give them 6.2%, but exit polls tend to under-report support for the far-right, in my experience.

     The reason this is important is that if they got the ~10-13% they polled at a couple of weeks ago, they would probably form the government with PiS. Which would mean an even more far-right anti-EU government than we've ever seen in Poland so far. And that's… :oof:

     First exit poll results of Polish elections are available, and based on these it looks like PiS might not remain in power, which would be good news. Let's wait for official results though!

     About 73% of eligible voters voted. That is *massive* and phenomenal. Probably best result in any elections in #Poland since 1989. 🎉

     But two things I am mainly interested in are:

     - the result of Konfederacja, the far-right libertarians

     - how many people voted in the referendum part of this election cycle
