The Czech government have signed a deal with the US to allow the US to build a radar station on their soil. 68% of Czechs are against such a brazen compromise of sovereignty, irrespective of whatever financial benefits the station will entail. Yet another example of the fallacy of 'representative democracy' in the EU. I hope for their sake that their parliament blocks it when it goes to the floor. The only saving grace is that the ruling party have only 100 of the 200 seats.
