After some of his party's rebels deserted him...center right PM Petr Necas' fate looked sealed...to defeat.
But...it appears his cabinet will survive...after the rebels gave up.

A crucial and controversial lower house vote Wednesday now looks likely to pass.
It will raise the VAT, income and other taxes to cut budget deficits...and is coupled with a confidence vote.
