“…The effect in some cases was a creation of a sub-party system of 'self-sustaining, cyclical' anti-establishment supply (Haughton and Deegan-Krause 2015: 68). Contemporary scholarship suggests several contextual explanations for changes in support of anti-establishment parties (including populist ones) including economic and political crises, corruption (real and perceived), as well as the instability of party systems (Kriesi and Pappas 2015;Engler 2016;Hanley and Sikk 2016). Overall, however, these studies reveal a complex relationship between particular conditions and populist success that is at best 'fuzzy' (Kriesi and Pappas 2015).…”

The more populism enters public debates, the more it needs close scrutiny. Central and Eastern Europe offers a useful context for exploring the diversity of parties identified as populist. Antiestablishment rhetoric provides a suitable conceptual starting point because of its pervasive role in the region's political discourse. Using a new expert survey, this article details the relationship between antiestablishment salience and political positions, showing that anti-establishment parties occupy a full range across both economic and cultural dimensions and many occupy more centrist positions. Narrowing the focus to content analysis of anti-establishment parties' thin ideology in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, it is concurrently found that for many actors (including those usually labelled as populist) antiestablishment rhetoric is indeed predominant, yet not always extensively combined with other elements of populism: people-centrism and invocation of general will. The findings are important for understanding multiple varieties of anti-establishment politics also beyond the region.

“…As shown by Hanley and Sikk (2016), corruption was an important contextual factor behind the electoral success of antiestablishment reform parties in Central and Eastern Europe. Similarly, Engler (2016) showed an important effect of the perceived relative level of corruption on the electoral fortunes of new political parties, including the new populist challengers.…”

Nevertheless, it is true that this is a subset of the broader anchored research of political parties.…”

New political parties can be essential holders of party systems' change. A lot of scholars underline this reality. In fact, it is often not enough only to establish a new political subject. There is a significant relationship between a new party emergence and the subsequent electoral success, which is often an overlooked research dimension. This article intends to focus on the most important features narrowly connected with new political parties' study approaches. There is no concurrence on what a new political party exactly is. It is possible to find a whole range of high -quality based articles exploring newness in a current or recent state of knowledge. Despite it, this research still has several substantial doubts about this question. Examples of Czech political parties that have been successful in the first -order elections (FOE) and where the problematic aspects of their declared novelty can be traced will be compared here. The evidence of complexity pertaining to this phenomenon is obvious: every political party is new in the moment of its formation in reality, but on the other hand not every political party is new regarding an appropriate theoretical concept. This empirical base shows that declared novelty can be rather more a tool of broader communication and image strategy than a real indisputable party attribute.
