Ilková, Veronika ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Charvát, Jan (referee)
The bachelor's thesis processes the data of the results of pre-election surveys for the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to evaluate the quality of pre-election polls for the period from the first elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 1996 to the last elections in 2021. At the same time, individual aspects of the surveys, which can affect their (poor) quality, are examined. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes the historical development of the researched phenomenon. Subsequently, the basic methodological methods used in the construction of this type of surveys are presented. The individual types of surveys with electoral topis from the point of view of the contracting authority and the user are also described. The practical part defines the data used together with the basic introduction of agencies organizing pre-election surveys, it deals also with the chosen methodology. Selected statistical methods allow the processing of selected data and the subsequent answering of the main research question and two sub-questions. The thesis also provides closer view on ČSSD (Czech social democratic party) as the party whose prediction often significantly differed from the actual electoral gains.

Likely voter model at the BEGINNING of March 2020
Pilnáček, Matouš
In a survey conducted by Public Opinion Research Centre in March 2020, we investigated how people trust to political Parties and whether they are willing to take part in elections to the Chamber of Deputies. In the press release, there are two different types of information: the likely voter model and the party preferences. The likely voter model indicates the anticipated result of hypothetical elections to the Chamber of Deputies in the time of conducting the survey. The party preferences give us information about public sympathy for political parties in the group of citizens who have voting right and there is also included a part of citizens who will not take part in elections or they do not know who to vote for.

Krudenc, Václav ; Shavit, Anna (advisor) ; Konrádová, Marcela (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the legislative procedure in the Czech Republic for the purposes of lobbying. The theoretical part aims to acquaint the reader with the very concept of lobbying and its history and then systematically classify lobbying in terms of public affairs. The second part of the thesis is a thorough analysis of the current rules of procedure of both chambers of the Parliament of the Czech Republic and a description of the stages in which it is possible to enter into draft laws and amend them. This part describes the process of creation of laws from the legislative initiative through individual commenting procedures to negotiations in both chambers of parliament and the possibility of applying the presidential veto. The final part of the thesis deals with the historical genesis of the rules of procedure of both chambers of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. The main goal of this work is to present possible ways in which private interests can be enforced in the law-making process in the Czech Republic.

Legislative Behaviour of Deputies in the Czech Republic
Hájek, Lukáš ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Kopeček, Lubomír (referee) ; Pink, Michal (referee)
Scrutiny of legislative behaviour of members of parliament (MPs) has a long tradition in Western Europe. Nonetheless, there has been a research gap in the Czech Republic.

To be more specific, I employ quantitative methods of analysis. I deal with the data on all the members of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic who held the mandate between 1993 and 2017. Overall, the original and unique dataset consists of 1,518 legislators and their comprehensive parliamentary activity. The results suggest that two main conflicts drive parliamentary politics - the institutional division between ruling parties and opposition, and the ideological left-right socio-economic dimension. Besides this, the thesis shows that both the age and tenure of the MPs noticeably affect their parliamentary activity.
