“…A comparison of Slovakia and the Czech Republic are also not uncommon (e.g. Deegan-Krause, 2006;Voda, Pink, 2015;Žúborová, 2015or Frič, Gyárfášová, 2019. It turns out that Slovak politics is a constant subject of research by many authors not only from Central Europe.…”

This article aims to analyse changes of the Slovak party system from 1992 to the last parliamentary elections of 2020. These elections were the eighth elections in the history of independent Slovakia. There are discussions about stability or instability of individual development stages of the party system. In the article, Attention is paid to changes in the distribution of forces within the development of the party system. In political science, various methods are used to measure the party system’s dynamics to determine the intensity of changes and the trends arising from them. This analysis is based on election results in each electoral cycle (period), which are being compared. Next part of the analysis is focused on the selected comparative indicators: Index of the Effective Number of Parties and Aggregation Index. These indices are chosen based on the criteria of classification of party systems. The results presented in the final part of the paper prove that several significant milestones in development of party system could be identified, as confirmed by the 2020 general elections – a major breakthrough in development trends.

Modern democratic political systems are hardly conceivable without political representation. This also applies to the European Union, a unique international organisation with a directly elected and fully-fledged assembly representing the EU citizens. Because geography is central to the operation of almost all electoral systems and the European Parliament is the first transnational assembly based on the Member States representation, the paper explores the spatial aspect of the composition of the European Parliament resulting from the 2019 election. The representation in the European Parliament may be degressively proportional, which implies malapportionment of seats across the EU Member States. The paper, thus, seeks to quantify the malapportionment in the 2019 election at both the aggregate level (by the adaption of Loosemore and Hanby's distortion index) and individual level (advantage ratio and the value of a vote). It concludes malapportionment was just below 14,5 % of the total seats in 2019 while the 2019 election did not bring the degressively proportional representation in the European Parliament as required by the Lisbon Treaty.

This article examines historical patterns in the political preferences of Slovakia’s urban population based on the results of the 1929 democratic parliamentary election. Within the group of 114 towns existing at that time, the authors define nine types of towns with specific patterns of political preferences, identified by using the cluster analysis. Individual types are named according to the dominant political orientation. These types are also characterized in terms of their geographic location, size, ethnic origin and religious makeup, which is essential to explain spatial electoral patterns of the day. The article also delineates the position of individual towns and their clusters in relation to the main cleavages (centre/periphery, conservatism/secularism, right/left) existing within the party system in interwar Slovakia.
