Ahead of June’s European elections, BBC’s Jonny Dymond visits several European states to ask votes about the EU and find out what their expectations are.
Today’s report comes from Poland, where Dymond speaks to people who’ve directly benefited from the EU expansion – either by expanding their existing businesses or by travelling abroad, acquiring news skills and transferring them back to their home country.
One of them, Dobrawa, who worked in London for the years before returning to Warsaw to set up her own hair salon, asked about what she thinks about the call for “British jobs for British workers” replies:
“British people, I’ve got nothing against them, but I do think that they don’t respect jobs. They are too fussy. They would love to be put on a high position and get good money for less hours and everything. In my country, everything that we have is made by hard work.”
Perhaps a bit harsh and simplistic, but even some British TV documentaries I’ve seen in recent months prove there’s a grain of truth in this claim.

<p>Cafe au Chain comes from a desire to connect people more closely with where their coffee is coming from. Starting with small, specialty coffee roasters and farms and co-ops in Latin America, we’re improving the traceability and connection that coffee brings - whether that means providing environmental sustainability information from the farms your coffee comes from, or the economic transparency that specialty roasters strive for in direct trade relationships.</p>

The ANZ-Roy Morgan Australian Consumer Confidence index is up 1.2 per cent from the previous week, with a 5.9 per cent surge in how respondents felt about the financial circumstances of themselves and their family compared with 12 months ago – a reading that lifts the current finances metric to its highest level since the poll began in 2008.
But the weekly measure of consumer mood, which is based on about 1,000 face-to-face interviews conducted on Saturdays and Sundays, also recorded a 3.0 per cent fall in people’s perceptions about their finances over the next 12 months.
The survey responses also indicated sentiment about the Australian economy as a whole, including the outlook for the next 12 months, fell 1.4 per cent and perceptions about conditions during the next five years edged up 0.2 per cent.
“Lower interest rates and taxes are undoubtedly helping” boost overall consumer sentiment, ANZ economist David Plank said.
The survey’s “time to buy a major household item” metric gained 4.0 per cent after three consecutive weeks of falls.Women eye seats in PNG parliament
IN A ‘DROUGHT’: Only seven women have ever won seats in the parliament, and none in 2017, an imbalance people are finally starting to recognize, a female candidate said
AFP, PORT MORESBY
Women are fighting to win at least one seat in Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) male-dominated parliament when voting opens tomorrow in a mountainous, forest-clad land scarred by gender-based violence.
Papua New Guinean Prime Minister James Marape is fending off a challenge from his predecessor Peter O’Neill to lead the resource-rich, but poverty-struck, Pacific Island for the next five years.
Whoever wins, the new leader will need to cobble together a coalition government, analysts say.

Women are hoping to have a voice in the 118-seat parliament.
“A lot of us really feel like we stand a great chance,” said Sylvia Pascoe, one of 142 women among the almost 3,500 candidates in this election. “Not just because the timing is right, but because we’ve spent our lives building up to this moment.”

Statistics on women’s experiences in the country are alarming: 63 percent have been subject to physical, sexual or emotional violence at the hands of their spouses, a national survey completed four years ago showed.
At least 70 percent of men and women agreed that a man would be justified in beating his wife in at least one of these circumstances: if she burnt food, argued, went out without telling her husband, refused sex or neglected her children.
Pascoe said that women were increasingly taking leadership roles in churches, sports and youth groups, and the “drought” in female representation in politics was sparking a change in sentiment ahead of the election.
“At the last elections, nobody was really out there rooting for women,” she said, but women are expressing a desire to vote for fellow women, and youth groups are singing songs in support of their runs for office.
“People only saw men being leaders. Then suddenly, there was a drought, and they said: ‘Something’s not right, there is no balance,’” Pascoe said.
There is now more public debate about women’s place in politics, with some young, determined female candidates running smart campaigns this year, Collins added.
However, elections in Papua New Guinea can be dangerous.
At the 2017 general election, more than 200 voting-related killings were documented by monitors from the Australian National University.
For female candidates hard-pressed to secure financing, the risks can be even greater, said Pascoe, who sometimes ventures into volatile areas without the large security teams her male rivals enjoy.
So far, she had not encountered significant security issues, but Pascoe said that she had heard stories of crowds throwing stones and bottles at candidates.
“People are desperate,” and when they do not hear what they want from candidates, they can get upset, Pascoe said.
They are to assist the thousands of Papua New Guinean police and troops around the country, with the heaviest deployments in the remote and frequently violent highlands provinces.
Further complicating the process, the electoral roll is not up to date, Australian National University Pacific analyst Harry Ivarature said. “So the whole integrity of this election is already under question.”
Voting is scheduled to take place over 18 days, with the outcome not expected to be clear until next month.
In an ethnically diverse country with more than 800 languages, there are few national issues to galvanize voters, and the overriding focus remains on what material benefits candidates can bring to local communities.
Women are hopeful that their voices can break through.10/14/2017: A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden truck outside the Safari Hotel at the K5 intersection in Hodan neighborhood, Mogadishu, Somalia.
