What about a marriage between Luka and Erika??! They would give such an nice pair! I think our friends from Belarus would find it great to have Mr. and Mrs. Lukashenko ruling a center for the expelled in Minsk (ERIKAS MONSTERSHOW!) togehter, instead of Luka ruling their country alone.

Well, in about two years Schroeder will have to leave the scene and we can fix the economic damage he accused* then. We can keep him to send him into a elderlys home.

What do you think about the contemporary Polish politicians? I think they aren't any better than Schroeder. Do you believe in a major political change in your country? What is with your splinter-partys? They give quite a strange picture of the political situation in Poland abroad.

* BTW - I found that Schroeder said the right words in Poland recently.

Why not, it would be great for them till Belarusian society wake up and expel them to Siberia.

Well, like most Poles I don’t like politicians and their parties. Our politicians are more or less populists, like in every country I think. I believe that with time, everything will be better and politicians as well. Because polish society is very critical for them, they must try work harder if they want to stay in the political scene. Parties try to check history of their new members, to eliminate corruption and economic criminals. Their leaders know that in other way polish mass-media may destroy imagine of the party. I must say that not all moves of our politicians may be good for all others nations, it is not their job to make everyone happier. But it isn’t mean that they shouldn’t search for compromises, but not for all costs. Rest of EU cannot expect that Poland will seat quiet and listen Chirac, Poland should be a creative member with own opinion which don’t must be the same like opinion of Germany or France.

What is with your splinter-partys? They give quite a strange picture of the political situation in Poland abroad.

Yes situation is strange, like never before, many parties with little support. I suppose that before the election we will see coalition on the left side. Populists will have some votes but it is too less to take the power, beside of that other parties don’t want any coalitions with them This whole situation is the effect that society searching something new, cause they didn’t liked the left side government and the right as well. Politicians creating new parties, because they try to make impression that it is something NEW.

* BTW - I found that Schroeder said the right words in Poland recently.

Yes he did good job.

"They give quite a strange picture of the political situation in Poland abroad."

Political situation in Poland is indeed a little strange. For example we have conservatives, who like socialism in economy or we have leftists, who prefer free market economy and their "leftism" is that some of them are former communists (members of "Polish" Communist party before 89, mostly not real commies) and they don't love the church.

I'm curious the picture of our political situation abroad.
I read somewhere in foreign sources about "European Talibs" :-)
