Is Brazil's example a warning for Poland? Prof. Dudek proposes a change in the presidential election

Political scientist Antoni Dudek discusses the implications of Brazil's recent presidential elections, highlighting the risks of direct elections for democracy. He suggests that Poland could benefit from considering indirect elections, which may foster compromise among political forces and lead to a president with broader societal acceptance. Dudek argues that direct elections often leave a significant portion of the electorate dissatisfied, potentially undermining national unity. He proposes that parliamentary elections could serve as a viable alternative, allowing for a president who, while not entirely neutral, might better represent the interests of a wider demographic and act as a unifying figure.
