VK for VK
2010-05-31
It doesn't work in English, but in Czech the initials for both
grand coalition (velká koalice) and Václav Klaus are VK. Despite
the lopsided victory of the Right in the elections, there's no
reason to believe that VK won't continue to push for a VK.
Perhaps the ideal outcome for him would be a four-party
coalition of ÈSSD, ODS, TOP 09 and VV. At first glance, it
wouldn't be a grand coalition at all, and the government of
national unity - or whatever they called it - would allow the
nation's byznys-meni to sit down civilly and divide everything
up. Not only that, but the two major parties could gradually and
systematically subsume the other two, now that TOP 09 and VV
have served their purpose. In Klaus's words for LN today, they
aren't real political parties anyway. And finally, by changing the
electoral law, the dalliance voters had this time with "dangerous"
new parties could be avoided in the future.
