		The Civic Democratic Party (Czech: Občanská demokratická strana - abbreviation: ODS) is the largest conservative political party in the Czech Republic.
		The party was founded in 1991, after the Civic Forum split, by Václav Klaus and it is currently led by Mirek Topolánek.
		In the 2002 elections, it became the second largest party in the Chamber of Representatives with 58 of 200 seats, and for the first time in its history, assumed the role of a true opposition party.

	Major Czech Political Parties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Social Democratic Party (ČSSD) is the descendent of the Social Democratic party formed in 1878 and is the only pre-communist social democratic party in Eastern Europe to have successfully regained its reputation.
		In 1990, the Social Democrats failed to reach the five percent threshold and thus, was not represented in Parliament.
		The Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) was also founded in 1989 and achieved parliamentary representation until 1998, when it decided to refrain from participating in elections to prevent fragmentation of the democratic right, throwing its constituents to the ODS and the Freedom Union.

	Central Europe Review - The Czech Republic: Media Melee
		A different observer has noted that this is quite understandable, because the main political parties, the Civic Democrats and the Social Democrats, are clumsy in their handling of the media.
		Each parliamentary political party (with the exception of the Communists, who are being boycotted by all the other Czech political parties, in spite of their relatively, substantial parliamentary representation) has made direct appointments on its behalf.
		Thus, the Civic Democratic Party has appointed three individuals who seem to slavishly support its party line: Miroslav Mareš, František Mikš (the editor of the Proglas journal) and Jana Dědečková (characterised as a "media expert," this interesting lady is in fact an owner of a boarding house in the Czech mountains.

	Central Europe Review - Jan Culik: A Fistful of Impressions
		People clapped and whistled and demanded that the government should resign, that the leaders of the Social Democratic Party, Milos Zeman, and Civic Democratic Party, Vaclav Klaus, should leave politics, and that the current "opposition agreement" between the Civic Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party should be abolished.
		After it became impossible to create a coalition government with smaller Czech parties, especially due to the irrational intransigence of one of them, Klaus and Zeman concluded an agreement on the basis of which the Social Democratic party is able to govern with a tacit agreement of the Civic Democratic deputies in Parliament.
		The Civic Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party are against calling an early election, the smaller parties outside government - the People's Party, the Freedom Union and the Communists - would probably support an early election, or so they say.

	ODS
		Civic Forum (OF) appeared on the political scene in the late 1989 as a spontaneously established movement type elite-driven catch-all party alliance based on a distinct anti-communist ideology.
		Christian parties, even the later partners of ODS in government, were regarded as ambiguous as regards attitudes on important policy fields, especially as far as the economic policy.
		Thus the party culture and orientation of most party members remained bound to the leadership, on the policy level the voucher-privatisation, the liberal economic policy and the policy line leading to the division of Czechoslovakia.

	What is going on in politics in the Czech Republic
		The dissidents from the Civic Forum, with their vague emphasis on morals, culture and intellectual concerns irritated the general public by what was perceived as sanctimoniousness and lack of action.
		Klaus's Civic Democratic Party won 32 seats, social democrats won 25 seats, KDU SL 13 SEATS, ODA 7 seats and the smaller parties were disadvantaged by the majority voting system: the communists received only two seats.
		Instead, the Civic Democratic Party is blindly continuing on the road to defeat.

		The opposite views espoused by the Civic Democratic Party—views damaging our national future, views that are incompatible with the preservation of the influence of Europe in the world, are a fact.
