Interesting times in Poland...

What's Marcinkiewicz doing? Back when he was sacked there were rumours he might try to form a new party ... sort of a moderate PiS from the sound of it...

There'll be a vote in parliament on the 10th. The opposition needs a two-thirds vote to dissolve the house, so that'd need PiS defectors (or a deal with the PiS leadership), but if this fails, they'll try to remove the PM by a vote of no confidence right after, which will probably succeed.

Good. Can't think of many more governments in the EU I'd like to see toppled than this one.

Of course none of the opposition parties are too great either. I don't even like the ex-commies, but they're probably the best of the lot (unless that splinter is still around), and I can understand why an alliance with Civic Platform would be necessary for now, especially when you consider the utterly terrifying parties PiS is in coalition with.

Was. Lepper quit.
