Poland is just a young democracy, so they haven't learned how to use it properly yet. Once it sinks in that universal suffrage includes a lot of gullible people. Then you realize that with good propaganda the percentage of the population that are gullible to your influence rises to the point and manipulating them is the optimal way to rule. Sure you occasionally get other people pulling one over on them in a way you don't like, but that just means it's time to up your propaganda game.
