Miller moves towards rebuilding Parliamentary majority with PLD

The minority government has signed a parliamentary partnership with the Rural Democratic Party (PLD) led by a former Agriculture Minister, Roman Jagielinski, which could lead to a full government coalition. "This is a parliamentary coalition, but we do not rule out...creating a government coalition," said Jerzy Jaskiernia, the leader of SLD's parliamentary caucus. The agreement has added PLD's six votes in parliament to the 213 commanded by the SLD, leaving the government just 12 votes short of a 231 majority. Without a majority, the government cannot be certain of passing much-needed fiscal reforms, possibly involving painful spending cuts, which are to prepare the budget for EU accession. Some analysts say the Prime Minister could resign after June's EU entry referendum, if his reform program fails in parliament. (Reuters) A.Z.
