Today collapsed the government of Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek after losing a vote of no-confidence created by the opposition party of Social Democrats. The ODS party has lost by the bare minimum of 101 votes. Although the Czech Republic currently has an important role of presiding the European Union, the prime minister believes the EU leadership can function in terms of administration, even without a stable government. The EU committee itself also hopes for the best, believing that the Czech Republic will solve its internal political turmoil and will continue leading the European Union for next 3 months.
CZ: Dnes konci vlada Mirka Topolanka (ODS) a to pote, kdy ji snemovna vyjadrila neduveru skrze prestne potrebnych 101 hlasu (stalo se to tak poprve v samostatne historii Ceske Republiky). Topolanek od Klause ocekava, ze ho znovu poveri do sestaveni noveho kabinetu jako sefa strany. Jestlize se ODS nepodari sestavit vetsinovou nekomunistickou vladu, ODS odmitne “urednickou ci polopolitickou vladu, ktera navrhuje CSSD” a predcasne volby by se konaly v lete. Evropska komise ale plne veri, ze Cesi si tuto prekerni situaci vyresi a ceske predsednictvi EU bude nadale funkcni. Za poslednich 10 let nezazila EU situaci, kdy by v prave predsedajici zemi nastala rozsahlejsi obmena nebo pad vlady.

So Tanya, having seen both systems which one makes the most sense to you? I’m truly befuddled by how parlimentary politics work!
I don’t know, that is a tough question to answer. I don’t know enough about both of these political systems to make an educated answer. It seems like the parliamentary system creates more drama though…or is it just the Czech Parliamentary system? Also, I think I would rather vote for my president myself than have other (sometimes corrupted) parties vote for me.
What do you think?
