What does Paweł Kukiz’s election success mean for Polish politics?

Poland held the first round of its presidential election on 10 May. As Aleks Szczerbiak writes, one of the key stories from the vote was the success of Paweł Kukiz, a former rock singer and political novice who finished a surprising third with more than a fifth of the vote. He notes that while the odds are that this will generate another short-lived protest movement, the support for Kukiz tapped into deeper underlying concerns about the functioning of the Polish political system.
