    Default Czech election: Populist billionaire Andrej Babis set to become PM

    Some regard populist Mr Babis as the Czech equivalent of Donald Trump

    You won't get much response from the lib crowd here, but I think this is good news.

    JPP liberals couldn't find the Czech Republic on a map with both hands and a flashlight.

    I suspect they'd have to use Google to discover that it even exists.

    In a blow to the country’s political elite, four of the top five vote-getting parties had challenged the traditional political mainstream.

    Some have campaigned on a ticket of opposing mass immigration and perceived Islamification and have attacked the country’s memberships of the EU and Nato.

    Mr Babis’s anti-establishment rhetoric has convinced many he can fix the country’s problems, from graft to transportation, with parallels being drawn with Mr Trumps’ “Make America Great Again!” slogan.

    ++

    outstanding. another blow against mass migration and the faceless bureaucrats of Brussels ( EU)

    If JPP liberals think this guy is like Trump in any way, shape, or form, they might start bashing him.
