Czech Nationalist Reelected

For those of you who are keeping score, anti-immigrant nationalists have won another presidential election. This time, Fox News reports, the win came in the Czech Republic.

Europe’s populist movement was given a shot in the arm on Saturday when Czech Republic President Milos Zeman, running primarily on an anti-migration platform, fended off a challenge from political neophyte Jiri Drahos.

Zeman won 51.4 percent of the vote from the two-day runoff while Drahos won 48.6 percent.

Zeman, who has warned of an “organized invasion” of migrants and asked why young men fleeing their country didn’t take up arms and fight back home, had embraced the populist wave that swept through the West in 2016.

He was one of very few European leader to endorse President Donald Trump’s bid for the White House and by calling for a referendum on the Republic’s membership of the European Union, has taken a page from the British “Brexit” vote.

Sounds to COTTonLINE like the pro-Czech candidate won and the globalist lost. Wonderful, a Czech that won’t bounce.
