 Polish prime minister nominee insists he's in for long haul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Political pundits have said the logical choice for prime minister would have been Kaczynski, and analysts have interpreted the appointment of Marcinkiewicz as a stop-gap measure by the PiS leader, who wants to avoid jeopardising the chances of his twin brother Lech in next month's presidential election.
Opinion polls have consistently shown Lech Kaczynski to be trailing his rival for the presidency, PO leader Donald Tusk, but a poll conducted Monday, as it was becoming clear PiS would come out in front in the general election, the conservative candidate was narrowing the gap.
If PiS were to replace Marcinkiewicz with Kaczynski in the short term, "Poles would be left with the feeling they are being manipulated at the very start of the new conservative government's tenure," said Mocek.

As leader of the biggest party, with 27% of the vote, Jaroslaw Kaczynski should be stepping forward as the next prime minister, to lead an inevitable coalition with the Platform (24.2%).

The PiS is denying that the proposal of an alternative prime minister is an attempt to boost support for PiS' presidential candidate Lech Kaczynski, after initial polls showed he was closing the gap on the race leader.
The PiS said it consulted with the PO on the prime ministerial candidate, with leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski pointing to Marcinkiewicz as the man most likely to effect the speedy formation of government.

An outspoken Walesa supporter determined to end the political dominance of the intellectual elite in the Citizens' Parliamentary Club, Jaroslaw Kaczynski formed the Center Alliance in May 1990.
With the election of its candidate for president, Walesa, and the appointment of Kaczynski as the president's chief of staff, the Center Alliance became one of the most influential political organizations in the country.
By mid-1992, however, the influence of the party had waned because of a bitter personal rift between Kaczynski and Walesa, the demise of the Olszewski government, and the party's decision not to participate in the ruling coalition of Hanna Suchocka.
