Lack of Staying Power?
Debt concerns were clearly on the minds of Czech voters when they went to the polls in late May, as indicated by the third-place finish of TOP 09, a new conservative party that campaigned almost entirely on a pledge to impose the harsh fiscal discipline required to avoid the much-dreaded “Greece scenario.” The center-left CSSD finished on top, but its seat total of 56 ruled out any possibility of claiming a majority in the 200-member Chamber of Deputies except in a partnership with its chief rival, the center-right ODS, which won 53 seats.
