Good news: commies, nazis and Moravian separationists failed in Brno

Results of the European Parliament election show that voters in Brno are more liberal than people in the rest of the Czech republic. Good news, isn’t it?

Unreformed Communist party (still feeling like dictatorship of the proletariat) got 10.21 % vote share in Brno (14.18 % in the whole country). Workers’ party based on ultra-conservative and racist ideology got 0.89 % (1.07 % in total). Separationists Moravians called “Moravané” had only 999 supporters in Brno, which means 1.00 % vote share (so finally, we DO like Prague, or at least don’t hate it too much).

As well as in the rest of the Czech republic, the elections were won by right-wing ODS in Brno, with left-wing ČSSD second, commies third and conservative christian-democrats fourth.
