Poland's eurosceptic PiS party wins parliamentary majority


    WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's eurosceptic opposition conservatives, the Law and Justice party (PiS), won enough seats in Sunday's parliamentary election to be able to govern alone, final results showed on Tuesday.

    PiS secured 37.6 percent of the vote or 235 seats, the country's election body said, with the ruling Civic Platform (PO) coming in second with 24.1 percent or 138 seats.

    The result gives PiS an absolute majority in the parliament, marking the biggest victory by a single party since Poland shed communism in 1989.
