The League of Polish Families (Polish: ''Liga Polskich Rodzin'', LPR) is a nationalist conservative political party in Poland, part of the Catholic-National Movement and with many elements of far-right ideology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Euroscepticism and European Integration )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Encyclopedia of Modern Christian Politics: L-Z )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Racist Extremism in Central and Eastern Europe )〕〔() (“extreme right”)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Consolidating Legal Reform in Central and Eastern Europe )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Political Economy of State-Society Relations in Hungary and Poland )〕 The party's original ideology was that of the national democracy movement which was headed by Roman Dmowski, however in 2006 its leader Roman Giertych distanced himself from that heritage.〔http://serwisy.gazeta.pl/wyborcza/1,34591,3484547.html|tytuł=Dmowskiego do Ligi bym nie przyjął|opublikowany=gazeta.pl〕 It was represented in the Polish parliament, forming part of the cabinet of Jarosław Kaczyński, until the latter dissolved in September 2007.〔(Centre-Right Parties Almost Tied in Poland: Angus Reid Global Monitor )〕 In the 2007 Parliamentary election it failed to gain the 5% of votes required to enter the Sejm and lost all the seats it previously held, in addition to failing meeting the 3% of votes requirement for eligibility to receive government funding. Since then the party has become a minor political force but continues to exist. The All-Polish Youth used to be affiliated with the party as its youth wing. == History == The LPR was created just before the elections in 2001 and gained 8% of the vote, giving it 38 out of 460 seats in the Sejm and 2 seats in the Senate. Its former leader, Roman Giertych, studied Law and History at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. During his career his political alliances have included such Polish National Democrats as Jan Łopuszański, Antoni Macierewicz,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Neighbors Respond )〕 Gabriel Janowski.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Not Quite a Revolution )〕 Roman Giertych reactivated the "All-Polish Youth" (''Młodzież Wszechpolska'') organization in 1989, becoming its chairman; he remains honorary chairman. For several years he was a member of the National-Democratic Party (''Stronnictwo Narodowo-Demokratyczne'') and the National Party (''Stronnictwo Narodowe''), which merged with several other organizations to form the League of Polish Families (''Liga Polskich Rodzin'', LPR) in 2001. Roman Giertych's father, Maciej Giertych, also a member of LPR, is a former member of the European Parliament. His grandfather was a member of parliament of the Second Polish Republic prior to World War II from the National Democracy Party. Some sources claim that the LPR owes much of its success to Radio Maryja, a Catholic radio station with a nationalist, ultra-conservative agenda. The performance of League of Polish Families in the September 2001 elections, has been partly attributed to its well publicized and uncompromising attitude towards Jedwabne pogrom During the election campaign Ryszard Bender, one of the LPR founders and leaders, participated in LPR television broadcasts denying the facts of the Jedwabne pogrom of 1941 and accusing President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, who participated in commemoration ceremony, that took place in the village of Jedwabne in July 2001, of bowing to Jewish interest groups. Soon after the election in 2001 a group of deputies separated from LPR, creating a new party known now as Polish Agreement led by Jan Łopuszański and Catholic-National Movement (Ruch Katolicko-Narodowy) led by Antoni Macierewicz. In the 2004 elections to the European Parliament LPR received 15,2% votes, which gave it 10 out of 54 seats reserved for Poland in the European Parliament. This made the LPR the second largest party in Poland in that election, second only to the liberal conservative Civic Platform (PO), and well ahead of the then ruling post-communist Democratic Left Alliance, the populist Samoobrona and the conservative Law and Justice (PiS). However, overall turnout of that election was less than 20% of eligible voters. Thus, the long-term significance of the LPR's strong performance in that election is unclear. In the 2005 elections LPR again received 8% of votes, but saw its seats reduced from 38 to 34. However, it gained five seats in the Senate, taking it up to 7. In the 2007 Parliamentary election it failed to gain the 5% of votes required to enter the Sejm and lost all its seats, in addition to failing meeting the 3% of votes requirement for eligibility to receive government funding. The leader of the party, Roman Giertych, has stepped down from his post as the party's leader, but remains a member. Some present or former members of LPR (including Janusz Dobrosz) and five of its MEPs moved to ''Forward Poland'' in 2008/9. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「League of Polish Families」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
