The Electoral (Dis)Advantage of the Independent Candidates in Different Electoral System (Comparative Study of Slovak and Czech Local Election)
In: Lex localis: journal of local self-government, Volume 12, Issue 3, p. 533-546
In this paper we attempt to set some starting points for the comparative study on the position of independent local politics (candidates) in the relation with different electoral system, including choosing their strategies, alliances, steps, etc. We will compare two republics – Slovak republic and Czech Republic - which have not only common history and states, but transform after the split very differently, not only in the national level, but especially in the regional and local level.
