Summary/Abstract: This article aims to explain how the Konfederacja uses protest party rhetoric to maximize its electoral outcome. The article analyses the content of 30 videos published as a part of the Bosak&Mentzen format on YouTube for the presence of the protest party characteristics in the messages. It also tried to find similarities between the Konfederacja and other protest parties in Sweden, Germany and France. The research conducted allows us to conclude that the Konfederacja uses protest party rhetoric to position itself as an alternative to Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) and Platforma Obywatelska (PO), and to publicize specific social issues that allow it to gain support in society.
