The daily livestream from Poland's parliament, the Sejm, has become an online hit, drawing hundreds of thousands of viewers for each session. Some top a million.
Soon the latest must-watch series will make the leap to the big screen. Demand to follow key proceedings next week is so high that one of Warsaw's main cinemas, Kinoteka, is showing the whole thing, offering politics with popcorn.
The surge of public enthusiasm for tracking the ins-and-outs of political life follows an election in mid-October that saw a record turnout of over 70%.
Democracy is in vogue here, with women and young people particularly engaged.
Many were motivated to vote by stark warnings from the opposition that Poland was backsliding on some of the basic principles of democracy, under a right-wing PiS (Law and Justice Party) government.

It's such a movable feast that I'd describe the Just Stop Oil clowns as fascists because of their regime that their way is the ONLY way.
It's become a meaningless term, often used by those on the left to stifle debate.
I've lost count of the number of times recently I've heard the pro-Palestine/Hamas mob refer to Israel as a fascist state, when Israel are anything but.
Fascist.. au contraire, don't tell me you don't know the fact it's a popular term used to describe the opposite of 'nice/socialist'. Before the endless replies claiming socialism is communism, or conflating one with another for the purposes of right wing 'attack' diversion tactics from admitting acknowledgement of the clear meaning inferred.. let us say 'social democratic' socialism.. 'nice caring party' as opposed to 'nasty party'.
Anyhoo here's something to watch, get your popcorn out!
