Prague, March 5 (CTK) - A new Czech movement similar to the American conservative "Tea Party" is being born on the ruins of the split opposition Dawn of Direct Democracy, daily Lidove noviny (LN) writes Thursday.

Dawn chairman Tomio Okamura lost control of the 14 deputies for his movement in February. Most of the Dawn deputy group then agreed to found a new political party to defend national interests.

Only a few of the MPs were actually Dawn members as the movement has merely nine.

LN writes that other politicians who want to establish an equivalent of the Tea Party, a Christian-conservative political project, are luring the "orphaned" Dawn MPs.

One of the leaders of the nascent bloc is,Zbynek Passer, co-owner of the Passerinvest Group giant developers' firm, who was unsuccessfully running in the election to the Prague Assembly with his For Prague movement last autumn.

Passer, who criticises the EU's exorbitant red tape and is sharply opposed to liberals, confirmed to LN that a four-member preparatory committee of the new entity had been formed to prepare an ideological conference.

Small and new parties participate in the project, such as the Patriots of the Czech Republic, the Restart movement, the Civic Conservative Party and people around Passer's For Prague.

The first three entities were considered the tools of dubious businessmen and lobbyists with close links to top politics, such as Tomas Hrdlicka, that were to complicate the talks on the Prague coalition after the local polls last autumn, LN writes.

LN: New "Tea Party" movement arising in Czech Republic

Tea Party Republicans contemplating a bid to oust Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) shouldn't count on Democrats to help them unseat the Speaker.

And without their support, there is no chance to topple Boehner in this Congress.

But Democrats from across an ideological spectrum say they'd rather see Boehner remain atop the House than replace him with a more conservative Speaker who would almost certainly be less willing to reach across the aisle in search of compromise. Replacing him with a Tea Party Speaker, they say, would only bring the legislative process already limping along to a screeching halt.

I'd probably vote for Boehner [because] who the hell is going to replace him? [Ted] Yoho? Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) saidWednesday, referencing the Florida Tea Party Republican whos fought Boehner on a host of bipartisan compromise bills.

In terms of the institution, I would rather have John Boehner as the Speaker than some of these characters who came here thinking that they're going to change the world, Pascrell added.

Liberal Rep. Ral Grijalva (D-Ariz.) agreed that, for Democrats, replacing Boehner could lead to a worse situation.

Then we would get Scalise or somebody? Geez, come on, said Grijalva, who referenced House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.). We can be suicidal but not stupid.

Boehner, who has grappled with dissent from the Tea Party wing since he took the Speaker's gavel in 2011, has seen opposition to his reign grow this year, even as he commands the largest GOP majority since the Hoover administration.

Thats led to talk of a new coup, something that is more difficult to pull off after the election of a Speaker on each Congresss first day of business.

Any lawmaker can file a motion to vacate a sitting Speaker, a move that would force a vote of the full House. The effort would almost certainly fail, as the conservatives would need the overwhelming support of Democrats to win a majority. But it would be an embarrassing setback to Boehner and his leadership team, who entered the year hoping their commanding new majority would alleviate some of the whipping problems that had plagued them in the past.

CHARACTERS from popular childrens books such as the Harry Potter series and Alices Adventures in Wonderland came together for a special tea party as part of World Book Day on Thursday.

Youngsters in a range of colourful costumes enjoyed the event at The Hive on March 5, which modelled on the Mad Hatters Tea Party from Lewis Carrolls classic and the Disney adaption.

Activities included a Wheres Wally hunt, story time, games and prizes as well as crafts and a fancy dress parade.

Luckily, unlike the event thrown by the Mad Hatter in the 1865 book, party-goers werent made to switch places at a moments notice.

World Book Day, now in its 18th year, is an annual event founded by the United Nations working to encourage children and young people to appreciate reading.
