"Prague and love must prevail over village and hatred"? Cleavages and voting patterns in the Czech presidential election 2023
2023
Abstract
Is it possible to argue that Petr Pavel and Andrej Babiš are strictly divided on the urban/rural cleavage in the Czech presidential election? What is the bond between a candidate and "his" political party? These questions were discussed in the article. Using statistics and geographical displays of election results, we discovered that differences in electoral gains between Pavel and Babiš are visible in the biggest cities very much.
Nevertheless, we cannot apply it to the whole Czech municipality structure. Any links were founded between candidates and "their" political parties.
It is mainly about those who are the key faces of the party or were ideologically profiled.
