Czech president says to name rightist leader PM

PRAGUE, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus said on Monday he is prepared to once again nominate rightist Civic Democrat leader Mirek Topolanek as prime minister after his proposal for a "rainbow coalition" government failed.

Klaus named Topolanek as prime minister after an inconclusive June election, but with the lower house split evenly between leftist and rightist parties, the government failed to win a majority vote in October.

Klaus proposed on Friday a broad coalition of four parties in parliament -- he only excluded the far left Communists -- that would govern for a limited time before early elections. But the leftist Social Democrats rejected that option outright and Klaus told a news conference he sees no room for a parliamentary majority agreement on a new government.
