Pair of popular Polish pols who appeal to the proles at the polls

I have another no-byline 'Worldbeater' (this section never has bylines; my first was about Michael Ignatieff) in the New Internationalist this month (the April issue), about Poland's leading men, Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski:

They're anti-gay and pro-Iraq War, fervent Catholics and free-market skeptics, they want to bring back the death penalty and ban abortion even for rape victims. They're the President and Prime Minister of Poland. And they're identical twins. Really.


The story won't be online for a while, so you'll have to pick the issue up on newsstands if you want to know more (without trolling the internet for hours and undermining print journalism). Also, the issue itself, with many stories about cotton, is excellent.

Here's a couple pre-power pics, child and adult.
