Disclaimer, some of the things he's promising (access to abortion, civil unions for same sex couples) are not supported by considerable part of his coalition. Want to be proven wrong but PiS got elected on delivering impossible, Tusk is known for the exact opposite.

Not delivering the possible, as it were ? I'm genuinely asking ...

Wasn't my intention and I've never looked at it this way but yeah, Tusk can stumble on most basic things if the change causes even minor inconvenience to vocal part of his coalitions. His previous government was described as government of "warm water in the sink" because it was baseline of what could be expected to be delivered.
