PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech billionaire Andrej Babis won a thumping victory in Saturday’s parliamentary election, giving the anti-establishment businessman facing fraud charges a strong mandate to cut taxes, lift public investment and fight immigration.
Babis's ANO movement held an unbeatable 30.04 percent of the vote with 94.4 percent of voting stations having reported -- almost three times any other party and giving it a chance to rule with just one partner in a coalition. (Graphic tmsnrt.rs/2vO4hPW)
ANO is the first party to break a quarter century of dominance by two mainstream center-right and center-left parties, highlighting a shifting political landscape in Europe where a refugee crisis has given rise to protest groups.
At just 7.4 percent, the ruling Social Democrats of Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka were on course for their worst result since the country peacefully split with Slovakia in 1993.
The far-right, anti-European Union SPD party made strong gains, capturing more than 10 percent of the vote, while another protest party, the Pirates, was set to win a number of seat by appealing to unhappy liberal voters.

Q: How much does the Pirate party pay to get listeners?
A: A buccaneer.

A “Pirates” party in a landlocked country. Interesting.
Maybe Central Europeans can teach the Europeans farther west how to protect their homelands.
Vlad knew what to do.
Now we have Brexit, Austria, Poland and Czech with Hungary soon to add to the list.
Don’t forget Norway and Denmark being right of center. Sweden votes next year. The Swiss are no fans of moose limbs either.
Belgium, Holland, France, Germany and England are the core moose boot lockers.
His wife is Monika Babisova.
She put the “babe” in Babisova.
You mean Babe-isova.
