The Piotr Liroy-Marzec's Effective (Polish : Skuteczni Piotra Liroya-Marca), shortened to Effective (Polish : Skuteczni) is a Polish political group founded by Piotr Liroy-Marzec in 2017. Until 2019, Skuteczni only functioned as an association, registered in 2019 as a political party.
The Effective Association was founded in February 2017 by Piotr Liroy-Marzec, [1] then MP of the Kukiz'15 club (after he left the association associated with the movement). In June of the same year, the MP was expelled from the club. [2] During the 2018 local elections, Skuteczni co-founded with the KORWiN party "KWW Wolność w Samorządzie", on behalf of which Piotr Liroy-Marzec ran for the president of Kielce, obtaining a result of 16% of votes and taking 3rd place in the elections. [3] The vice-president of Skuteczni, Grzegorz Gajewski (Association Świętokrzyski Region, starting from KW) was elected the mayor of Opatów. [4] [5] On 22 November 2018 Piotr Liroy-Marzec, together with MPs Jacek Wilk and Jakub Kulesza (elected from the Kukiz '15 lists, representing KORWiN), co-founded the parliamentary group Wolność i Skuteczni (of which he became the chairman). [6] In January, Skuteczni joined the election agreement for the 2019 European Parliament election, created by KORWiN, the National Movement and smaller circles. In February, it was named Confederation KORWiN Braun Liroy Narodowcy. In March 2019, the parliamentary group Wolność i Skuteczni was transformed into the Confederation parliamentary group (whose chairman was Jacek Wilk). [7] In the elections to the European Parliament, Piotr Liroy-Marzec opened the Confederation's electoral list in the Greater Poland region, [8] but the committee did not win seats.
On 15 April 2019 the party Skuteczni was registered. [9] In June, together with the Federation for the Republic of Poland led by MP Marek Jakubiak, Skuteczni announced that they would leave the Confederation and establish a joint party, Federation Jakubiak-Liroy, [10] which ultimately did not take place. On 9 August Piotr Liroy-Marzec, together with Jerzy Jachnik and Janusz Sanocki, co-founded the parliamentary group Restore Law. [11] Skuteczni took part in the 2019 parliamentary election on their own. The start of their lists was announced, among others, by hitherto activists of Kukiz'15, KORWiN and Congress of the New Right, as well as the Party of Drivers [12] (which eventually re-associated with the Confederation). The successful ones registered letters to the Sejm in five constituencies: Radom, Rzeszów, Białystok, Kielce and Olsztyn. Among the candidates there were, among others party leader Piotr Liroy-Marzec (leader of the Kielce list), Paweł Abramski (leader of the Olsztyn list, former KLD MP and AWS senator), Andrzej Szlęzak (leader of the Rzeszów list, voivodeship councilor of the Civic Coalition belonging to PSL, former president of Stalowa Wola), Paweł Połanecki (in the Kielce district, one of the leaders of the Unity of the Nation), or several Free and Solidary activists. KW Skuteczni won about 19 thousand in the elections to the Sejm. votes, which translated into 0.1% of the votes nationwide. [13]

Parliamentary elections were held in Poland on 13 October 2019. All 460 members of the Sejm and 100 senators of the Senate were elected. The ruling right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) won re-election to a second term retaining its majority in the Sejm. However, it lost its majority in the Senate to the opposition. With 43.6% of the popular vote, Law and Justice received the highest vote share by any party since Poland returned to democracy in 1989. The turnout was the highest for a parliamentary election since the first free elections after the fall of communism in 1989. For the first time after 1989, the ruling party controlled one house, while the opposition controlled the other.
Paweł Jan Tanajno is a Polish entrepreneur and politician.
Bezpartyjni Samorządowcy is a Polish political movement. Operating mainly at a regional level in a decentralised manner, it participates in elections as a national committee joining the individual regional counterparts. The organisation initially started out in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship before expanding to the rest of the country. The party is a heavily decentralised and federated organisation that fields candidates for local governments, often creating and cooperating with local committees and regional organisations. The BS lacks a central leadership and regional structures. The parties rule themselves separately and autonomously. Bezpartyjni Samorządowcy frequently acts as a minor partner of regional governing coalitions, such as in the voivodeships of Lubuskie and Lower Silesia.
Tomasz Janusz Jaskóła is a Polish politician and teacher. Member of the Sejm (2015-2019).

It won 11 seats in the Sejm after the 2019 Polish parliamentary election. Its candidate for the 2020 Polish presidential election was Krzysztof Bosak, who placed fourth among eleven candidates.
