WHAT'S ON BRITSKÉ LISTY

What to Expect from the New Parliament?

1. 6. 2010 / Michal Škop

The KohoVolit.eu (WhoToVoteFor.eu) association asked the parties running in the elections 56 questions about their plans for the next 4 years . Based on their answers we worked out an internet test (altogether it the questions were answered by about 1/4 million people). The parties' answers also allow us to see what should Czech Republic expect from their new Parliament. At this time of "looking for political program intersections" it can be an interesting insight for us all. The association will continue following whether the elected politicians will be voting according to what they promised during the campaign.
