Attitudes of the Czech public to the energy concept and coal mining

The survey results clearly indicate that the Czech public supports the end of coal mining; however, it would prefer a gradual termination over a longer period of time rather than a quick stop. Respondents were in favour of maintaining mining regulations in the form of mining limits and would certainly not expand the current extent of mining.

The Czech Republic should look for its future primary energy source mainly in renewable energy sources or nuclear energy in combination with renewable energy sources.

Brexit will hurt Great Britain, the EU, but also the Czech Republic. Great Britain has the main responsibility for the complications; Czechs want the UK to remain in the EU.

From September 13th to October 8th, MEDIAN surveyed the views of the Czech public on the current situation concerning Brexit. The survey is representative for the internet population over 18 years of age in the Czech Republic. We publish the results exclusively with iDnes.cz.

58% of respondents personally want the UK to remain in the European Union. Almost a quarter of respondents do not care whether Britain will stay or leave the EU.

MEDIAN on the EP elections: In which groups of voters did ANO, Pirates or ODS score and how loyal are the voters of each party?

The parties’ profits were significantly influenced by the different
voter involvement and turnout. The decline in participation is the main
reason for the fall of the CSSD and the decline in profit of ANO. Only
about a third of the Social Democratic voters from the 2017 Parliament
elections voted in the elections and less than 40% of the ANO voters.
The participation of 2017 Pirate voters was also relatively weak (around
30%).

We have celebrated 100 years since the formation of the republic. How do Czechs perceive crucial events and personalities of their own history?

For the occasion of the centenary of
the independent Czechoslovak statehood, Median prepared a survey for the Czech
Television mapping the views of Czechs on important moments and personalities
of the last hundred years of our history.

From a general historical point of view, the best evaluated stage of the history of Czechoslovakia / Czechia is the First Republic (72 % positive evaluation), followed by the transformation period after 1989 and the present (70 %).

Voters from social bubbles differ in the perception of the counter-candidate and in the interpretation of the debates

Almost 30% of people lived in a social “bubble” at the time of the presidential election – that means that the vast majority of people they know voted either Jiří Drahoš or Miloš Zeman. The fact that your peers predominantly choose one candidate increases the chance of you also voting for him 8–9 times – even if we control for sociodemography, regionality and the party elected in the Parliament elections.
