From my understanding, when results are this close, the losing part sees how close to winning they were and what's more important - they see that they are not alone. Add to that the fact that right leaning people are more prone to conducting strikes and riots and are ready to do more unlawful acts than left leaning people, same principle as when right leaning people are usually the first to take arms in conflicts. Hope it goes peacefully for us, but the concern is right, and it is a possible outcome.

It really doesn't apply to the current polish situation. If PiS losses they will definitely start sulking that something was rigged, but their demographic is too old to do trouble (unless nawrocki decides to call his old pal hooligans but then thats on him; /j).

You'd be surprised how many young people hate Trzaskowski enough to vote for Nawrocki. Saying that as a university student.

Sure - but they are usually not doing it out of love for Nawrocki but out of not liking Trzaskowski which doesn't spark as much fanatical hatred.

Well, then they won't strike for him, but against Trzaskowski, it's that simple. It's easier to find a reason to strike if you want and are ready to strike to begin with.

There really isn't that much (if any) militancy.

I was just explaining to another person what types of problems are possible according to another comment. I'm not here saying that it's gonna happen, jeez

How can you claim that right leaning people are more prone do riot? Where did that claim come from? Have you not seen the crazy shit leftists have been pulling when they are unhappy?

Right leaning people are and always were more active when it comes to politics (strikes and riots). Left wing strikes happen when the situation is more critical. So I'd say the entry level to do something for both groups is different.
