European Election as check ability before national election

Disclaimer: Everything below is only my personal point of view thanks to blogging platform :)

In my opinion, the European Election wasn’t interest for Czech’s policy until now. Yes of course, they want to be win in this election, but they won’t use their standarts methods.

As you probably know, in last month Czech’s goverment was deposed. If you more look on happening, you will get reason: no financial crisis, inability head of country or swine flu :-) Long-running unstability of goverment due to result last election. Only the three vote differ winner from the others. Such “assembled goverment” have never been successful because great ideas didn’t approve.

Nowadays, politicians prepare to early Czech election in autumn 2009. European Election will be good test, how they can increase effectivity their campaign.They are changing strategies - not only focus on candidates (name, face), but power of party would be ingredients for victory. So, they introduce bigger campaign than I expected. I’m still thinking, the main purpose to be statesman in Brussels is big income. For example future politician will have two times bigger salary than president of Czech republic - Vaclav Klaus.

The stronges parties in Czech republic are ČSSD, KDU-ČSL KSČM, ODS, ZELENÍ. (alphabetuc order).

Short characterization
ČSSD - left-wing politic, prefer social system, orientation on people with low or middle income, relate to PSE (http://www.socialistgroup.org/gpes/)
KDU-ČSL - Christian party, relate to EPP-ED (http://www.epp-ed.eu)
KSČM - electorships are almost old people, Communist party,relate to EUL-NGL (http://www.guengl.org)
ODS - right-wing politic, orientation on pepople with high come, relate to EPP-ED (http://www.epp-ed.eu)
ZELENÍ - relate to Greens-EFA (http://www.greens-efa.org/index.htm)

Last election was won by ODS and habit in our country is that, next election will win opposition. Victor determine rules, change law and move country forward. This changes are made at expense of citizens voting other parties.Research doesn’t show unexpected facts.

Other research (online public inquiry  )  shows if parties are changing strategy, citizens will vote mainly according to famous name or faces (2)

How will you vote or decide ?

I'll decide according to candidates // 39,9 %
I'll vote the same party which I voted to parliament // 26,8 %
I'll vote other party than I voted to parliament // 10,9 %
I won't vote 22,5%

mini result:  Due to deposed Czech goverment, interest about European Elections has increased.

    Hi Ivan,

    Interesting post. I like the variety of sources you use and particularly your explanation characterising the parties. Know its a bit naive of me but am shocked that a Brussels states(wo)man will have a 2 times bigger salary than that of the Czech Republic President.
