Czechs and Involvement in Public Life

As a part of February survey there were also some questions focused on interest of Czech citizens in political events in their country as well in the world, involvement of Czech citizens in political and public life, respondents´ attitudes to public activities leading to legislative changes and public opinions of chances that people have to influence public events.

Interest in political events divided Czech society in two parts – 50 % of respondents told our interviewers that they are interested in political events in general (answers – definitely interested and rather interested) and other half of people said that they are not interested in political events (definitely not interested and rather not interested).

66 % of Czech citizens are interested in political events in our country, while 34 % of people are uninterested. On contrary political events in European Union are interesting only for a third of people (33 %) on the other hand two thirds of Czechs remain uninterested. Finally, more than a half of respondents (56 %) are not interested in political events all over the world, while two fifths of Czechs are interested in it.
