Czech legislative election, 2006
Encyclopedia
Parliamentary elections were held in the Czech Republic
on 2 and 3 June 2006.
The pre-election campaign was fierce and mostly negative. A major scandal broke out few days before the election. The two largest parties had profited from the divisive campaign – both had obtained the highest percentage of votes ever. Turnout of otherwise apathetic Czech voters was increased, compared to previous parliament election.
The election has produced an evenly balanced result. One potential coalition – the Civic Democratics (ODS), Christian Democrats (KDU-ČSL) and Green
s (SZ) – took 100 seats, exactly half. The Social Democrats
(ČSSD) and Communists
(KSČM) comprised the other half of the chamber, making the possibility of a minority Social Democratic government supported by the Communists equally problematic.
The Civic Democrats, Christian Democrats and Green
s finally gained confidence on 19 January 2007 (230 days after the elections), thanks to two social democratic deputies who abstained, thus effectively choosing a right-wing government rather than the unstable situation ongoing since the June 2006 elections.
The document suggested that former prime minister Stanislav Gross
had a connection with criminal underground and hinted that prime minister Jiří Paroubek
was indirectly involved in a murder, deals with the mafia and is a pedophile
. It also contained information about minor officials, some already imprisoned for suspicions of bribery.
Paroubek and the others denied these claims and accused the opposition (ODS) of trying to manufacture a scandal to avoid election failure. After the election Paroubek said that the allegations cost his party (ČSSD) victory and that democracy was in as much danger as in 1948 (when the Communists
seized power). Initially, he planned to challenge the election result.
consists of 200 members elected for a four year term. Seats are allocated by proportional representation amongst those lists which have gained at least 5% of the national total of valid votes cast.
Party lists are presented in 14 regions. Votes are cast for a list but voters are allowed up to two preference votes for candidates on that list.
The Czech Republic
has a parliamentary system of government, with ministers being responsible to the Chamber of Deputies
. The Chamber is the most powerful organ of the state with power to override vetoes by the President
and the Senate
.
Possibilities at this point include a highly improbable grand coalition
of the Civic Democrats and Social Democrats, which would command a powerful majority, adding up to 155 seats against 45; a minority cabinet of either of the 100-vote coalitions, which would have to be at least partly negotiated with the would-be opposition to get the majority required to approve it and pass any legislation; or a new call for fresh elections.
On 26 June, ODS, KDU-ČSL and SZ announced, that they had agreed on a coalition. Their government is expected to have 16 ministers: 10 from ODS, 3 from KDU-ČSL and 3 from SZ.
The coalition hoped to get the missing vote from ČSSD deputies. ČSSD, on the other hand, suggested to elect a temporary government until, new, premature election is hold. As of July 2006, the election of the chairman of the parliament is not concluded, blocking installation and then vote of confidence for the new government.
Major parties politicians had hinted the possibility to repeat the election, earliest on Autumn 2006. Voices suggesting that the switch to a majority representation is a way to avoid deadlocks like current one had appeared.
The situation was resolved, however in January 2007, giving the Centre-Right coalition and Green Parties government.
