Czech experience in the field of referendums is rather limited. Only one nationwide referendum which has been held so far, took place in 2003 and concerned the membership of the Republic in the European Union. The experience of referendums at the local level is incomparably richer: decisions related to environmental matters have gained importance. The greatest interest was raised by referendums on the creation of new municipalities, storage of radioactive waste and elements of radar to be included in the anti-missile shield. It is most probable that referendums will not be used more often than before at the state level in the Czech Republic in the future. This assumption is supported by the lack of such historical experiences as well as the unwillingness of political decision makers. Only local communities often use this kind of opportunity to express their stance on important matters. Significant support on the political scene has been obtained by groups who even call for direct democracy to play a more important role than before in the political system of the Republic. These are not the strongest parties in the Czech Parliament.

Elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, held on October 20 and 21, 2017, brought about the deepest change in the political system in that country. The composition of the Chamber, in comparison with the previous elections, changed distinctly, the potent parties had weakened and new parties succeeded. The new parties in the Chamber do not represent the traditional model of a political party, they do not bring new ideas and they do not grow out of the old ideological systems. They are populist parties that use and evoke social emotions and offering simple solutions, which are referred to as bussines-firm parties. The author emphasizes that the changes made in 2017, although very deep, are a natural consequence of trends visible earlier, at least since 2010 elections.

Wybory do Izby Deputowanych Parlamentu Republiki Czeskiej, które odbyły się w dniach 20 i 21 października 2017 roku, spowodowały najgłębsze zmiany w systemie politycz­nym w tym kraju. Skład Izby, w porównaniu z poprzednimi wyborami, wyraźnie się zmienił, silne partie osłabły, a sukces odniosły nowe partie. Nowe partie w Izbie nie reprezentują tradycyjnego modelu partii politycznej, nie przynoszą nowych pomysłów i nie wyrastają ze starych systemów ideologicznych. Są partiami populistycznymi, które wykorzystują i wywołują społeczne emocje i oferują proste rozwiązania i są nazywane partiami biznesowo-firmowymi. Autor podkreśla, że zmiany dokonane w 2017 roku, choć bardzo głębokie, są naturalną konsekwencją tendencji widocz­nych wcześniej, przynajmniej od wyborów w 2010 roku.
