Ruling party agrees to push for early elections

? Poland’s governing party is pushing for early elections after the prime minister said he could no longer work with his two coalition partners.

Poland has been bogged down for weeks because of infighting between Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s ruling Law and Justice party and the two junior parties in the nationalist government.

“I see no possibility of supporting a minority government, and we don’t want to have the kind of government we have had recently,” Kaczynski said at a news conference Saturday.

“Let the elections be a plebiscite in which people will say what kind of Poland they want,” he said, citing Oct. 21 as a possible date for the vote.

Early elections can be triggered by a vote of self-dissolution in parliament or by the president’s decision to dissolve parliament. The next regular elections are due in 2009.
