The effect of migration on electoral geography of populist-nationalist parties: the case of Freedom and Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura party
Suchánek, Jonáš
Analytical research of a migrant's presence in a certain location on election outcomes of populist-nationalist parties is a relatively new phenomena in the field of electoral geography. Media and political interest in migration and refugees has risen rapidly in the last few years and offers a broad opportunity for relevant scientific studies. This thesis stems from existing literature, that have studied such relation and focuses on the case of The Freedom and Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura Party (SPD) and on the possible influence of the share of migrants on SPD's electoral support at two different scale levels (municipalities with authorized municipal offices and individual municipalities) during the 2017 parliamentary elections. Analysing the most important groups of migrants and additionally a formed group of migrants coming from countries with either dominant or significant Muslim native population can be considered as innovative. The main goal is to discover whether the election outcomes of SPD, which stands strongly opposed to migration, differ based on the share of migrants in a certain area, or if migration does not play any role at all. Furthermore, the electoral geography of SPD is compared to the of Tomio Okamura's former party - Dawn of Direct Democracy, whose rhetoric did not focus...

The development of the discourse of right-wing populism in the Czech Republic
Němcová, Lucie ; Císař, Ondřej (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee)
The thesis examines the development of right-wing populist discourse in the Czech Republic and aims to define the forms and possible changes in populist discourse with a special emphasis on argumentation, then to interpret the changes in a broader social and political context. The research focuses on three organizational incarnations of right-wing populism: Public Affairs, Dawn of Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura and Freedom and Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura. The research method is a discursive-historical approach, which draws on the analysis of topoi. An analysis of the programs of the two movements and the party showed that the right-wing populist discourse has shifted from the original themes that the Public Affairs party has raised. These are included in the other two movements, but each adds something extra. From the initial anti-elite attitudes, social chauvinism and emphasis on direct democracy in the case of Public Affairs to nationalism and the promotion of national pride in the case of the Dawn, to the harsh euroscepticism, Islamophobia and anti-immigration appeals in the case of the SPD. The topoi used in the VV program is primarily topos of abuse, but the Dawn, with its specific appeal to national awareness, also introduces topos of people or topos of advantage, and the SPD clearly...

The Entry of New Political Parties into the Chamber of Deputies in 2017
Trojan, Jan ; Šárovec, Daniel (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
Czech Parliamentary Elections in 2017 led into surprising results, according to which the largest number of political entities have historically taken a seat in the lower house of the parliament. It was even the first experience on the national political scene for a third of them. Despite the fact that these entities succeeded in these elections for the first time, some of their members already were part of the Chamber of Deputies before, and thus have experience with the functioning of the lower house from the last election period. It mainly applies to Mayors and Independents (STAN) and Freedom and Direct Democracy - Tomio Okamura (SPD). The third examined entity is Czech Pirate Party (Piráti), which also tried to join the lower house in previous elections. Such a wide fragmentation of political parties is not a common phenomenon in the Chamber of Deputies and it represents a challenge for a closer research. The outcome of this thesis will be to analyse how similar or different are these political entities and which factors were possibly essential for their electoral success.
