Opposition in Czech will win because current government fail almost in everything. SPOLU declared themselves as middle right coalition, but implement left politics, ie increasing taxes about 20% for freelancers in last year, keeping almost one od highest inflation in EU, funding useless projects... No wonder that about 75% Czechs are dissatisfied with current PM Fiala. https://cvvm.soc.cas.cz/en/press-releases/political/politicians-political-institutions/5826-evaluation-of-petr-fialas-cabinet-april-may-2024 https://cvvm.soc.cas.cz/en/press-releases/political/politici... Opposition is even worse. They do what public surveys and Babis (the leading oligarch here) tells them to do. I expect lowest voter turnout because quite a lot people don't see any point in voting. Which is ok for me. We need rethinking about current approach of giving our responsibility to unknown electorate.

Well, our economy is stagnating, and the PM is an academic who looks detached from the real world. There are also obvious struggles within Brussels whether the unrealistic eco-plans are going to be at least watered down or no, and the EC is still trying to push them through as much as possible. In that environment, a "media-talented" oppositional politician who professes mild Euroskepticism is going to have an easy time winning.

  That is a least bothering aspects of opposition to me. Whats frustrate me is how people still believe in politics even though nothing much really change. Debt, taxes and inflation driven by greedy politicans will increase, uneconomical spending and socialism dependence on state rising. Most wouldn't get any penny without fundings from our taxes. Or mortgage. We have ridiculous amount of state employees (highest police members per citizen), heavy bureaucracy, 50 thousand new regulations every year. It's not sustainable both for economy and sake of mind.

Join a local party and observe how the discussion is not really centred around screwing their voters over, hopefully. My take was about as yours before I tried to do something and realized how hard it is.

      Abusing political power is completely different topic than idea of make decisions for others and pretend that it is in favour of majority.
