Remember that "compromise" at the EU summit a week ago? The twins have thought about it again - and decided to change their mind. The compromise said that in 2014 the new votiung system should be phased in, and become binding for Poland as well in 2017. Now they want to have extra privileges beyond that date, distorting a precedence case that said that a minority veto could stop an issue until the next summit - the twins take that example and read it as blocking the issue for two years.

I said it was a very big mistake that when Merkel threatened to leave them out (finally, as a last measure and lots of concessions already made!), several countires fell in her back and said: no, no matter the cost, at all cost we must must make them go with us, no matter how high the price is. I said that this is encouraging bullying the EU in the future, and teaches a lesson of destructive politics being rewarded, and being a precedence for trying it again and again, and inviting othersa to do like that, too.

The twins have introduced a level of destructivism to EU politics that has been unknown before. According to them, Poland is the navel of the earth, it seems, and crushing Germany for no other purpose than crushing germany is a legitimate political goal.

No "compromises" this time, please. They either respect what they already got (and that is already much more than what they legitimately deserve), or they get kicked out, so to speak. Who needs such a destructive Poland anyway? This givernment obviously knows nothing baout how to responsibly act on the international political stage. The people better make sure that this will not continue after their next election. My impression is that the whole twin-desaster already started to backfire on Poland anyway - their reputation is in free fall, people have started to see them as a plague, and as an anonymous top diplomat at the EU put it during the summit: "At the EU everbody is sick and tired of them".
