Identical twins leaders preside over political circus that has Poles laughing — and cringing -by Monika Scislowska
What do you get when two pudgy identical twins who gained fame as impish child actors become president and prime minister of Poland? A foolproof recipe for political vaudeville. Ever since Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski won elections in 2005, Poland's political scene has become so loony that some observers are hailing a golden age of political entertainment.
There are serious consequences to all of the wackiness: The ruling coalition collapsed this week due to increasingly bizarre internal rows, opening the way for general elections as early as October.
