Poll suggest majority thinks government will not be successful

A new poll released by the STEM agency has suggested that two thirds of Czechs think the current coalition government will not be successful, with only thirty percent of those queried saying they thought the government would rule until 2010. A majority of those polled told the agency they did not think that the government would be able to push through key reforms. The government, led by Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, made up the Civic and Christian Democrats and the Greens, barely won its confidence vote in January. It had to rely on an agreement with two rebel MPs to allow it to gain a majority.
