Content emptiness, low media coverage, exhausted parties, and indifferent voters: an invisible 2014 European Parliamentary election campaign in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The chapter deals with an issue of campaigning in the 2014 European Parliamentary Elections in the Czech Republic. It concludes that the European Parliamentary elections are in danger of becoming the third-order contest with barely more relevance than a public opinion poll in the Czech Republic. This is because the European Union does not matter much in the Czech Republic and the European elections generally are unpopular and undervalued there. There are several reasons for this but one of the most important is very limited knowledge of the EU among Czech citizens. At the same time, parties did not want to spend their finances and strength on the European elections. Therefore campaign preceding the 2014 European elections in the Czech Republic was barely visible and lacking any contentious issues.
