Prediction: The Polish elections next month will get a huge wave of coverage from sections of the media/commentariat who have had v little to say about Austrian or Greek elections and will say little about Portugal next week. Partisan bias in action!
Its v well established that partisans ignore or explain away information which conflicts with the worldview they are attached to, while focusing on and talking about information which validates it.
Hence, partisans of "UnstoppableRiseOfPopulism" party - and there are many in both media & politics - will focus on Poland which is likely to provide a clean piece of evidence in favour of their beliefs, while ignoring clump of recent elections which are messier/at odds with them
