Political parties begin to unite against minority government

The political crisis, after the ruling coalition broke down, seems to be gaining pace. Law and Justice (PiS) has submitted a resolution calling Prime Minister Leszek Miller to resign. The Civic Platform (PO) and Self-Defense already announced they support the move. The Polish Peasants Party (PSL) and the Polish Family League (LPR) have not excluded that they might follow suit. All these parties have agreed that the Premier has lost ability to rule the country, and that his resignation is the only way to avoid, "Deepening of the crisis of the state," said Maciej Plazynski (PO). Civic Platform politicians supposedly have already consulted President Kwasniewski, on the possibilities of forming a new - national - government, and even proposed Jerzy Kozminski (former ambassador to Washington) as the new PM.
