Election fiasco of the parties of government coalition might mean a beginning of the end of Mirek Topolánek,   but it does not mean an end of suffering of Czech politic.

One of its biggest pains is pushing of installation of alien radar in our country by few politics against the will of majority of nation.

Those politics already can not, even by mistake, proclaim the right to push radar from the authority of their functions. It was not truth after elections two years before and it is open lie after this year one.

In the situation when the tops of right-wings power elite are already on their departure, it would be irresponsible and absurd to make some important decisions  on the way out ,which would mark our country for a number of decades.

The ODS itself admits that elections ware not about the regions affairs but it became (”because of CSSD” they say) the matter of countrywide politics.

They changed its character into a kind of nationwide referendum. Than naturally, the immediate recognition of full laps of both government right wings parties is needed.

The case of Greens is straight exemplary. Martin Bursík initiated the congress of his party still some time in advance before elections right to allow the voters to express definite agreement or disagreement with his wing and style of making politics.

The voters expressed it quite unambiguously: with the thumb down. In fact the chair of greens did not win even those three percent. Not a little part of them are anyway from the regions openly rebelling against Bursík.

He has got perhaps enough strong nature to react on thumb down with the middle finger up. But if the radar should be pushed by this way, it would put into serious doubt much of that, thanks to what the democracy in our country overall functions.

The affairs of next days, when the parliament should make decision about radar, should be in its way more essential than the election affairs itself. It will show itself, if those who lost the elections, are able to respect the rules, according to which the game of democracy is played.

The base of those rules is not the behind-stage recruitment of overrun rats and strange policy in production of the party congresses. The base rule is respect for the will of voters. Will Martin Bursík and Mirek Topolánek understand at least that?
