open ballot
How is it that this election was able to be done on an open ballot, when the EU (of which the Czech Republic is a member) mandates secret ballots in all elections as a condition of membership? 75.76.213.106 (talk) 17:08, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

NPOV
This article is replete with POV material that does not meet Wikipedia's standards. In the lede: "He signed his presidential pledge with a platinum-plated pen allegedly worth up to 1 million koruna (about US$61,300). A Czech company had donated the pen, one of a limited edition of 10, to Klaus,[4] who promised he would exercise his powers cautiously and conservatively during his second term."

Another example: "All parties except for ODS agreed that the vote should be held publicly by acclamation (which they have the majority to decide in the lower house), threatening a blocking of the third round of the joint sitting can not agree on the election method in the third round.[24] More than two thirds of Czechs favor public elections.[25]"

Towards the end: "In his acceptance speech Klaus talked of wanting to be 'President of all Czechs' and his staff spend the following days trying to convey the idea of a nation happy with the outcome. In reality, the fact that his re-election depended on 3 Social Democrats who left their party in deeply suspicious circumstances has thrown a large cloud over what he had hoped would be more a coronation than a re-election."

Reading this article, I can't shake the impression that little effort has been made to suggest even the pretense of neutrality. As it stands, it presents a strongly and rather explicitly negative point of view towards ODS and Vaclav Klaus. Alkibiades14 (talk) 18:07, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
