Hi all Dzień dobry, państwo!,

Bit of a random one, but I was wondering if anyone here knows of any quieter, scenic Baltic coastal spots in Poland that are a bit under the radar.

I recently came across a place called Salcombe in Devon in the UK. It honestly looks like something out of California or southern Spain, proper sunny coastal resort vibes, boats, clear water, nice houses, yet most Brits have never even heard of it.

Got me thinking whether Poland has similar hidden gems along the Baltic coast. Not the obvious places like Gdańsk or Gdynia, but smaller towns or villages that are:

really scenic

a bit quieter

good for a relaxed summer holiday

Could be anywhere along the coast, even slightly inland if it has that coastal feel.

Would love to hear your suggestions.

Something like this but not too touristy or popular

Hi all,

I’m trying to get my head around who the Lib Dems are actually meant to represent and I feel like I’m missing something.

You often hear people say they’re “yellow Tories”, and while that might be a bit unfair, I sort of get where it comes from. To me they seem quite incremental, not wanting to rock the boat too much. Almost like the ideal party if you’re doing reasonably well, don’t want major change, but also don’t particularly like the Conservatives.

So in that sense, are they basically just a more polite, slightly more liberal version of the Tories?

If that’s even partly true, I can understand why they do well in leafy, middle class areas, especially in the South West. But then I don’t understand why they don’t dominate other similar places.

For example:

* Hertfordshire seems like prime territory

* Middle class areas in Derbyshire like Ashbourne or the Derbyshire Dales

* Parts of Kent such as Sevenoaks or Tonbridge

These all feel like places where that kind of moderate, comfortable, not-too-disruptive politics would appeal.

Instead, they seem quite geographically concentrated, doing well in parts of the South West and some wealthier bits of London, but not consistently across similar demographics elsewhere.

So what am I missing here? Is it history, local campaigning strength, electoral strategy, or something about the voters themselves?
