A voter might expect that the right-of-center party would lower taxes, especially on rich people.

At the same time, right-of-center parties that decided to group around Solidarity fared much better than they did four years ago.

A friend of mine recently ran for office on the ticket of a right-of-center political party.

Politically, he is a member of the right-of-center National Action Party since 1978.

Each time, however, the winners have come from the right-of-center National Action Party.

The right-of-center National Action Party won in four big middle- and working-class municipalities.

Since then, he has established a research center in Warsaw to help him mold center and right-of-center political parties into a viable opposition.

Legislators from the right-of-center National Action Party stood up and held disputed election ballots over their heads.

The right-of-center National Action Party said the council's idea for a nationwide primary seemed to resemble one the party had already rejected.

But that will not be easy in a country where the Social Christians, a pro-business, right-of-center party, hold the biggest share of seats in Congress.
