Better Poland
Better Poland (Polish: Lepsza Polska, LP) is a minor Polish green party. It was founded on 9 August 2010 and registered the next day. The party was founded by an environmental activist Cezary Stachoń, as well as his family and friends. The founder of the party, Cezary Stachoń, ran for the Mayor of Warsaw in 2010. He won 624 votes, obtaining 0.10% of the popular vote in Warsaw. The party did not stand in any other Polish elections since then. Despite its inactivity, the party is still registered and submits financial reports as of 2023.
The party is mainly concerned with environmental issues and sustainability. Better Poland argues that the Polish environment is in tragic shape and advocates extensive measures to alleviate this. The party believes that Poland needs to stop coal exploitation and move beyond other unsustainable energy sources such as natural gas in favour of renewable energy. The party also argues that because of declining availability of energy sources and eroding environment, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of energy and other resources, even if by a small amount.
On 5 March 2010, Cezary Stachoń wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk, warning the minister of dire issues in Poland such as energy insecurity, progressing destruction of the environment, wealth inequality and housing insecurity. Stachoń called for sustainable and ecological policies that would save the Polish environment while also alleviating the plight of the poorest parts of the population.
As the letter went unanswered, Stachoń decided to found his own party. The party was founded on 9 August 2010, and was formally registered the next day. Cezary Stachoń became the president of the party, while Władysław Stachoń was chosen as the party's treasures. One of the co-founders was also Wioleta Rydzewska.
In October 2010, Cezary Stachoń became one of eleven candidates for the Mayor of Warsaw, seeking to defeat the incumbent Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz from the Civic Platform.
While Stachoń was only a minor candidate, his young age was highlighted - he was only 35 at the time, being the youngest candidate in the election. Rzeczpospolita labelled him the "youth representative". In interviews, Stachoń particularly focused on his plan to move away from coal by building energy-efficient 'passive houses', which would consume six to eight times less energy than traditional ones. He also discussed the importance of improving and encouraging public transport, as well as promoting healthy and green lifestyle.
Cezary Stachoń participated in all three debates organised for the candidates for Mayor of Warsaw. He campaigned on environmental issues while also offering proposals for solving the traffic problems of the city and pledged to start developing the schools of Warsaw, which he believed to be neglected.
The incumbent mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz won the election by a large margin. Stachoń gained a total of 624 votes, winning 0.10% of the popular vote.
