PRAGUE (Reuters) - The leader of the Czech Republic's centre-left Social Democrats said on Monday he would start talks with centrists on forming a government despite the fact that his own party ejected him from its negotiating team after a poor election result.
The Social Democrats won the largest share of votes in the weekend's parliamentary election, but its 20.5 percent score was the worst result since 1992 and a party leadership body has asked the leader, Bohuslav Sobotka, to resign.
