| Description | This article looks for context between the quality-of-life index in Czech municipalities with extended powers and the electoral performance of political parties that won seats in the 2017 general election and again crossed the 5% electoral threshold in 2021. It assesses connections with the quality-of-life index and the quality-of-life index with control variables. The populist party ANO and far-right party SPD received more electoral support in municipalities with a lower quality of life. As the value of the index increased, so did the electoral performance of two centre-right wing coalitions SPOLU, and the coalition of Pirates and STAN. Model n. 2 shows that with control variables, the influence of quality of life was unchanged. The size of a municipality’s population and the proportion within it of Catholics and non-EU nationals also had a statistically significant effect on party electoral performance. |
