I would be very surprised if any country/leader with a good deal of the population leaving to gain a better job/housing/benefits/lifestyle/send money home etc etc agreeing to make in or out of work benefits less favourable elsewhere.
They would be idiots to do otherwise. Therefore with so many nations benefit system less favourable than our own very generous one we will have Bobs and No of getting a real value change on this one.
He's gotta try though

Of course he would not accept such a change. Polish people (along with many others from the eastern EU nations come to the UK to work and to have their low pay topped up by the UK taxpayer. They also draw other in work benefits such as Child Benefit for children who do not live here and much of their cash is sent back to Poland.
It is quite clear that Mr Duda will not countenance a change to the system which sees cash sucked out of the UK economy and pumped into the Polish economy. This is one of the very many reasons why the EU does not work in the UK’s interests and one of the many “advantages” of the EU which will not change. That’s why an “Out” vote is the only rational answer.
A “Brexit” may cause the rest of the EU a few problems (not least the likes of Poland who may see some international cash transfers dry up) but that’s their problem, not ours. We, apparently, will have enough problems dealing with an EU over which we have no influence. In fact that's precisely what we're doing now so perhaps we can turn our efforts to forging trading links with growing economies.
