On Fri together with Saturday, Czechs were voting their representatives inwards the fourteen regions (current pinnacle subdivisions of Czechia) – together with a tertiary of voters were refreshing their Senators. The resulting maps of the "strongest political party" await rather scary. The Slovak authoritative billionaire Babiš' ANO/YES movement "won" nine of the fourteen regional elections together with volition bring a candidate inwards the 2d circular of the senate elections inwards most of the districts, too.



Pilsen's renaissance urban total hall.

Given his similarity to the dictatorial attitudes of the communist political party (not surprising given his existence an influential communist political party member, together with almost certainly a snitch, earlier the autumn of communism), the outcome – who is the "first" – terrified me. But alongside around hindsight together with calmness, it's non therefore bad. Why? Well, because the snitch ANO political party along alongside the unreformed KSČM communist political party soundless bring below 50% almost everywhere. So given the ability of the majority, they didn't truly win.




In the Czech government, ANO along alongside the social democrats, ČSSD, are the 2 senior parties inwards the coalition that also includes the junior Christian democrats. This bunch was formed during around "anti-right-wing" hysteria – before long after a right-wing authorities was removed past times a de facto coup d'état led past times around investigators (whose justification has been later on shown bogus past times the courts) inwards July 2013. But I intend that the relationships inwards the Czech political sphere bring shifted.

And particularly inwards the regions, the politicians are truly dividing the parties mostly along the trouble that I indicated. We bring democratic parties on i side together with non-democratic parties on the other side. Communists were considered the "main example" of non-democratic parties inwards the recent decades but ANO has basically trumped them. Babiš uses a vocabulary for the parliament together with other pillars of our republican organisation that makes Adolf Hitler await similar a staunch democrat inwards comparison.




In spite of the "gold medal" for ANO inwards most regions, the ANO governors volition dominion inwards a little minority of the regions only. In many regions, ANO, the #1 political party inwards the polls, volition endure snubbed. Our Pilsner Region is a canonical lawsuit of these anti-ANO coalitions. In the iv previous years or so, the Pilsner Region was ruled past times a left-wing, socialist-communist, coalition. But the recent elections truly brought us an improvement.

At 10 am today, a novel coalition was announced for the Pilsner Region together with it largely emulates the electrical current Pilsner urban total hall (the municipal together with regional governors aren't the same). The governor volition endure a social democrat, the center-right ODS that I ultimately voted for volition endure the 2d senior political party inwards the coalition, together with 2 smaller, less political blocs had to endure added because the political spectrum is truly fragmented.

It makes perfect sense. The original query of the elections wasn't the left-or-right dilemma. Instead, ANO managed to alter the query to a to a greater extent than primal one. Were the changes that nosotros saw inwards the province together with especially inwards the cities together with regions after 1989, particularly inwards the "very free" decade of the 1990s, basically right? Or were these events a sequence of outrageous, harmful crimes? This is truly how the ex-communist billionaire Babiš reframed the question.

And piece his ANO won the gilded medal, most of the voters answered No. Of course of written report the changes after 1989 were basically nifty together with the improvements are agency likewise self-evident. You know, the social democrats are to a greater extent than left-wing but when they were facing this dilemma, their determination was clear. They prefer a coalition alongside the center-right ODS together with similar parties over a coalition alongside ANO. Our percentage merely wasn't plagued past times around omnipresent corruption or other things that the nasty hovnomet Babiš loves to beak most together with his low-quality voters dear to heed to. Things merely locomote to a greater extent than or less great. We don't require a dictator to prepare things. Up to recently, all post-1989 mayors were ODS members. Social democrats know that it was a success. So they joined an ANO-free coalition.

There are other regions where the "victorious" ANO volition stay inwards the opposition. And inwards the 2d circular of the senate elections, the democratic candidates are to a greater extent than probable to back upwards each other against their ANO competitors, too. It's non truly a coincidence. ANO is largely adopting the "toxic junk" condition of the communist party. In the decades after the Velvet Revolution, the unreformed communist political party kept on getting around 15% of votes inwards average. Democratic parties were to a greater extent than ofttimes than non constrained past times pledges that they wouldn't locomote into into a coalition alongside the communists. This made the politics harder, of course. All the coalitions had to accomplish to a greater extent than than 50% of deputies fifty-fifty though exclusively 85% of the deputies were "eligible" to start with.

ANO is partly "impossible to squad upwards with", much similar the communist party, therefore fifty-fifty when it is the unmarried strongest party, it doesn't hateful much. Needless to say, this resolution – piece it is a relief – is risky because Babiš along alongside his most natural partners, the communists, may surpass the 50% threshold inwards the future, maybe fifty-fifty during the 2017 parliamentary elections. If that happens together with this coalition volition endure created, it volition endure tough. Democracy volition bring failed together with a civil state of war may plough out to endure a to a greater extent than viable solution to straight off Earth affairs, an lawsuit that may endure needed to salve the province from xl additional years of totalitarianism.

But we're non in that place yet together with the excessive self-confidence of Babiš together with his aßlickers is unwarranted.

Back to America

Meanwhile, an obscene 2005 recording of Donald Trump together with Billy Bush has emerged. Donald Trump offers quite around "locker room talk". It's a beak that differs from what he ordinarily offers on TV or inwards political discussions but it does exhibit how he truly thinks most the women together with the relationships. He's a primitive bumpkin.

On the other hand, he's apparently correct if yous focus on the evaluation of the truth value of his propositions. Most women, including – together with maybe particularly – attractive women permit wealthy men similar himself to exercise anything alongside their bodies together with fifty-fifty intimate organs because they observe wealth sexy and/or they're subconsciously computing the costs together with benefits of a sure contact alongside men. And a real large percent of women would permit such things if they got the novel slice of furniture from Trump, anyway. ;-)

I am convinced that many women, including attractive ones, must bring refused whatever such touches past times Donald Trump, however. He has for certain used around slurs for those women because of that. But I am sure that around of the women who rejected the impolite touches of Trump's manus must bring been fine women together with non fifty-fifty feminists.

So every bit a moral purpose model, I am sure that Donald Trump has failed. But I don't intend that the Clinton household unit of measurement – partly because of Bill together with Hillary's tolerance for his acts – may offering a vastly superior choice inwards these respects. Moreover, I don't believe that these questions are the most of import things for the time to come U.S.A. president. I exercise intend that it's to a greater extent than of import what the adjacent U.S.A. president volition exercise alongside the province of affairs inwards Syrian Arab Republic or the relationships alongside Russian Federation together with many other things. And the real tough together with personal second presidential debate has strengthened my persuasion that Trump is the superior candidate.
