Chances of early elections to the Sejm stand at 40% according to Civic Platform

Marcinkiewicz explained that he cannot imagine running a government which would just exist, as he is here to improve the state. The deputy leader of the Civic Platform (PO) Jan Rokita said yesterday that the chances for elections taking place in 2006 stand at 40%. Also yesterday, the deputy head of Law and Justice (PiS), Adam Lipiński, said that he puts the likelihood that local government and parliamentary elections will both take place in the fall of 2006 at 60%."If the Sejm blocks all PiS flagship projects, than early elections will be a necessity," said Lipiński. The head of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), Wojciech Olejniczak, is skeptical about the announcements of PiS, claiming that PiS by doing this would increase the public's lack of trust towards politicians.
