Source-derived summary

Poland Plus (Polish: Polska Plus) was a centre-right political party in Poland that existed briefly during 2010. It was formed on 9 January 2010 from deputies in the Sejm that crossed the floor from the Law and Justice party.

The party was dissolved on 24 September 2010, with five of its parliamentary representatives, including leader Jerzy Polaczek, returning to Law and Justice, while Jan Filip Libicki and Jacek Tomczak sat as independents. In November 2010, four of the former Poland Plus members – Libicki, Tomczak, Lucjan Karasiewicz, and Andrzej Walkowiak – joined Poland Comes First.

Editorial analysis

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
