From the latest copy of National Review:
The Czech Republic is without a government, and times have scarcely been better. June elections resulted in a parliamentary deadlock, with no political party able to form a coalition. President Vaclav Klaus’s first pick for prime minister resigned in October after failing to win a confidence vote, and now Klaus is urging MPs to amend the constitution in order to call early elections. But while the politicians have scrambled for a solution, unemployment has fallen, GDP has risen, and life has gone on much as before. We trust the Czechs will want a functioning state eventually — there’s that whole national-defense thing, for instance. But in the meantime, let’s hear a cheer for limited government.
