Coalition with left could keep Poland's Tusk in power

WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the leftist opposition could form a coalition after the next election, senior figures from both parties say, a deal that would keep Tusk in power and commit Poland to a timetable for joining the euro.

Tie-ups between the parties - or their predecessors in Poland's fractured political landscape - have never got off the ground in the past because the ideological divide was too great. This time people on both sides say the gap is narrowing.
