Interesting times in Poland...

[Bono]

Prime Minister Kaczynski has fired Lepper, meaning that the coalition is over. Unless Kaczynski can cobble together a new coalition in the next few days, fresh elections this autumn seem likely.

Hopefully Civic Platform takes the lead they seem like as sensible a lot as Poland can put out.

my opinion of them just lowered a bit when I saw that they consider making an alliance with the ex-communists, but I still support them.

If they come first in the balloting, I believe it is indeed most likely the Civic Platform will go into alliance w/ the left. Other than the Civic Platform, the "ex-communists" are pretty much the most modern and pro-Western faction there.  I guess, after more than 15 years of democracy, certain reallignments are overdue: Poland's main divide these days is not "left vs. right" but "catholic nationalist vs. modern secular".

Who cares about moderinty and pro-westernism. THis makes me almost wish the ruling party wins again. I highly doubt the communists would let them adopt the flat tax they propose.

Seeing as one of the main reasons why they managed to lose to PiS last time was their flat tax proposals...

That's just an extreme example. There are many other platform planks they would never be able to implement. I'd prefer a PiS-PO grand coalition.
