***POLAND throws out far-right, pro-Bush, pro-Iraq war, anti-gay government***

WARSAW, Poland - A pro-business opposition party that wants Poland's troops out of Iraq ousted Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski's government in parliamentary elections Sunday, as Poles opted for leadership offering a more cooperative approach to the European Union.

Donald Tusk's Civic Platform party led with 41.2 percent of the vote after nearly three-fourths of the ballots were counted early Monday, which would give the party 205 seats in the 460-seat Sejm lower house.

That would be short of the 231 needed for a majority — but close enough for it to join with a smaller party to form a government.

"Today I am the happiest person in the world," a teary-eyed Tusk told supporters. "People in Poland voted today to chose their own fate and have put a great responsibility, a great task on our shoulders. We undertake this great responsibility."

Sounds like one less country in the "Coalition of the Willing" in the future.

John Howard is going down.

I can't stand that man

That Jaroslaw Kaczynski is the identical twin of the Polish President, and those two fellows together looks seriously creepy and freaky!

Just TOO weird!













:scared:

it's like some dystopia, where the evil leader gets cloned!

It's this very surreal TV show, it's incredibly good.

Anyhow, if you have seen the show, you might probably agree, that the Polish President and his identical twin, the now former Polish Prime Minister, look exactly like they belong in "The League of Gentlemen"

Totally BIZARRO!

:applause: may bush AND the pope find they have one less BFF.

Nice to see more rw homophobes getting their just rewards. :)

Yes. Very good news.

A good example to their east neighbors Ukraine with installed USchenko government.
Parading ukrainian nazis are again fashionable in Ukraine. I wouldn't believe it unless I saw that with my own eyes.

Some of us knew what was happening in Ukraine.

Don

I had no idea. Can you give me something on that??

Either that Yushenko is US installed or that nazism is popular in the country?

If not, I suggest you STFU.

The new government's not exactly leftist, but at least it's not loony-right! Those Kaczynski brothers were loathesome in the extreme.

This is a victory for human rights supporters everywhere...and gay and lesbian folks in Poland!

would be more like replacing the BNP (if God forbid, they had ever formed a government!) with the Tories. Replacing extreme evil with normal evil! An considerable improvement under the circumstances.
