Kukiz'15
Kukiz's Movement (Polish: Ruch Kukiza) is a conservative political party in Poland led by former punk rocker Paweł Kukiz. The party was founded after Kukiz stood in the 2015 presidential election, winning 21% of the vote and coming third. Kukiz's primary issue is the replacement of Poland's proportional representation electoral system with single member first past the post constituencies,[1][2] which is the subject of a referendum in September 2015.
After the presidential election, Kukiz's Movement lost a significant amount of support to Law and Justice, whose candidate won the election,[3] and in July 2015, polled around 12% ahead of the October 2015 parliamentary election.
The party is particularly popular among young people, with Kukiz having won 42% among voters aged 18 to 29.[3]
