In June the country's voters go to the polls in a much-anticipated clash between the ruling Social Democrats and the right-of-centre opposition Civic Democrats, with the Communists lurking in the wings. Who will people vote for? Will they bother voting at all? Are they happy with their lives? Do they still support their country's membership of the European Union? Do they want to ditch the Czech crown and adopt the euro? Analysing social, economic and political trends in Czech society is the work of the many polling agencies which have sprung up since the fall of Communism. One of the most successful is the private agency STEM. For this week's One on One, Rob Cameron speaks to STEM's director Jan Hartl about how the polls are produced, and how much we should rely on them. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/stems-jan-hartl-fascinated-changing-trends-czech-society-8624021 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
