A wolf without teeth : Electoral manifestos of populist radical right party SPD in Czech local elections
Original language description
As the name suggests radical right parties are going to the edges of political spectre. It applies mostly for national level politics where such parties can hold strong nationalist, anti-immigration and anti-elitist positions. However, such positions often do not have any meaning at local level because local government can hardly restrict the migration within country, the local elites are based on their communities what diminishes the utility of anti-elite stances and local government cannot change rules of local politics. The nature of local politics is thus somehow hostile to presence of radical parties. In this paper, I investigate the ways in which radical right party SPD copes with local level in 2018 and 2022 municipal elections. Using manual and automated coding of electoral manifestos from 175 municipalities I show that in some municipalities party does not differ from other parties in regard of political stances indicated in manifesto while in some municipalities party makes claims unrelated to scope of local level to strengthen their radical appeal.
