Abstract: County elections 2012 in the Czech Republic displayed a mixture of continuity and novelties. Since 2000 four county elections have been mid-term elections and their results have supported second-order elections theory. The Civic Democratic Party of Václav Klaus, who was one of the biggest opponents of the introduction of decentralization, won the first county elections in 2000. After a dozen years, in 2012, the largest number of mandates was obtained by the Social Democrats and Communists. Together they formed nine of 13 county coalitions. The Communist Party became one of the main county government parties and the biggest parliamentary parties suffered losses. |
