Dr Who?

After the Thursday’s announcement of the Prime Minister that he would not be a candidate in this year’s presidential elections, the question: who will be then? – has gained on popularity. Two of the prominent Civic Platform politicians seem to be the subject of the speculations: The Marshal of the Sejm – Mr. Bronislaw Komorowski and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Radoslaw Sikorski. Both are presentable and well established within polish political system and both, according to the recent polls, will have a big chance to beat the incumbent President Lech Kaczynski. These cheerful statistics should reduce the party’s problem to aesthetic choice, whether to have a candidate with moustache or without. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Some of the Platform politicians tend to favour an innovative idea of party’s primaries; others postulate prompt designation of the presidential candidate.
