Party identification in the Czech Republic: inter-party hostility and party preference

This study introduces basic models of voting behaviour and describes in greater detail the findings and starting points of the model of party identification. It recapitulates findings related to the voting behaviour in the Czech Republic throughout the nineties, as well as the reasons leading to the application of the party identification model to the analyses of voting behaviour. The influence of positive feelings toward the elected party and negative feelings toward the other parties are tested here.
