Right-wing return 

Law and Justice Party Wins in Poland’s Parliamentary Elections

Poland’s chief right-wing opposition party, out of power for nearly a decade, came roaring back in parliamentary voting Sunday, apparently seizing control of the government with a platform that mixes calls for higher wages with appeals to traditional Catholic values.

Private exit polls, released immediately after voting ended Sunday evening, showed the party, Law and Justice, drawing 39.1 percent of the vote, trouncing Civic Platform, the center-right party that has led Poland since 2007, which got 23.4 percent.

Law and Justice immediately declared victory and Civic Platform conceded defeat, although the final results will not be made official until Tuesday.
