Politics of the Czech Republic takes place in a framework of a Parliamentary Representative Democratic Republic , whereby the Prime Minister is the Head Of Government , and of a pluriform multi-party system. Executive Power is exercised by the government. Legislative Power is vested in both the Government and the two chambers of parliament, the Chamber Of Deputies (''Poslanecká sněmovna'') and the Senate . POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS The Czech Political scene supports a broad spectrum of Parties ranging from the semi-reformed Communist Party on the far left to various nationalistic parties on the extreme right. Generally, the (liberal) right beyond the specific case of huge Civic Democratic Party is splintered and has failed in several attempts to unite. Czech voters returned a split verdict in the June elections the government was reshuffled on the same basis but with Špidla ousted after a revolt in his own party. As the system in Czech conditions repeatedly produces very weak governments (a specific problem is about 20% support of the Communists shunned by all the other parties) there is a constant talk about changing it but without much chance of really pushing the reform through. An attempt to increase majority elements by tweaking the system parameters (more smaller districts etc.) by ČSSD and ODS during their "opposition agreement" 1998 – 2002 was vehemently opposed by smaller parties and blocked by the Constitutional Court as going too much against the constitution-stated proportional principle.
