Sasin:

PiS, with its dominant, crushing support within the United Right, cannot continually yield to the expectations and demands of coalition partners.

I have some doubts about that, but perhaps I wouldn't phrase it as 'knowing their place' [that coalition partners don't know their place], but rather that perhaps they don't quite perceive certain proportions within the United Right. There is PiS, which is undoubtedly the dominant force. There would be no MPs from Solidary Poland and Agreement if they hadn't run on PiS lists. We form a common parliamentary club, and it cannot be that this parliamentary club is being undermined from within by some ambitions or other ideas. It's a very vivid image [the tail wagging the dog], but it captures a certain reality. It cannot be that PiS, which enjoys dominant, crushing support within the United Right, has to continually yield to the expectations and demands of its coalition partners. This is indeed not a healthy construct in a democracy - stated Jacek Sasin on Radio Zet.
