Miller to shake up, restructure and discipline SLD Deputies in January

Prime Minister Leszek Miller announced that in January he will try to improve internal relations in the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) Parliamentary Club. According to SLD Deputies, Miller is trying to secure the support of the club for the government's plans, as recently the relationship between the SLD and the Cabinet has been quite weak. He is also counting on a change in the leadership structure of the club. "I think that some issues have reached a point where certain decisions have to be made. I will present my point of view, propositions and terms which will be the basis for further cooperation between me and the club," said Miller in an interview yesterday. He also said that January will mark the end of the discussion on Hausner's plan, which was recently an issue questioning his future as Prime Minister. Miller also complained about several SLD Deputies who voted against the government, however, he did not want to say whether the leader of the club, Jerzy Jaskiernia, should resign.
