On the whole, the orientation to the right and the strong centre are still slightly predominant. In this respect, no significant changes have occurred during the last six years since when we have been monitoring the self-classification of respondents on a left-right scale. The left-wing orientation is traditionally reported among pensioners, blue-collar workers, respondents with low living standards and sympathisers of the KSCM and the CSSD – the latter also make a strong presence in the middle of the scale.
The right-wing orientation is more widespread among people with higher education (high school with a final exam, universities), white-collar personnel, businessmen, tradesmen, respondents aged 30 to 44 years, persons with good living standards, as well as among supporters of the ODS, US-DEU and the Coalition.
