In an interview with Agencja Informacyjna Polska Press Paweł Kukiz, head of the Kukiz ’15 movement and former associate of Bezpartyjni Samorządowcy, said:

It may happen that we do not make it into the Sejm, or that we do, but PiS or PO can govern on their own anyway. In that case, I will probably give up my seat in this Sejm. Because I see no reason to keep banging my head against a wall until the end of my life. I’d rather travel around Poland, sing songs and tell people at concerts to come to their senses, wake up and see how they are being abused by this bandit system.

The politician who contributed to Bronisław Komorowski’s defeat in the presidential election and PO’s defeat in the parliamentary election is becoming increasingly disappointed with politics:

[...] we have a situation involving a stupid system that is anti-citizen. [...] the overwhelming majority of people who ran for Parliament, sought a seat in Parliament and promised their voters a programme or presented certain demands can withdraw from that programme with impunity. They can simply—as young people say—“blow off” the voter. Elections in Poland are a fiction. An MP is not bound by voters’ instructions—there is even such a provision in the Constitution. In other words, conduct that is morally and ethically reprehensible is additionally sanctioned by law. For example—I tell you that I will give you this pen, and after the election I say: “Get lost.” And you cannot do anything to me.
