Some Social Democrats wants change of election law

Some members of the defeated Social Democratic Party are in favour of supporting a Civic Democrat-led government for a period of two years in exchange for a change of the election law from a proportional to majority system. Party chairman Jiri Paroubek told Lidove Noviny this was not the position of the party's executive committee. The two big parties -the Civic Democrats and the Social Democrats - have attempted to push through this change in the past but it was strongly opposed by the smaller parties in parliament whom it would effectively wipe out.
