Koncepcja polityki wobec rodziny w programach wyborczych Prawa i Sprawiedliwości z lat 2007–2014

Within the context of an increased interest in family and family policy, as well as political and social changes that have been occurring in Poland lately (parliamentary election, gaining power by the Law and Justice party, introduction of new instruments of family policy), it is worth having a look at both projects and changes in family social policy over the course of time and proposals of optimum solutions for families put forward by the ruling political party. Thus, politicians are the ones, who, through their visions and projects, affect directly the creation of formal, legal framework of the family’s functioning, determine the direction and forms of legislative initiatives undertaken within the scope of family policy, while their ideas and notions are verified by the society expressed in the results of parliamentary elections. Therefore, in this article, I shall analyse the proposed solutions for family-related problems expressed over the years 2007–2014 in the election programmes of politicians of Law and Justice – a political party, whose goals in and plans expressed in their election programme, considering the results of parliamentary elections and public support poles in present time Poland, are, and will be, shaping family policy in Poland over the next several years.

On the Use of Selected Ordination Techniques to Analyze the Parliamentary Election Results

Ordination techniques such as CCA (Canonical Correspondence Analysis) or RDA (Redundancy Analysis) are very popular in ecological research but almost completely unknown in, for example, socio-economic research. The goal of this paper is to concisely organize the concepts and terminology associated with ordination and to present the possibilities of its application in social research with an example of the analysis of the 2015 parliamentary elections results.

Seat-vote elasticity and the provincial distribution of government spending in Turkey

The main question to be explored in this paper is, whether results of parliamentary elections have an impact on the provincial per-capita government spending. A firmly related question to which the literature has sought an answer and which also assists the effort to answer the question at the center of this study is how a government, interested in maximizing its electoral support, allocates government spending across administrative units (i.e. provinces for Turkey, states for the US). A possible answer to be given to this question relies in the seat-vote elasticities in provinces. The term stands for a coefficient that shows the relation between changes in percentage of seats in response to changes in the percentages of votes. It has been argued that electoral systems, with predominantly majoritarian characteristics, tend to display higher levels of seat-vote elasticity whereas systems mainly revealing proportional traits are characterized by lower levels of seat-vote elasticity. Turkish parliamentary electoral system is proportional election. Yet, levels of seat-vote elasticities may still be a determinant in the allocation of government spending across provinces in Turkey. With regards to the relation between seat-vote elasticity and per capita government spending, it is a widely held belief that the administrative units with a high level of seat-vote elasticity should benefit more from government spending, and those with low level of seat-vote elasticity should benefit less. The paper begins with the calculation of the seat-vote elasticities for 67 provinces for the six general elections held between 1990 and 2013. Then these seat-vote elasticity figures are used as explanatory variables in a fixed effects regression in which the dependent variable is the shares of per capita government spending across provinces. Results will be compared with the findings of the literature that conclude as highly elastic seat-vote relation demands more per capita government spending.

Parliamentary elections create more ‘options’: Evidences from world’s largest democracy ‘India’

The present research focuses on the management of derivative options contracts and associated options strategies that can be adequately utilized to generate profit out of an uncertain and high-volatile environment. The situation is the days preceding the declaration of the results of parliamentary elections of the world’s largest democracy – India. This research is based on the real life experience of traders and portfolio managers entrusted with the task of maximizing return and minimizing risk on their investments in such uncertain situation. In 2004, Parliamentary elections in India, post-election results, the Indian capital market plunged to 20 per cent and had hit the lower circuit. In 2009 elections, the market rose to 20 per cent, hit the upper circuit. While in 2014 it remained highly volatile. The study explored that how exchange traded Nifty Index Options derivative contracts had helped participants in winning significant returns of 72– 400 per cent that too in an uncertain environment, in little duration of time. This is significant from a traders’ perspective because the scenarios discussed depict highly uncertain situation and suggested the way ahead in terms of selection of suitable option strategies in highly volatile market conditions. The scenario presented in this research study can well be applied to other democracies as well.

Subcarpathian Voivodship on the Electoral Map of Poland (1989-2014)

The aim of the article was to present electoral activities diversification as well as political preferences of the citizens of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship in years 1989-2014. The measure of the conducted analyses were the results of parliamentary and European Parliament elections, by means of which it was possible to indicate recurring cyclicality of right-wing political sympathies of the citizens of the Subcarpathian Voivodeship, as well as noticable, with regards to the whole country, election turnout. The primary part of the conducted analysis was an attempt to answer the question of what determined the change of political preferences and if contemporary electoral activity and political sympathies reflect historical and cultural determinants. Key words: Subcarpathian Voivodeship, elections, electoral, political parties

Jak głosują wyborcy w warunkach preferencyjnych list wyborczych: przypadek Polski

The paper presents some consequences of using semi-open lists, including the preferential vote mechanism, in parliamentary elections in Poland. The Authors discuss whose role in assigning parliamentary seats is greater: that of party organizations’ leaders, who decide on the order of candidates on electoral lists, or that of citizens who cast preferential votes. The paper focuses in the elections in the years 2001–2011, in which, according to poll data, party voting dominated over personal voting. The results of parliamentary elections in Poland show that ballot position effects are persistently present and that people tend to vote for list leaders in their constituencies. However, a simulation of a closed-list mechanism shows that in 2001–2011, ca 20 per cent of parliamentary seats were assigned as a result of the interventionist impact of the preferential vote on the candidate lists established by parties. The ability to vote for a specific candidate is rather important for Poles. The Authors also point out that the candidates from the top of party lists may obtain such good results because voters resort to simple reasoning and vote for those from the top of a list, irrespective of the nature of the list itself. (However, the effect does not seem to be very significant).

Korelacje poziomu bezrobocia i wyników wyborów do Sejmu Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej

The results of opinion polls in Poland and in the EU show that unemployment is treated as the most significant social issue. The identification of the directions of correlations and their interrelations allows us to verify the hypothesis that such a determined outlook of public opinion should imply a strong correlation between unemployment rates and the results of parliamentary elections. The analysis takes into account selected contextual variables. As a result, the analysis of the strength of correlation and determination indicators is carried out using linear regression. Determination indicators allow indirect conclusions to be drawn on the level of influence exerted by the unemployment rate on the outcome of elections. The examined correlations are juxtaposed against the correlation of income levels and election results to indicate stronger relations between these variables and the results of elections than those that were the main subject of the analysis.

The Candidates of the Liberal Unionist Party, 1886–1912*

Historians have hitherto based discussion of the electoral performance of the Liberal Unionist Party on incomplete data regarding the candidates of the party, as published sources, including F.W.S. Craig's British Parliamentary Election Results, 1885–1918, the standard reference work, include a number of cases where the party label of a Unionist candidate (either Liberal Unionist or Conservative) is uncertain or incorrect. Utilising a wide range of primary and secondary sources, this article resolves a number of these cases, and thus creates the most accurate list of Liberal Unionist candidates available. The creation of this list allows for accurate analysis of the party's history, and the article makes some preliminary observations based on the data presented. Among these observations are that the Liberal Unionists comprised a consistent percentage of the overall Unionist Party in the house of commons, that the number of seats contested by Liberal Unionists remained steady through the January 1910 election, and that existing interpretations of the electoral pact between the Liberal Unionists and Conservatives may be flawed.
