Abstract
The paper is focused on the use of phrasemes as persuasive means in the context of political discourse. Based on two probes into three Facebook statuses of leading Czech politicians, the research reveals a low frequency of use of phraseological and phraseologized units.
A similar conclusion was reached by a bachelor's thesis analyzing other materials of political discourse. Thus, phrasemes at present do not seem to be the linguistic means that politicians would use in their speech.
