If Poland rejects the treaty, are early elections possible?

The heated debate over Poland's hesitation to ratify the Lisbon Treaty continues. The tension has risen, as the ruling Civic Platform started talking about early elections if Poland should decide not to ratify the treaty.

Piotr Zaremba of the 'Dziennik' daily says parties are just testing each other's nerve. In his opinion, early elections would be favorable to the current government of Donald Tusk, whereas the battle over the treaty might confuse the voters of the Law and Justice.

Janusz Rolicki of the tabloid 'Fakt' says that leader of the opposition Law and Justice party, and formerly the Prime Minister of Poland Jaroslaw Kaczynski, has gone too far in his opposition to the treaty and will probably back off. In case of early elections, this commentator too predicts a stunning victory of the Civic Platform.

Stanisław Janecki of the weekly 'WPROST' is of the opinion that the Lisbon summit was the former government's failure, which they tried to make look like a success. Now they are trying to make up for it. In this commentator's opinion, another early elections after last year's might discourage the voters to the extent that the ruling Civic Platform, although supported by many today, might suffer a spectacular failure. At the moment, the true support for the government does not exceed 35%, says Janecki, and a heated election campaign might make some supporters change their political preferences.

Piotr Semka of the 'Rzeczpospolita' daily says that Prime Minister Donald Tusk is using the circumstances to provoke the major opposition Law and Justice party to look like radical Euro-sceptics and the threat of early election is supposed just to scare the public opinion. The ruling Civic Platform also wants to look even more pro-European, adds Semka.

Polish Member of the European Parliament and history professor Wojciech Roszkowski warns that the fight over the Lisbon Treaty may damage the image of Poland in the European Union. In his opinion, two largest political powers are to blame for the chaos.

The opposition Law and Justice party, formerly in the government, is pressured from two sides. One is the current Civic Platform party government, which insists on ratifying the whole treaty, including the controversial Charter of Fundamental Rights. On the other hand, a large part of the Law and Justice party supporters would like to reject the whole Treaty. In this situation, what the professor calls the Lisbon compromise is difficult to be implemented. At the same time, the ruling Civic Platform party should not be increasing the political tensions around the already hot debate, by talking about pre-term elections, should the treaty be rejected, adds the professor.

Polish yacht free to leave the port of Haifa

The vessel, detained last Friday collided with an Israeli boat. Two Israeli fishermen were injured in the accident.

Pogoria was detained after one of the anglers filed a complaint. The Israeli court ruled that the blame lay on the Israeli boat since it failed to turn on warning lights. The Polish vessel will leave to Athens and then home for Easter. There are some 51 crewmembers on Pogoria, 38 of them are teenagers from a private Warsaw secondary school. They were taking part in yachting courses organised by the school.

Poland news- Anti war protest march through Warsaw

The march was staged against the instalment of US anti missile shields in Poland and the participation of Polish troops in the Iraq and Afghanistan missions.

The protesters marched through the city centre, carrying banners with slogans ‘We do not want to be a traget’ or ‘Stop the occupation of Iraq’.

Soft Drink, Hard Facts -Guinness World Record !!!

On this day in 1894, Coca-Cola was sold in its iconic glass bottles for the first time. As well as being the Most popular soft drink (in terms of number of drinks sold), here are some other records that have ‘Coke’ at their heart:

Largest line dance
The largest line dance involved 17,000 participants who performed the Cupid Shuffle for 8 minutes at the Ebony Black Family Reunion Tour organised by the Coca Cola Company in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, on 25 August 2007.

Largest soda float
The record for the world's largest soda float was one of 13,638 litres (3,000 gal) made by Coca-Cola at the World of Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, on 25 May 2007.

Largest spray painted picture
The largest spray painted picture measured 760.28 m² (8183.58 ft²) and was made for Coca-Cola Ýcecek by 580 students from nine universities around Turkey. It was completed at Hezarfen Airport, Istanbul, Turkey on 16 August 2004.

Most times for a product to be ‘placed’ on television
The most "placed" product on TV in 2007 was Coca-Cola, according to Nielsen, with 3,054 placements in the first six months alone. PQ Media, a media research firm in Stamford, Connecticut, USA, estimated that US advertisers spend just short of $1 billion (£500 million) a year on "product integration" on TV.

Largest global brand
According to a study released by AC Nielsen, the largest global brand in the world based on sales is Coca-Cola which in 2002 had sales of over $19 billion (£13 billion). The brand is present in 30 countries which account for 90% of the world's gross domestic product and cover all core geographic regions.

Hakerzy Gornika blokuja strony Dody??

Zawsze tak jest - kiedy już myślimy, że największe głupoty są za nami, pojawia się coś takiego. Na oficjalnym forum Dody (obecnie zablokowanym "przez hakerów") wrze od spekulacji. Niedawne ataki na oficjalną stronę Dody to dzieło fanatyków... Edyty Górniak. Tak twierdzi przynajmniej Maja Sablewska. Jestem po rozmowie z Mają - pisze administrator forum Dody. Najprawdopodobniej wiemy co się stało - zarówno Strona Oficjalna, Antidotum jak i forum zostało zaatakowane przez hakerów, których nasłali fanatycy edzi górniak :/ Maja powiedziała mi, że otrzymywała sms-y z pogróżkami od takich osób mniej - więcej w podobnym stylu, że "wyjebią nam w kosmos stronę". Ze względów bezpieczeństwa proponowałbym nie wchodzić przez najbliższy czas na oficjalną stronę, gdyż może zawierać trojany. Mam nadzieję, że sprawcy tych ataków dostaną taki przejeb, że raz na zawsze odechce im się odpie**alać przestępstwa informatyczne w imieniu fanatyzmu ich nawiedzonej gwiazdy. Od czasu słynnej wizyty u wróżki, konflikt Doroty i Edyty wyraźnie przybiera na sile. Czym to się skończy? Czy sama Górniak maczała w tym palce? Wyobrażacie sobie w ogóle jej fanów-hakerów?
