In the Czech Republic, associations of independent candidates play an exceptional role in local politics; in fact, members of such associations are the most common type of politician in the country. Even the large political parties do have enough members to put together candidate lists in most municipalities without the help of candidates not affiliated to any political party. This article demonstrates the cogency of distinguishing between two types of non-party politicians. First, there are politicians (candidates, councillors) who are not members of any political party but take advantage of the opportunity to run for them. Second, there are independents who run either independently or on the candidate lists of associations of independent candidates. While similar in many respects, there are also important differences between the two. Independents are more frequently women and people who before November 1989 were not members of the Communist Party. Compared to political party members, non-members are often elected on the basis of preference votes, but have smaller ambitions and often do not stand for re-election. A new finding is that a not insignificant number of political party members began their political career as independents, before joining a political party. The article draws on data from the international survey Municipal Assemblies in European Local Governance (MAELG), which concentrates on the recruitment, political careers, values, attitudes and working conditions of councillors in municipalities with a population over 10 000 inhabitants. In view of the importance of the size of the municipality, the Czech survey was expanded to include councillors from municipalities with a population between 3000 and 10 000 inhabitants.

This article presents findings on ‘part-time’ mayors in the Czech Republic and to what extent the fact that they only work part time as mayor affects how well their municipality functions compared to those who work as full-time mayors. Drawing on data from an open database, this article analyses several variables relating to the status and activities of disengaged mayors. It also examines the quality of the functioning of municipalities with parttime and full-time mayors, respectively, and reveals whether there are more problems reported in the function of municipalities that have part-time mayors than those with full-time mayors. The findings of this evaluation are based on an analysis of the annual audits of municipalities.

The paper presents research that was conducted during the term of office 2010–2014 among elected representatives of the cities of Opole and Olomouc. The aim of the research was to compare attitudes of local representatives, councillors of the given cities, toward selected reforms and particular tools devised to enhance civic participation and local democratic governance. The authors argue that attitudes and opinions of the representatives of both cities differ primarily in those areas in which they have own experience within the existing institutional setting (local referendum, participatory budgeting etc.).

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania postaw oraz opinii przedstawicieli samorządów, które przeprowadzono w kadencji 2010–2014 w Opolu oraz Ołomuńcu. Badania miały na celu porównanie poglądów i postaw radnych wobec wybranych narzędzi związanych z partycypacją i demokratycznym sposobem sprawowania władzy na poziomie lokalnym. Badania wykazały, że poglądy i postawy polityków na wybieralnych stanowiskach najbardziej różnią się w tych kwestiach, w których polscy i czescy samorządowcy mają osobiste doświadczenie (np. referendum, budżet obywatelski).
