LPR lobbies for Sejm to shut up shop, saying 'there's nothing left to do'

The Polish Families League (LPR) wants the Sejm to dissolve itself and plans to submit a motion calling for the drastic action at the beginning of next week. "The health care bill has been passed and the budget will be presented at the end of September. We believe that this Sejm can finish its mission," stated LPR leader Roman Giertych. In April this year the Sejm has already voted on such a motion but then the deputies from the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), the Labor Union (UP) and the Federated Parliamentary Club (FKP) claimed that the Sejm cannot dissolve itself until it passes a health care bill. This time the motion is likely to be supported by the opposition. However, the Polish Social Democracy (SDPL) leader Tomasz Nałęcz declared that his party will not be dictated to by the LPR. And Zbgniew Siemiątkowski from the SLD ironically stated that his party will support the motion in spring next year - that is when the Marek Belka government has completed its mission.
