Opinion Poll for Lidové Noviny: Paroubek most at fault for government crisis
The person most responsible for causing the current political crisis is according to an exclusive opinion poll by MEDIAN the Chairman of the ČSSD Party Jiří Paroubek. He’s also the person who stands to gain the most.
From the more than 400 people questioned, 44% think that Jiří Paroubek is to blame for the crisis, whilst 41% lay the blame on Mirek Topolánek. Only 10% of those questioned hold President Václav Klaus responsible.
It’s interesting that more men find Jiří Paroubek to blame for unleashing the current crisis, whilst amongst women fault for the fall of the government is equally divided between the ODS and ČSSD leaders.
It’s largely young people from Prague and Central Czech that blame Paroubek whilst in villages and smaller towns people see Topolánek being at fault for the current situation.
As for the question of who stands to gain the most from the political crisis roughly a third of all those questioned answered unequivocally Jiří Paroubek. This view was shared by both young and old, and inhabitants of both villages and large cities.
