The analysis of elections to the Chamber of deputies of the Czech republic between 1996 and 2002 by aggregate data method
Reimer, Petr ; Lebeda, Tomáš (advisor) ; Novák, Miroslav (referee)
2002 were accompanied by a gradual decrease of voter turnout, decrease in the number of parties that exceed the five-percent threshold and by a decrease in regional variability of party support. In that period we could also distinguish a substantial regional dissimilarity of support between left-wing and right-wing parties. According to the following analysis we could explain those differences by various socioeconomic parameters of electoral districts. The most specific electorate among all parliamentary parties could be indentified with the Christian Democrats, whose support is regionally based and positively correlated with the regional rate of religiosity. The analysis of aggregate data allows us to explain the relation between party support and regional characteristics of electoral districts but does not permit explanation of the motives of individual voting behavior. Those conclusions could be made on the basis of public opinion research. This analysis is in general in accordance with the findings of research agencies, concerning the role of economic parameters as the main explanation factors of party support. Nevertheless, the relevance of this statement still remains to be grounded on a longer series of election data. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
