New political parties are an object of interest in many studies, either in the form of theoretical anchoring to relevant concepts or in the search for further theoretical overlaps. However, there is not a general agreement in political parties’ research on exactly how to classify a new political party and how precisely newness is measured and captured. New parties may be an important element in analysing the party system’s entire transformation. Th is text is a discussion paper to introduce and debate various analytical perspectives on the analysis of new parties, that have not yet achieved much in the Czech environment. In addition to the current state of knowledge, three major problems will be outlined, such as the absence of a generally accepted defi nition of a new political party, the applicability of diff erent theoretical frameworks, and the question of continuity or discontinuity of individual new or established actors. Th e text aims to discuss the possibilities of measuring novelty as a dichotomous variable. Each of the presented approaches has its advantages and pitfalls, depending on the empirical reality and the justifi cation of the author’s preferred analytical approach.

New political parties can be important holders of change or representatives of poorly accented social or political problems. The success of such groups may lead to more or less fundamental transformation of the entire party system. The aim of this study is to focus on two successful new entities, which recorded a breakthrough in elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic in 2013: a Movement ANO 2011 and the Dawn of Direct Democracy. The goal is to analyse these players through the agency of Sikks‘ concept of newness. The novelty shall therefore not be considered merely from a strictly chronological point of view, but from a broader perspective and incorporates more detailed analytical criteria targeting particular ideological profiles programmatically examined groupings and also the key role of leaders. Movements ANO and Dawn sharply delimited against current establishment. They posed as a clear alternative to the traditional political parties. Each of these analysed movements has chosen programmatically a different path for this purpose.
