SVITÁK, Matyáš. Proměna sociodemografických charakteristik voličů hnutí ANO a teritoriálního aspektu podpory v letech 2013-2017. Praha, 2022. 54 s. Bakalářská práce (Bc). Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut sociologických studií, Katedra sociologie. Vedoucí bakalářské práce Mgr. Tomáš Dvořák, Ph.D. Abstract The bachelor thesis deals with the change of socio-demographic, life-value variables and territorial aspects of electoral support for the ANO movement between 2013 and 2017. It is divided into three parts - theoretical, methodological and analytical. The theoretical part presents the most important features of populism, which are subsequently identified in the electoral strategy of the ANO movement. The movement's strategy is further discussed in detail; attention is also paid to past research on the characteristics of ANO voters. The methodological and analytical part focuses on the secondary analysis of data from the ESS international research project (specifically from 2014 and 2018). To determine changes in the characteristics of ANO voters between these two years, a series of analyses (chi-square tests, t-tests, binary logistic regression) were conducted using SPSS software to reveal the answers to the research questions - namely, in what ways do voters differ most, in what ways are...

The success rate of implementing voting programs by the government parties in the years 2018-2021
Regner, Jakub ; Hájek, Lukáš (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
This bachelor thesis aims to determine to what extent the governing parties ANO and ČSSD managed to fulfil their 2017 election programmes during the 2018-2021 electoral period. From the text of the election programmes, pledges were identified through content analysis, and each pledge was assigned to a category according to a thematic area. The results of the research showed that the ANO movement managed to fulfil 55% of all testable promises, while the ČSSD fulfilled only 36% of the promises from its election programme. The results also confirm the hypothesis based on the theoretical assumption of the functioning of the party mandate model in developed democracies, where holding the prime minister's seat leads to a higher rate of fulfilment of the electoral programme. It is this positive effect that has not been confirmed in the cases of previous elections. The paper identifies the covid-19 pandemic as one of the external factors that could have significantly affected the number of promises fulfilled.

Decrease of Electoral Preferences of ČSSD after the Chamber of Deputies' Elections in 2017
Telerovský, Hynek ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Perottino, Michel (referee)
The bachelor thesis is concerned with the Czech Social Democratic Party and focuses on the election failures of the party in the last two decades. The main objective is to answer the question: What caused the electoral decline of one of the most influential political parties in the Czech Republic? The author identifies potential sources of such a decline. In the theoretical part, he discusses the problems of social democracies on the European continent in the context of the global financial crisis of 2008, which he sees as one of the general factors behind the decline of these parties. In the case of CSSD, the author adds the failed attempt to modernize CSSD, which may have contributed to its decline. In the practical part, both factors are examined in more detail with a specific focus on the CSSD. Using the method of synchronic comparison, the author compares the changes in the electoral success of individual social democratic parliamentary parties in the period 2010-2021. The second factor, concerning the electoral performance of the CSSD after the party's modernization, is examined in the context of the movement of voters and the emergence of new political parties based on the analysis of sociological data. The results confirm the author's assumption that the increasing electoral decline of the...

These two parties gained a substantial percentage of votes and became part of the government despite the fact, that they were established shortly before the elections. In the theoretical part of this thesis, the formation and success of new parties abroad and in the Czech Republic is analysed. The main focus are the voters voting these parties, so there is an extended part dealing with voting behavior in the Czech Republic. Secondary analysis is the research method used in this thesis; its advantages are discussed in the methodological part. Secondary analysis of multiple high quality data sets is used to compare the voters of the new parties and the voters of other established parties.

Between media presentation of political parties and thier election result.
Kutil, Tomáš ; Křeček, Jan (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
This thesis deals with the relationship between media coverage of political parties and election results. Specifically, it focuses on four political parties (TOP 09, Věci veřejné, KDU- ČSL and Strana zelených) in the period of nine months before the parliamentary elections in May 2010. The two established political parties were not successful in these elections (KDU- ČSL and Strana zelených), the other two parties were. Using quantitative content analysis of media content this work examines media coverage of these four parties in nationwide television, radio and print media. The thesis compares differences between media presentations of the parties with the evolution of political preferences of the parties. As a source, monthly data acquired by two public opinion research agencies - CVVM and Median - was used. Even more important to answer the research questions was to compare the media presentation of the parties with their final election results. The thesis assumes that the form of media presentation of the parties is one of the factors that affects their voters' support. Based on the data found this thesis tries to find out trends and patterns guiding the relationship between media space which parties achieved, the development of their electoral preferences and the final election results.
