The results as listed on [1] had an error which I corrected. The PSL Piast results were missing, while the Ethnic Minority Party results (BMN) were listed twice - once under the BMN name and one just as 'ethnic minorities' (MN). As there was no 'just MN' party, it is rather safe to assume that the MN results are in fact PSL Piast results. All numbers, added together, add to 444 and 111 further confirming this. I will nonetheless try to look for other sources. Treat the numbers as 'accurate' withing a few % to be on the safe side...PS. This article gives 130 and 46 instead of 125 and 48 for the seats gained. In the future we could use better references for numbers, but the big picture should be correct.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Other notes: there was never a party called Chrzescijańska Demokracja; there was a plethora of christian democracy parties in SPR. Pl wiki has currently articles about 3 (pl:Chadecja) but there are quite a few red links to various spleats and mergers. The fact that most text seem to merrily ignore that and refer to the dominant party/faction as Chrzescijańska Demokracja/chadecja/ChD is rather annoying. As far as I can tell, in 1928 the dominant Chadecja party was most likely the pl:Polskie Stronnictwo Chrześcijańskiej Demokracji which previously was part of the larger chadecja block of pl:Chrześcijański Związek Jedności Narodowej but that block does not seem to appear after 1926 May coup.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea what Związek Robotników i Chłopów really was - no google hits other than the source. A wild guess - maybe that was the communist party (KPP); Times notes the communists got several seats in Sejm but no in parliament...-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 23:26, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
