> But they're nearly (4/200) out of the parliament now. According to Wikipedia, the Pirates and Mayors group got 15.6% of the vote at the last election last month and has 37 seats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Czech_legislative_election#Preliminary_results https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Czech_legislative_electio...

Yes. But 33 seats are gained by the other party due to mechanism known as circling, which allows voters to give up to four preferential votes to specific candidates. The Majors Party is based around this "circling". For example, candidates from 10th place were voted in - in regions with 3/4/5 seats. The coalition agreement aimed to resolve this issue but failed.
