The Czech capital will be led by a 'Pirate' mayor for the next four years. The three coalition partners responsible for choosing the mayor have agreed that Prague's new mayor will be Zdeněk Hřib, who is 37 years old and current leader of the Czech pirate party. One of the first goals will be to focus on ridding the city of its dependence on a limited amount of IT suppliers, hopefully leading to lowered expenses and greater efficiency. Another goal is to facilitate digitization of some currently paper-based government services. The party has also been aiming at fighting corruption, reforming tax regulations, and overhauling the country's copyright legislation.

    Yeah, and the right wingers still win! The UK is no better off than the US, both ships are sailing in the same direction as one flotilla. We are dealing with a psychological problem, not political. Psychology explains the rise of fascism much better than politics ever could. And most of the problem can be traced backed to not letting little children play with themselves.

    You say it like politics could ever explain something.
    Even the rambling of Eth-F can explain anything better than politics.

      Oooh, come on now. That's a bold claim.
