No seriously. In the second phase of the Polish presidential elections, the first candidate has the first name "Donald", while the second candidate has surname which can be translated as "Ducky".

Elections tomorrow.

LOL! :D

Looks like 'Duck' has taken the lead. Perhaps because we associate 'Donald' with Donald Trump? :D

Donald is 10 times better than Duck. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You have to vote for the Donald, if he sees you voting against him, he will buy you, your home, your family, your dog, your precious collection of RPGs, your soul...

From official results it appears Lech Kaczynski won over Donald Tusk, unlike what the pre-election polls and first phase results predicted.

He wouldn't happen to be an old school communist would he ?

No... neither of the two. The post-communists lost badly this time.

Kaczynski is a conservative, if I'm not mistaken, and Tusk is some form of liberal.

yes to some extent. But "conservative" and "liberal" here do NOT mean what they mean in USA.
Kaczynski's econamical views are VERY socialist. He's only conservative in moral values. Tusk opts for more economical freedom.

That said the president doesnt have really much power in Poland. Kaczynski's party won the parliamentary elections few weeks ago and will probably be forming a coalition with Tusk's party.

Well, Swedish media referred to him as "conservative" but perhaps they just meant his moral values. Or maybe he's an old-time conservative, not a "minimal state" one as many American conservatives are.
