| Description | While Germany is still mired in coalition talks heading in an uncertain direction, Poland at least has given the European Union a clear message.
The biggest winner, the Law and Justice party (PiS) is lead by two portly identical twins - Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski - nicknamed "the ducks".
But their appearance on the European stage is more likely to be a confident march than a waddle.
They are aghast that surveys show many Poles see themselves as citizens of "a small nation" when it is geographically large, and so in terms of EU votes, powerful.
Their leader has said it is time for other countries to stop "yelling" at Poland. French President Jacques Chirac may be wondering "Do they mean me?" |
