WARSAW (International Herald Tribune) - The text message spread with viral speed among the cellphones of Polish teens. With national parliamentary elections coming up Sunday, kids had a clear mission: "Steal your grandmother's ID," the text jokingly implored. The message referred to the conventional wisdom here that conservative older women put the ruling Law and Justice Party and the Kaczynski brothers - the notorious twins with the round faces of aging cherubs who are prime minister and president - into office. Without their identity cards, the grandmothers would not be able to vote. If granny does not vote, the government could be driven from office.  Teenagers guffawed. The Kaczynskis fumed. Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said that those who repeated the message "act against you and also against the Polish nation." The small Polish Peasants Party quickly ran its own advertisement in which a grandmother catches her grandson in the act of snatching her identity card. She tells there's no need for him to steal it, because she plans to vote for the Peasants Party and not Law and Justice. In the previous 2005 election, Law and Justice benefited from low voter turnout, needing only 3.2 million votes in a country of 38 million to take control of government in a coalition with several smaller parties. The most recent coalition fell apart over a contentious scandal-filled summer, leading to early elections this weekend.  Opponents are counting on a strong turnout by younger voters this time around. The latest opinion polls show Civic Platform, a free-market, pro-European rival party, poised to win the election Sunday. But polls here have proved highly unreliable, skewed by the country's historically lethargic turnout, which was a little over 40 percent in the elections two years ago.
