A majority of people wrote critically not only about the project itself but also about the whole electoral system of the Polish People’s Republic. After a comparison of these opinions with other letters known from the period of building of a communist system in Poland, the author puts forward a thesis that in the successive decades of the rule of the Polish Workers’ Party/Polish United Workers’ Party, even if they had voted in universal elections, the Polish people were aware of their window-dressing nature.}, title={Społeczna percepcja wyborów w PRL w świetle listów nadesłanych do władz podczas konsultacji projektu nowej ordynacji wyborczej do Sejmu w 1985 roku}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl./Content/72059/PDF/WA303_93715_A507-DN-R-50-4_Siedziako.pdf}, volume={50}, number={4}, journal={Dzieje Najnowsze : [kwartalnik poświęcony historii XX wieku]}, publisher={Instytut Historii Polskiej Akademii Nauk}, keywords={elections - Poland - 1945-1990 - public opinion, public consultations - Poland - 1970-2000, electoral Law - Poland - 1970-2000, electoral system - Poland - 1970-2000, Poland - politics and governments - 1945-1990}, }
