Polls point to PO and Self-Defense securing most seats in Euro elections

The Civic Platform (PO) and Samoobrona (Self-Defense) have come top all the major pre-Euro election opinion polls, and according to the statistics gleaned from the surveys, they are likely to receive between 18 to 19 and 9 to 11 seats in the European Parliament, respectively. Following on behind are Law and Justice (PiS) and the Polish Family League (LPR), which both enjoy a stable position in the rankings and are likely to get between 4 and 9 seats each. The coalition of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and the Labor Union (UP) is touted as likely to surpass the 5% minimum support threshold and secure around 5 seats. Trailing behind are the Polish Peasants Party (PSL), Polish Social Democracy (SdPl) and the Freedom Union (UW) that all hover around the threshold, and should they cross it, they will each get around 3 seats. The total number of seats in the European Parliament for representatives from this country is 54. (Gazeta Wyborcza p. 3) M.G
