Poland’s recent elections were the first in which the postcommunist left was irrelevant. The postcommunists know that they can no longer live off their legacy of organization and discipline, so they have chosen a clever and attractive 34-year-old leader. He has nothing to do with the communist era and has sacked all former Party members from important positions, even barring former Prime Minister Leszek Miller from standing for parliament.
不久前的波兰选举第一次将后共产主义者排除在外。后共产主义者们知道组织井然、纪律严明的传统再也无法帮助他们获胜，因此他们选择了一位年仅34岁、魅力四射的聪明领袖。此人与共产主义时代毫无瓜葛，他把所有前共产党员都从重要位置上赶下了台，甚至禁止前总理莱舍克·米莱尔参与议会选举。
