Palikot hurting PO in the polls?

Some even say he is the reason why the party is losing support. A while ago Palikot attended a press conference dressed in a tshirt that read "I'm a gay" and "I'm from SLD". Party leader Donal Tusk commented that "everyone has their Palikot". Recently Palikot staged a protest with a plastic penis and a gun aimed at the policemen who allegedly raped a student. Miroslaw Drzewiecki said that the protest was right but the form was inappropriate. Last week the party's authorities reprimanded Palikot, with Drzewiecki saying that they wanted to throw him out. Palikot managed to hold on to his position though, promising to refrain from such behavior. While some PO politicians say that his behavior has cost them some support, Jaroslaw Gowin believes that the party's falling support is caused by the fact that it refrains from commenting on important issues.
