@Heat

Does this seem like a plausable scenario?

1989-199x Czesław Kiszczak (PZPR/SdRP-ZSL-SD-PAX Coalition with Solidarity/Democratic Union support and confidence)
1989: Wojciech Jaruzelski-PZPR (173),Lech Wałęsa-Solidarity (161),Roman Malinowski-ZSL (76),Tadeusz Witold Młyńczak-SD (27),Zenon Komender-PAX (10),Kazimierz Morawski-UChS (8),Wiesław Gwiżdż-PZK-S (5)
May 1991: Władysław Frasyniuk-UD (80),Wiesław Chrzanowski-WAK (48),Jaroslaw Kaczyński-POC (48),Waldemar Pawlak-PSL (47),Donald Tusk-KLD (43),Leszek Moczulsk-KPN (37),Józef Ślisz-PSL-PL (31),Lech Wałęsa-Solidarity (27),Janusz Rewiński-PPPP (16),Czesław Kiszczak-SdRP (15),collective leadership-ChD (11),Tadeusz Fiszbach-PSU (11),Janusz Korwin-Mikke-UPR (8),Ryszard Bugaj/Karol Modzelewski-SP (6),Stanislaw Tymiński-Party X (3),Zbigniew Bujak-RDS (3)

Basically Wałęsa agrees to Mazowiecki’s proposed plan after the 1989 elections and let Kiszczak be in charge til 1993 so that Solidarity can be in a better position to obtain government and the PZPR/its possible successors to be permanently damaged.

The plan obviously doesn’t quite go to plan-the two still crash and form their own parties and Kiszczak and Fiszbach get in conflict due to the General refusing to back down. Mazowiecki enters the second round and defeats Wałęsa but is left with a peculiar situation where no one can really form a majority and thus Kiszczak gets to carry on as interim PM by default til the next elections.
 
Does this seem like a plausable scenario?
Sorry I'm late, but basically, not even slightly.

1) That Mazowiecki idea was doomed as soon as it sank in that Solidarity had an overwhelming mandate and people expected them to actually do something with it, which is why he ended up changing his mind in the first place. Voting for Jaruzelski to be President was really the last straw for Wałęsa. I guess you could handwave and say the State Department got the thumbscrews out, but they did that IOTL anyway.
2) Kiszczak was struggling to convince even PZPR MPs let alone anyone else, they'd realised how screwed they were by then.
2) Even if that did actually happen, you'd have a way stronger anti-communist backlash next election, especially if Kiszczak has to eat the costs of the Balcerowicz Plan. Kaczyński's radicalism probably gets rocket boosters in this scenario, and KPN probably does way better (even if they had no money and Moczulski was a bore).
3) There's basically no reason to think the early 90s party soup would shake out the same way. There's no reason for the UD to exist if Kiszczak is PM and presumably lovebombing the likes of Michnik, Kuroń and Geremek, the Gdańsk liberals only got as prominent as they did because Wałęsa thought they were pliable and installed Bielecki as PM, there's less reason for Wałęsa to split from the Kaczyńskis if he (presumably) regrets going along with putting Kiszczak in...
4) Does Jaruzelski still resign if the PZPR is clinging to power?
5) How does Mazowiecki win? He was the worst candidate you could possibly imagine, and here he doesn't even have any accomplishments as PM to lean on.
6) Fiszbach was basically crypto-Solidarity by this point (Wałęsa even tried to convince him to stand for President against Jaruzelski), which is also why basically why nobody from the PZPR followed him into the PUS IOTL.

1960-1970 John Freeman (Labour-Liberal Coalition,Labour Majority)
1960: John Freeman-Labour (330),Anthony Eden-Conservative (265),Jo Grimond-Liberal (21)

-Clem loses his seat,leaving Fred Roberts as the only one to take over as Leader from Uncle George

-Labour does slightly worse than OTL in ‘35,with Morrison among the big names that doesn’t manage to win a seat

-Nev fires Churchill for Narvik and Wood refuses the Premiership,leaving Oliver Stanley as the only choice by default due to his post

-Stanley is better and more competent than Churchill and the war ends slightly earlier-a bit by the nuclear bomb being made in February and Hanover and Leipzig being nuked-but suffers from a lack of charisma and speech making,with the only reason why the Tories keep more seats being the church bells being rung to tell people the war is over

-AV becomes Leader after Roberts dies and more or less does the same Clem did OTL,but with Nye in a more prominent role

-Uncle Fred as PM is competent and doesn’t do anything that wrong but,due to Nye becoming leader,is in a precarious situation and stays slightly longer by making a deal with the 3 Liberal MP most willing to switch sides,which makes him be branded as a crook despite said deal being perfectly legal

-Nye leads a Lab-Lib coalition which among other things makes Welsh and Scottish Assemblies a thing
