The new government has signaled a move away from strong military aid to Ukraine and a more skeptical stance on EU climate and migration policies. 📊 Current Political Landscape (April 2026) Party/Alliance 2025 Seats Current Status Lead Ideology Populism / Catch-all Opposition Liberal-conservatism Opposition Localism / Pro-EU Opposition Progressivism (Included in Gov) Nationalism / Euroscepticism (Included in Gov) Right-wing populism Note on "Stačilo!" (Enough!): This left-wing alliance, led by the Communist Party (KSČM)
The Czech political system uses a proportional representation system with a 5% threshold for single parties (coalitions have higher thresholds: 8% for two-party alliances, 11% for three or more). After the 2021 election, the number of viable political actors collapsed from a fragmented nine-party legislature (2017-2021) into a streamlined five-actor system. This concentration of power has allowed for more stable governance but has also intensified ideological clashes.
The perpetual "no" vote. The SPD votes against every government budget, every EU treaty, and every military alliance expansion.
