According to the current electoral model of the STEM agency, the ANO movement would now gain 63 seats in the lower parliamentary chamber. Spolu would have 46 mandates, SPD 29, STAN 25 and Pirates 20 mandates. Motorists would then have nine MPs, the Stačilo! movement one less. Groups in which members of more parties are running in the parliamentary elections next week, primarily allocated the state contribution according to the campaign costs.
The opposition movement ANO dropped to 28 percent in the current STEM election model. It's the worst result since January when the agency started polling. ANO has long been running at 30 percent in election models. In the last Sunday survey, it had 30.9 percent, so it dropped almost three percentage points. Despite this, it still leads by a large margin, the second coalition Spolu would have 21 percent. SPD is third again, the fourth movement is STAN and the fifth is Pirates. Motorists and the movement It's Enough!, which has considerably weakened, would also make it to the Parliament. This is according to the current STEM survey for CNN Prima News, published by the server Ceskenoviny.cz.
The groups that will get into the Parliament will receive at least more than ten million crowns from the state annually until the next elections. The only official coalition of this year's elections - Spolu - has the ratio of division of contribution amongst individual parties in a joint memorandum. The Stačilo! movement, on whose candidate lists are social democrats with communists and members of other smaller parties, will first repay a thirty-million loan that it took for the elections, according to the spokesperson, the next procedure will be resolved after the elections. SPD assumes that it pays for the whole campaign from its own funds. The movement planned it to be approximately 80 million crowns, informed the portal Ceskenoviny.cz.
