Boy. If you think we have troubles look at this nightmare.


Polish President's twin joins him in a power double act

In a move likely to outrage liberals, the brothers with plans for 'moral revolution' share the helm

Nine months after calling the idea unacceptable, Poland's ruling party yesterday made the identical Kaczynski twins the most powerful men in the country, naming Jaroslaw as Prime Minister to serve alongside the President, Lech, his junior by 45 minutes.
The move is likely to send shivers through liberals, who have decried the Kaczynskis' plans for a 'moral revolution' in Poland, along with their coalition with nationalists who deride homosexuals and populists who are hostile to the European Union.

'We decided to take the risk and have a Prime Minister and President who are brothers,' said Jaroslaw, who will now be asked by his brother to form a new cabinet.

The Law and Justice party nominated Jaroslaw after accepting the resignation of the incumbent Prime Minister, Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, who upset the twins recently by showing unexpected signs of political independence. He was seen as the Kaczynskis' puppet when they appointed him last autumn, after Lech became President and Jaroslaw stepped into the shadows as party boss, saying that Poland and the world would not accept identical twins as the country's top leaders.

To be shocked now is a bit much.

What the hell is going on there anyway?

The outcome's not always what we'd like.
