It’s because the former German lands were resource rich and very well developed
leading to the west becoming way liberal and the core polish lands more conservative
As even the rural areas in the west are more liberal than in the south east

Poland B has invaded and settled large portions of Poland A, and Poland A has set up a few colonies in Poland B.

The east west divide is definitely there but it seems to be kinda shifting into a more Urban vs rural divide like what exists in most countries you can bits of red in cities in the east though it seems like it’s mostly contained to the city centres and the suburbs are still blue.

People here write that this is mainly because the lands in the west taken over after the war were more developed, but this is not entirely true. Lubuskie or Warmińsko-Mazurskie, in particular, is a fairly poor province without any major urban centres, yet they are pro-Western.
The main reason is different. The people in these areas were resettled from territories lost by Poland to the USSR and from central Poland. This separation meant that these people were less conservative, without roots in local tradition or religion, without dialects and without a strong sense of belonging to a community. Mass resettlement was a huge social experiment, the effects of which we are now seeing.

For people saying „west is more liberal because of German influence“, no, it’s actually the other way around, these territories were in ruins anyways, and the people that were relocated there are actually eastern Poles from modern day Ukraine/Belarus/Lithuania who tend to be more liberal…
Also it’s mostly a big cities vs rural areas divide anyways.
