Talk:2013 Czech presidential election

Other categories in the table
I am open to suggestions of other categories that might be added to the table. Originally I wanted to add religion, however it seems to be next to impossible to find out for the most of the candidates (although the presumption would be atheist).Cimmerian praetor (talk) 13:02, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Religion is maybe only interesting because of Jan Fisher, and I'm not sure it would add much here. Readers can click through to the biography articles for those sorts of details. What does worry me is that its combined with the three polls there. The Czech language version of this article has 21 total polls from three organizations, and I'd like to move those tables over here. Are folks okay with that, removing polls from the table of candidates?-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 23:26, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not sure whether it is necessary. I would leave it with three from the same organization, in the end September, November and January. Anyway the polls in the Czech Republic are mostly bogus, as we have seen in the last regional election. But I won't stay in your way in case you move here all of them from CZ wiki.Cimmerian praetor (talk) 06:42, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

English source for info on candidate rejections
Hi guys, here is an English language source for the rejection of candidates - http://praguemonitor.com/2012/11/26/interior-ministry-selects-8-presidential-candidates - Apologies for not doing it myself, but I haven't been a WP editor for years so I can't remember how to do any of the formatting! FWIW Support suggestion above to incorporate any available polling data from CZ language WP, I've been coming here to check it out, maybe others are too? 89.177.166.108 (talk) 22:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Failed candidates
Is it necessary to mention failed candidates who collected 50 or 20 signatures, such as Mr. Kesner and Mr. Světnička and others from the bottom of the table? Btw, the reasoning of Mr. Kesner at court is one of the funniest things I read this year :) --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it is encyclopedia after all, and having a couple more lines in the table does not hurt anybody. Nevertheless I would very much welcome if someone added more details on the happenings after lodging of the petitions. It may become a welcome source for English media in case that the Constitutional Court postpones the date of vote. I don't have the time neither the will to do it.

 * All these candidates filed their candidature to the ministry and all of them got a decision of the ministry which was published properly. Most of them filed a complaint to the Supreme Court and to the Constitutional Court and the courts engaged in them properly. From the legal and procedural view, a candidate with 50 signatures is equal to the candidate with 49 000 signatures (as well as a candidate with 500 000 signatures who would not meet some other legal condition). Two of them argued that they were requested and awaiting a parliament support. One of them argued that the constitutional requirement of 50 000 signatures was not in force yet when the candidature was filed. Most of them declared that they consider the 50 000 requirement as unconstitutional. They delimit and test possibilities of the new process and gaps of the law. They have an influence on the future amendments of the election law. The 11 "loosers" and their registration requests are an inherent part of the election process, as well as the 8 registered candidates who will fail likewise undoubtedly in the end. But the article is not only about the winner. --ŠJů (talk) 02:30, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, no problem. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:39, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
