Czech Green politics after two decades: the May 2010 general election

摘要

Taking place 20 years after the first free general election contested by the Czech Green Party (Strana zelenych), the 2010 election offers an opportunity to take stock of the development of Czech Green politics. The Greens' electoral support in recent regional, European and national elections did not differ greatly from their performance in the historical 1990 election (see Table 1). The right-of-centre self-placement of Green voters and party members on the left-right political scale has also remained unchanged since the early 1990s. In all other respects, however, Czech Green politics has undergone profound transformations.
