Kukiz'15 is a right-wing political party in Poland led by punk musician Paweł Kukiz. It is not formally registered as a political party, as one of their key postulates is "destroying particracy".[4]
History
The movement was founded after Kukiz stood in the 2015 presidential election, winning 21% of the vote and coming in third during the election's first round. Kukiz's primary issue during the election was the replacement of Poland's proportional representation electoral system with single member constituencies,[5][6] which was the subject of a referendum in September 2015.
The movement is particularly popular among young people, with Kukiz having won 42% among voters aged 18 to 29 in the Presidential elections 2015.[7]
In the 2015 parliamentary election Kukiz'15 cooperated with the far-right National Movement; 5 of Kukiz' 40 parliamentary seats are held by members of the National Movement.[8]
