Poll suggests Civic Democrats would only take 22 seats in Chamber of Deputies

The biggest party in the coalition government, the Civic Democrats, would only win 22 places in the 200-seat Chamber of Deputies if an election were held this month, suggests an opinion poll just conducted by the STEM agency. The opposition Social Democrats, who also came first at the last election, would be clear winners with 84 MPs, the survey indicates; next would be TOP 09 with 44 seats, followed by the Communist Party with 22. The Christian Democrats and the Citizens’ Rights Party-Zemanites would also win seats in the lower house.
