Voting under Different Rules / Governing under Different Rules

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The average cabinet durability in the Czech Republic stretches to about 21 months. The poor stability and efficiency of these governments has been traditionally attributed to the proportion-based electoral system. This was the single biggest source of argumentation in favour of an electoral reform. Three electoral reforms have been written into law since 1993. They are the focus of this article. The main objective of this article is to map the development of electoral reform policy in the Czech Republic. The text presents the details of a planned electoral reform, including the motivation they were based upon. It also examines if, and to what extent, an election reform is truly a lasting solution for chronically weak Czech governments. Many political scientists and political leaders still say that election reform is necessary. However, the roots of government crises show that disputes between partners frequently are not the reason. More often, internal tensions in the parties alone are to blame. Parties are not internally cohesive and are weaker for that. Therefore, it would be wrong to assume that a change of electoral system can preempt any type of government crisis.
