Jan Rokita has also pointed out one further problem with a centre alliance; it would contravene the Constitution, which states that only political parties and not alliances can stand for election.

It is unsurprising, therefore, that Jan Rokita, leader of the centre-right Civil Platform party looks set to take the premier position in the forthcoming prime ministerial elections.
Rokita is one of the very few Polish politicians to have come out of the last year or two with a reputation completely untarnished - as a strong orator and a principled leader with an eye to the future, it looks likely that he will soak up the votes of much of the disaffected electorate.
