As a general election draws near, the right argue about who gets what

Until recently, the two parties assumed that the party which wins the biggest share of the vote in the elections will appoint a Prime Minister who will form his government. However, PiS, which will likely be the junior partner in the coalition, appears to be changing its mind now and demands that the make-up of the government reflect the number of seats both parties will have in Parliament. "It is hard to imagine a situation of PiS playing a marginal role in any Cabinet and we are talking to PO about this'" siad a PiS deputy." PO seems to be willing to allow PiS leader Lech Kaczyński to run for president, in return for a vast majority of government positions going to PO, but PiS is not enthralled with this idea. "I can assure you that I am much more interested in the position of Defense or Justice Minister for my brother [than in running for the presidency]" said Lech Kaczyński. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 4) T.J.
