Czech Republic Elections

[Bono]

Civic Democratic Party (Občanská demokratická strana)       35.4    
Czech Social Democratic Party (Česká strana sociálně demokratická)       32.3    


Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (Komunistická strana Čech a Moravy)       12.8    
Christian Democratic Union - Czechoslovak People's Party (Křesťansko-demokratická unie - Československá strana lidová)       7.2    
Green Party (Strana zelených)       6.3    


Civic Democratic Party takes most votes, but I bet the coalitions will screw it.

I must admit to rather liking the ODS, at least from what i've heard - they seem a pretty progressive party, in comparison to many christian-democrats in the rest of europe at least.

ODS aren't Christian-Democrats.

Left block :

KSCM (communist) : 26 seats
CSSD (social-democratic) : 74 seats

Total left : 100 seats

Center-right block :

SZ (greens) : 6 seats
KDU-CSL (christian-democratic) : 13 seats
ODS (nationalist-conservative) : 81 seats

Total center-right : 100 seats

(Total number of seats : 200)

Isn't KDU-CSL in coalition with the lefties?
Doesn't that put them in the Left Block?

Wiki article says:
"The Social Democratic leader, Jiří Paroubek, is talking of challenging the result and suggesting that democracy is in as much danger as in 1948 (when the Communists seized power)."

Wow, that guy's a total looney.
